Crashing and fixing Mazda RX7 FD (non-shite)

[Station]

Here is my collection thread for suicide daft car. Heading down to SUSSEX which is about 220 miles.

 

 

Not even booked train ticket yet, but eschewing lime street for Chester as THERE IS SOMEWHERE TO PARK.

Welcome to the sunny south. Whereabouts in Sussex......

[Station]

Whoresham.

Sat in Chester Station awaiting my metallic tubular delay stench tube.

 

 

 

^ not my train

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Just don't expect to see boys in laced up boots and corduroys , they aren't the Cockney Cowboys .

 

You'd have to be really stupid to confuse Hersham Boys and Horsham for 20 years, I even visited Horsham once and wondered where the tower blocks were!

[Station]

Some woman just walking into me like I wasn't even there! I think she was trying to merge with me. She must be from Whoreshum.

.... Invisibility cloak has its downsides....

[nigel bickle]

S'nice town, innit.

 

However, judging by your timing, it will def be shut.

 

Look forward to seeing what you get!

[Station]

All I've eaten today!

 

 

Emptying tube (Tube not pictured)

 

 

Heading towards the tube/underground.

You could have driven the Corsa to Chester #unsmiley face

[Pillock]

All those people are heading for your knob? Eh?

[Ghosty]

Yeah - why scrap it when you could give it to Billy?

[Station]

Station of hors ('n' ham):

 

 

Wanted one for decades, thought SOD IT and bought one:

 

 

My drive home, 'oh Jesus'

 

[Matt]

That's JDM TYTE YO

 

In all seriousness though, these are bloody gorgeous.

[Timewaster]

I can't quite tell what it is.

 

RX 7?

 

Whatever it is, it's very shiny.

[Ghosty]

Yep, an FD.

 

Where's the spoiler?

[320touring]

FD FTMFW!

[Bucketeer]

Slightly very o/t but I once spent the night in the toilets at Horsham station. I got a decent kip and it was more comfortable and smelled better than the train.

Good luck for the journey home.

[Lacquer Peel]

They are great looking cars, nice to see a relatively un-barried one.

 

Bets on using as much oil as petrol?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Do these have a Bosch pump?

[Lacquer Peel]

Nippon Denso.

[philibusmo]

Top purchasing action there, I flipping love these. Unfortunately another car on my bucket list I doubt I will ever be able to afford. Once I 'be managed to save a decent wodge of cash for one without spending it all on a biege Maestro or whatever I suspect these will have climbed well out of budget.

[barrett]

Shame it was dark when you arrived, Horsham station is one of my favourite buildings in Sussex!

[Station]

Definitely Nippon Denso pump I'm afraid.

280 miles on 40 quid, 33mpg on a run, 3000rpm @ 75mph. Same as my MR2 (which does about 5000rpm @ 75mph). It has just been imported and MOT'd, so previous owner wasn't a Bally Boy.

[Lacquer Peel]

33MPG is good, I thought rotaries were ruinous to run.

[Station]

Not good around town, genuine 10 - 15mpg.
100% pleased to bits with it, its all I expected and wanted it to be but the interior plastics are unforgivably shite, and the doors have a long metallic clang when you close them. Was expecting a bit more refinement from a £32k car.

[Sigmund Fraud]

_{Now that's what I call a WBOD ! Are they as vicious in the wet as they are supposed to be ?}

[Dave_Q]

Nice car mister, GR19 for living out childhood Gran Turismo fantasies.

 

True story: my Impreza has those small font number plates and the ANPR at my local Sainsburys car park doesn't recognize them. This has already saved me enough money on parking to buy nearly a gallon of V power.

[Station]

_{Now that's what I call a WBOD ! Are they as vicious in the wet as they are supposed to be ?}

 

Yes.

 

 

 

 

PS. OOF

[Sigmund Fraud]

   

 

I hope you're OK, at least the car looks repairable ?

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Hope you picked up the number plate , if found could lead to bill for roadside furniture/landscaping. But as Dr Fraud says, as long as you're OK it only looks like a door and a bit of wob.
