Very nice..
Go the FC's.
What month was it build?

[WRCjosh]

may 1989 is the build date, just found out 5 mins ago... i was under the impression it was february.. POO haha.

[AndyMac]

I'm watching Morgs...

[suburban]

mmm that is rather tasty

[B0BB0]

yes, quite a clean ride

[Morgs]

I'm watching Morgs...

Buy one Andy... at this rate i'll have one before you do :D

[WRCjosh]

Bit of a fan of the FC's morgs? Theres some clean ones comin through on risbeys list quite frequently, you bin checkin em out?

[tomj]

thats got some class

[d0p3y]

Nice
Looks alot like mine. I'd be careful with that boost controller though - if the car doesn't have a fuel cut defender on it chances are it's running like complete shit...

[WRCjosh]

True, thanks for the advice, will watch it when it arrives. Dont tell me you want that GP sports kit too mate? We'll have two identical fc's running round the place. Horniest kit ever created!
and cheers tom
josh

[d0p3y]

hahaha nah i'm leaving stock bodywork with a small front lip, putting 17" buddclub p1's.
don't want to turn it into too much of a standout thieve meat car...

[WRCjosh]

dude im chattin to from performance forums, just imported a 89 rx7, gets it in january, its white, greddy turbo kit, roll cage etc etc. Neways , its has white 18 inch buddy clubs too, they look the bizzzz!

Mine will be stock too for a little while, gp sports id imagine will be super expensive, i have my heart set on some racing hart 17s, what do u think??? Or something more like whats on this FD

[SmItLeR]

fk yeh - thats v.nice dude - what plates u getting?

[WRCjosh]

Ah chris you fat whore! Start your own goddamn thread! Or ill steal ya turbo.. hmm, and your buddy clubs. Hahah
take it easy man
josh

[The Walrus]

Why does everyone assume that because you have a car, that you're going to get plates for it?

I'm getting DVS4U2NVMY13B4U2C

[WRCjosh]

lol youll fit in perfectly with the lebbos and their full sick 2nv lancers.
Nar one day we need to organize a trans-nullaboor-fc cruise and show these piston pushers how its really done ;)

[cas]

You FC boys should come along to one of the Rotorheads cruises sometime (Perth)

[D1 RX7], thats on my shopping list, I have an S1 atm.

How hard/easy is it to import one from Japan these days?

[WRCjosh]

Yeah as soon as mine rocks up i cant wait to get together with all the perth rotor boys. good ole s1, little rockets with a 13bt...
From the time i paid geoff to find my car, it took about 3 weeks and i found mine. Within the next 2 days it was paid for and on the way to the storage yard... geoff makes it super easy and turned out to be a painfree experience, id reccomend him to anyone, as would chris (the walrus).. who by the way is from sydney so i dont think ull be seeing much of his car over here... (unfortunatly).
josh

[Verd1ct]

i've seen a couple of convertable ones in perth, look rather nice!

[The Walrus]

meh to your convertibles.

I think they look rather silly from behind without a roof.

[WRCjosh]

I personally think they look silly from all angles

[The Walrus]

I think you look silly.

[WRCjosh]

see now youve gone an done it, youve hurt my feelings now chris. Pass the tissues. ahha. oyeah and by the way, lookin at your avatar, that rear wiper looks so out of place, are u allowed to remove em or is that yellowable? I wanna ditch mine

[The Walrus]

I don't know about the legalities, but you'd be stupid to remove it.

Thats like removing your front brake rotors, because you just dont think they look any good.

WOOHOO, go-kart brake style.

[McLOVIN]

It's nothing like removing front brake rotors because you don't think they look any good.

[rudeboy]

that FC looks great.

[tomj]

I think you all (asides from rudeboy) have a glass of coke and shut the fuck up.

relax - its a awesome FC end of story.

[McLOVIN]

Such language Tom. I'm truly shocked.

[dorisaur]

Trial/D1rx7 this is such a sweet FC dude and if you ever want to trade for a S13 hit me up!

[WRCjosh]

lol tom/wlfpac!
cheers jack, plonk an rb26 in ya silvia and ill think about it =) Nar for future reference, the FC will be for sale in 2007.... FD's are eliligable for 15 year rule =) muhahua

Josh weve been waiting long enough, wheres the landed shots ?? keep us updated u animal

[WRCjosh]

http://www.arach.net.au/~lai/junk/rx3.jpg

[doriae86]

i really like those rims on the car

what was the condition like when it landed ie was it filthy from storage etc ?

[WRCjosh]

here ya go ;)

[WRCjosh]

wasnt bad condition aye... not much dirt, took me an hour to wash it. i washed it again like 2 days after now its shmick. started first go, no smoke nothing. stoked.

[doriae86]

congrats good work
mean s5

can the ding king to the dents forklift stains ?

[SikS4]

that looks fuckin shmik
how much u pay all up?? if u dont mind me asking

[WRCjosh]

i suspect about 10ish on the road.

[RooF]

Nice work mate looks good :) worth the wait eh

Hey I thought cages were supposed to be mandrel bends? that bent up steel dont look right, all cages I seen have pretty clean, straight joins etc.. not knocking Im just asking the question etc..

Anyone taking bets for when its gona blow up?

:P

[Cake]

the fc's lookin good josh, the rims suit it well

i think the cage is mandrel bent, the crease you can see kris is just the foam covering

[doriae86]

i thought it woulda been blown already. All bets off as far as im concerned

[B0BB0]

haha,, blown or crashed ....

when i saw him facing the curb last night, i almost had a tear in my eye, but he corrected so all good :p

[hondaboy]

congrats bro
make sure u take me for a spin soon!

[WRCjosh]

hahahah you like that did ya bobbo. The diff is magic aye, no matter how out of shape you are, you can always bring it back...

Kris, the cage is covered in this killer layer of thin foam, and its all bolted up, not welded, so its probably the foam your seeing.

it wont blow up you fuckers, nor will it be crashed, ahha touch wood.

[dorisaur]

woooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooo

Fc destroys all of you

[The Walrus]

I reckon it would look better if it was white, and had a set of P1's on it.

I also think it would go faster if it had a T04R on it.

Brides are shit, get recaros. :)

[WRCjosh]

nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

whod wanna look like some bum from sydney that thinks nautica is high fashion

[The Walrus]

HAH

I never mentioned anything about fashion mate, I just mentioned that I look better than you.

[WRCjosh]

jealousy

[TJ]

u two need a room,

congrats on a really nice car bro .. been a long wait.

[hondaboy]

spotted that FC driving on canning hwy today without plates :)
nice one driving passed the pig on the bike josh!

[[SPESHAL]]

Quite an impressive car. Had a run against my WRX that is even with an STi that has done a 13.6, and the RX7 pulled on me. Not bad for 0.6 bar....

[[ant]]

i took my rear wiper off my DR30 ... looks okay without it looks wierd at first coz u got this naked thread there .. but grows on u and looks normal eventualy haha looks beter too except up close pple r like wtf wheres ur wiper? hahah

but itll come off, then have a plasticy like dust cover thing over the mechanism, dont leave that and think itll stay coz itll blow away like mine did! looks wierder then haha still better i think though.

its not like removing brakes ... u can still see okay the wiper doesnt do alot i didnt realy use mine anyway. the water just sorta drains down eventually wen the rain gets heavy enough u can still see out of the rear fine.

[WRCjosh]

yeah im glad the wiper was gone when i bought it... I would of ripped it off anyway. looks shit.

[Shaolin242]

both are beautiful RX7s man....that white one is soooo fucking horn!
