Its been great with the starlet, I havent regretted pouring money and sweat into the Glanz. However I also havent regretted selling up as I now own an Rx7, a dream car of mine. This one's not your usual rex either, there are only 8 of its kind in the world, this is believed to be the only one in the uk, tuned by the infamous Re Amemiya in Japan. Still can't believe its mine! :p

Awesome dude.

Love these cars. This gonna be just for weekends? Quite expensive to run arnt they?

Enjoy mate :)

This is my daily mate :) They arent too bad as long as you dont mind the fuel consumption! (15-20mpg)

nice car matey any pics of the engine? what bhp is it?

Ah thats something I forgot to get snaps of! Will get some up later :) Its 318@ the fly on 0.8 bar I believe but I need to get that double checked. Not to shabby for a car that weights 1260 kg!

Looks like its got Porche 911 head lights! Very nice looking car dude.

It does indeed, genuine 993 ones! They've been cleverly mounted with the stock porsche brackets.

Like I said on uksc, its a love hate thing, I personally love it, such an unusual look (tvr meets porsche) but it looks like it came off a production line at the same time.

I love RX7's. Not to keen on this one. Im sure you'll have a blast though!

If i had the money - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1109864.htm

Actually, the more i look at it the more i like it..

Yeh man, I saw that one while looking around and was tempted to save up for it as the spec is up near the top of the rx world, but I prefer the look of mine, feels less street racer and more, old sports car come sunday drive in the country if you get my drift. :haha:

Yeh I cringe when I look back at getting an S3 or TT as nice as they are as I would have missed out on this!

I actually bought the rex before the glanz was sold but one of my good mates in Bristol now owns it, hes very happy indeed :)

Will let you know next time im in london bro!
