nice one nicely.. :notworthy:



A question for ya'll, are these two s15:s fitted with the same wide bodykit?

Cause the silver one got an grade "R" instead of the purple ones "1"

 

[Topper]

The Pewter one doesnt have a widebody kit :no:

Also the R means its been repaired, i.e. crashed. the grade 1 means its modified from standard.

 

[Yakozan]

As Topper said, The silver one has been accident repaired. It could be graded R/1 for modified and repaired. But it's up to the guy setting the grades I suppose if he thinks it's a "modified" item or not

By looking at the auction sheet the silver one has alot of panels exchanged.
Both front fenders
hood
passenger door
passenger side side skirt.

There is some remarks about the panel changes in the sheet, but I can't read japanese so I have no idea what it's saying.

Considering allt the panel exchanges, It might have been in a pretty big crash. But I'm only speculating here.
It has a higher interior grading compared to the purple one though

Edit: BjornE, Do you have access to see the auction sheet?
If not I can supply you with a link and login so you can have a look for yourself.

 

[bjornE]

Saw that now, probably to tired when I saw it first time..

I see, I've been told otherwise regarding grades but if you say so I'd better believe you instead! :thumbs:


Yakozan: I have no access to that so a link would be very helpful please.. via PM? :notworthy:

 

[Yakozan]

PM sent

 

[bjornE]

Sorry to dissapoint you guys...
But there won't be an s15 for me in a while...

Got a deal from my contact that I just can't refuse..


Mazda RX7 Efini Type-R2 -94
*94000km
*Mint condition interior
*Mint condition engine
*TEIN coilovers
*Reinforced clutch
*Shortshifter
*One set of 17" Black Advan R2-rims with tyres
*One set off 18" White Enkei-rims with tyres

More specs will be presented soon! :thumbs:


Still loving the s15 though!! :notworthy:

 

[Nicely]

Looks good. Good luck with the cheese engine

 

[bjornE]

Expected more reactions than the one from mr Niceguy himself.. busy holidays and no time for s15oc everybody?

Nicely: It will turn out just fine.. Got a 6month guarantee on the engine aswell.. :thumbs:

 

[raytsang]

Rx7 ummm nice.
just top it up with engine oil at every refil station you stop at and it be just fine. also make sure its got its full rebuild at 70,000km think the tip at the rotaty weir so it needs that rebuild.

just make sure you got a someone that can rebuild them, we in ireland have only one guy that specialist in rotatry rebuild and hes not cheap.

it is a good car if well maintained.

 

[Yakozan]

Looks nice
The fastest color too. Good choice :thumbs:

You got any pics of it with the white rims?

 

[bjornE]

Thanks for positive reactions from y'all!



Raytsang: It's a friend of mine who is selling the seven, he and his companion is two of the best rotarymechanics/importers in Sweden so I belive I can trust them. Also I've got a 6month engine-warranty as said in previous post.. :thumbs:

Yakozan: I will go to Katrineholm and have a look at it tomorrow (25th), WITH the white ones on, photos will be shot and posted.. :nod:
Not sure if the seven is gonna stay black though, I'm considering a wing, hood, rearspoiler and some sideskirts to make it even cooler, and if I do I'd better respray the whole car and not just these parts.
Wouldn't it be a shame to put on the same colour as before when I can get another one for almost the same price?

 

[bjornE]

Here's the s15 that I didn't get...

i Must admit i luuuuuurv the rx7's n that one you r having is B E A utiful, they sound amazing , handle like shit on a shovel n r very quick, but i am very wary of the constant attention needed to the engine, but it sounds like u have that covered with ur m8's soo well done n good luck

 

[bjornE]

Update:

* Getting CUSCO-coilovers instead of TEIN :thumbs:
* Won't buy the white rims, its better off with the black ones :nod:
* Will be getting a full bodykit with wider frontfenders
* Will get it completly resprayed in a brighter colour

Yako: here's a pic with the white Enkei-rims..

 

[sushiming]

shame about that but the rx7 is a nice car with good looks i also did think about one before geting the S15 i think thw white rims looks good with the car...makes it stand out which is good :thumbs:

 

[tigerbay]

Looks like a veilside front u have there , it looks v kewl, hope u are keeping it, and ur right those black rims r v nice, but it all depends on your new colour choice, that black looks sooooo sexy. personaly i myself would run with those colours 4 a while as i think it looks a demon machine

 

[I-nearly-bought-a-batty]

Looks good. Good luck with the cheese engine

Good on you for taking the plunge, I hope it doesn't sting your wallet too much! Do some homework on the car, there are many things you need to be aware of which could save you some costly rebuilds.

One word of warning, if you plan to modify it - and this includes minor mods such as exhaust and filter - you need to get an aftermarket ECU (unless it has one already). If you don't, you'll get another chance on your new engine.

[Topper]

Must admit i am a fan of the RX7 :nod:, although the engine put me off so i bought the S15 instead

Looking at the link for the purple S15 i noticed this -

Grade 4.0-Small scratch, tiny dent, less than 100,000km - In the auction it was grade 1, cheeky!

Also the interior is horrible, and i'm not even going to mention the doors -
