I went to pick the car up with guy, engine does seem sound, car pulled really well with the uprated cam i was impressed.

Hopefully guy it will be on the road longer than the rx 7 was and no more lamp posts will get in your way :cooter:

so I hear, but never heard of anyone actually weighing one. Maybe when it comes to it I'll end up with something less OE, but I'm wanting something inconspicuous (I nearly bought a set of 15" steels). I'm still not 100% on 13", 14", or 15", but I think the quality of the tyres will swing the 15s.

Just something on the back burner Ilker, nothing for you to concern yourself over ;)

Im thinking of giving them some love when I get a chance, but knowing me, if I did that, i'd want to keep them.

I know some people enjoy tarting up wheels, I just find it soul destroying. Your rims look like a good basis to work from, some are more of a resurrection than a restoration.

If you chuck them down my way i will refurb them, can do any colour, sort out any scuff's etc, providing the wheel aint buckled...

One has already had some tarting up with polishing it. more than likely keep with that pattern unless I get a reasonable offer for them.

There is no chunks out of them which is great, its just the paint all pealing off.
