    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

    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

    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.

    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.
