    Mazda RX7

    Anyone been in one of these? I've always liked the look of them, especially with the body kits on. Absolutely luscious!! My mate just bought a 2001 DC5 Integra Type R that is gorgeous and it makes me want an rx7 even more lol

    A friend of mine has one, yes it does drink fuel, he complains it's very uneconomical. And now his water seals have just failed so he has now laid it up, and is considering forgetting the ****el engine and going V8, couple of kits made in the USA allow the GM LS series of engines to be fitted

    Insurance is a killer on those, I fancied one but didn't like the premiums. That's more due to the fact i'm still under 25.They can't be that bad on fuel because it was costing me £30 for 2 days in my GTiR
