Discussion
Not been too active on PH of late but intending to start being more activeish 
Anyway car was picked up a few weeks ago now and unfortunately had a repair bill last week for a fair amount after the Apexi ECU decided it didnt like working anymore
Has a fairly decent spec though mostly small mods and on the whole the car has been left as Mazda intended
It's a 1996 RX7 still running the stock twin turbo setup (alot of people go single turbo or non-sequential however i love the drivability of having power from near enough any revs) all i've really done since buying the car is to lose the rear badges (the tuner badges that is, mazda/rx7/efini badges are staying) and to service it
Have to excuse the pic whoring, am still in proud new car mode with it at the moment

RobCrezz think i recognise your nick but not sure where from, you on imoc or similar?
Gauges arn't too bad really the 3 smaller ones dont get looked at (humidity, temp and a clock thats out of batt), Defi gauges are Water Temp, Oil Temp and Boost but they have preset warnings (control box is hidden away out of sight heh) so generally dont need more than the occasional glance as if something goes belly up the defi box will let you know.
And well the Apexi PFC Controller is redundant at the moment while i source a new Apexi ECU, back running on standard ecu for the time being.
Sitting inside the car though its generally a nice place to be, which is what matters day to day i suppose

GHOST! Didn't even realise you were a member here. So Cinq Tub is the start of a long expensive journey? Lucky I never got one then!
She is a beat though, I love RX7s, doubt I'll be finding the bank balance any time soon.
Good luck with her!
Lol long time no see! She is a beat though, I love RX7s, doubt I'll be finding the bank balance any time soon.
Good luck with her!
Am more of a lurker on PH but the RX7 forums not much for conversation heh Been around the block a bit since the Turbo Cinq, got my 106 Rallye, then the non turbo MR2, then 3 Turbo MR2's (dont get me started on those mind - most unreliable cars i've ever owned - bar the shed like one which i bought as it had a good engine) RX7 is just in its own league though, absolutely love it.
Edit: Bank balance wise not the best of decisions but i have the advantage of not having to worry about using it to commute as i have a free service to get to the office and when i have meetings at HQ etc i have company cars to use etc

You could join a specialist rx7 forum and ask the question there instead of asking it on a 4 year old thread.
