Nom nom nom. Still has to be one of the best looking 90's supercars.

Thats a very tasty rex!

If all goes well I will be jumping into RX7 ownership later this year. Just got to buy a new house first.

Thanks Bazza! Went for a late-night hoon in it to celebrate the car working again.

Took the car back to the spot where I took my first photos of her:

That. Is. Bloody. Lovely.

I used to see a barried and clearly unloved yellow one quite regularly at a workplace, always felt sorry for it, cars like this deserve looking after.

Probably the last photo of the car I'll be taking for a while. I've wanted to get this spoiler fitted for the best part of 10 months, but for one reason or another I've never been able to spare the car. I was hoping to get these bits fitted over the next couple of weeks, but with the MR2 still not back on the road I once again need to rely on the FD. So I offered the bits up to the car just as a glimpse as to what the back-end will look like...

The spoiler doesn't seem to be getting much love from the internet, but it's from an RX7! biggrin

I think i'll have to agree with teh internet, prefer it without the spoiler. (thats why they call it a 'spoiler' isn't it)

Think the rear diffuser could look good though!

I think the OE spoiler looks very good, it looks bare without one despite the nice ducktail shape to the rear edge of the car.

I have lost count of the models and books I have on this car, but I have still yet to own one or even sit in one!

Can this be used as a daily driver, short trips to work (only when it's raining which makes it even worse!!) Thinking of a Cayman S but keep coming back to these, always wanted one but never had the balls!

They really need to be warmed up and cooled down properly. Plus, really short journies can flood them and lead to premature wear of various seals.

More importantly, where did you find such a clean and unmolested one?

I'd love an R32 GT-R but they've all have something done to them whereas I just want a standard one.
