New member introducing myself & my RX7
Discussion
Hi all, I used to be a member on here a while ago, with a white V6 MR2, but my pc died with all the info attached, so decided to start again with a new user name, to go with my new car.
She is a '92 type R Mazda RX7, with a genuine 29k miles from new. I purchased her from the classified ads in PH, & I must say I am very pleased with her. She is my first rotary, so I have a lot to learn, but the more I looked at her the better she looked, so decided to chance it. Condition is superb, & has a nice list of mods, previous owner spent loads last year, before personal problems forced him to sell. I will update these when I become more familiar with them all.
Here is the only pic I have of her up to now.

I had one for a while, such road presence, and brilliant engine imo.
Its got brilliant handeling, and when it lets go i found it prettys smooth to catch, and ended up doing it at every roundabout, junction, corner etc that was safe to
A few things to watch:
The door handles are plastic, and it only takes one troll of a friend to snap them. They cost atleast 50 quid each to replace, and are hard to come by. Climbing through the boot of your car to get in isnt nice when everyones looking
I personally ran mine with 2 stroke oil + octane booster in the fuel, just a little extra safety for the engine, and it smells soooo nice
Get the rev counter to beep atleast once a drive, clears out the exhaust
I think its around 7.5k

Thanks for the positive comments guys, much appreciated.
Olber, am I right in thinking you have a V6 MR2 as well? Great minds etc etc...
977, I know what you mean about original pop up lights, I like them too, & did think I would return to the original settup, but these have grown on me, I really like them now.

I had a bright yellow one of those for about a year and, apart from the fuel consumption, I loved it and still miss it!
NEVER use the cubby in the drivers' door with the lid.
The lids break and are very expensive from Mazda and hard to come by second hand, very fragile.
Don't pull too hard on the interior door handles either, also very fragile.
Great car, have fun!

You're going to update us on his personal problems?! 
Very nice car mate, but can I just say that that Honda Type-R Badge looks awful? get a genuine Mazda type r badge if there is one, but please remove that!AbarthChris said:
