Welcome to the Rotary Club Dave Lovely cars (if I'm honest, the spoiler isn't quite my thing, but each to their own). Don't know where you are based Dave, but I would suggest you get to know the boys over at Rotechniks in Reading - there isn't much they don't know about RX-7s and rotary engines in general (more than most dealers if I'm honest) - they also have lots of shiny Racing Beat accessories for your car

everybody has said they dont like the spoiler, to be honest it is slightly on the large side but I do like that type of spoiler, I may change it in a few months.

the car used to belong to pip at WGT in Northwich... Im looking for a specialist near by though (nr nottingham) but doesnt look like there is anyone

thanks for the tip on rotechniks though, I'll have a nosey at them

That's the whole point of them! Mazda has always reserved the rotary engines for its top range / sports models. The RX-7s are not the most reliable cars, but that said, if they are looked after then you shouldn't have huge problems. Mazda has made huge improvements to the rotary engine over the years - the units in the RX-8s are amazing. Still not that great on fuel consumption, but they seemed to have sorted out the reliability issues. Expect to see hotter versions of the RX8 and possibly thr rotary engine in other sports models too...

ignore previous advice for hurley they are fekin useless retards who couldn't stick post it note to a fekin desk!! lol sorry could of put that more diplomatically but they are a blot on the rotary scene IMO & i live right near them & find driving to WGT for servicing a better & cheaper & well best all round option!!
Know the previous owner & no he will be gutted but hope you can enjoy it as much...
