Are you in Singapore too?

HI-RES · 23-04-2004, 04:12 PM

did you only want a late model car?

I know of a guy selling a 93 crx turbo, full leather interior, it is gorgeous but he's asking about 24k.

I also saw a series 5 rx-7 convertible for sale today around 16k.
Were rx7s (pre series 7) sold locally? A friend told me they were, which would make parts/insurance alot better to deal with. I want one

It sucks arse. And it sucks it hard.

Seriously - the body is a flimsy twisty thing with no concept of rigidity. The steering is nasty, kickback <> road feel

etc etc etc

Erm.. question.. Did any RX7 come as a convertable from the factory? Or was it an aftermarket modification? To be totally honest.. I've never seen a convertable RX7 in any series so this strikes me as some what unusual..

Oh.. BTW.,.. Congrats Tina.. Looking forward to seeing what it is.

Suuuuuuure its Carbon Fibre :wink:

It may look that way, and you can tell you're 'other' friends that.

Damn sexy car all the same! can't wait for a ride in it! :twisted:

BTW: just happened to be driving past the dealerships today and saw Kitty and Aaron looking so stopped to say hi a gawk :shock:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Cosmo Dude · 23-04-2004, 07:14 PM

Adam, series IV and V came optional with a convertable from the factoy. Don't see many as they are 2 seater not the 2+2.

Thanks everyone, I am so excited!!!

I have just been emptying the Astina, and will admit to a small tear in the eye..... damn I loved the Astina, but I will also love the Miata!!!

Andy ~ the clear side indicators are yours, we even got you the amber bulbs...

Now if any BA owners in Canberra want a Whiteline rear swaybar, you have until 11am tomorrow to complete the swap :twisted:

Also have a dashmat and a K&N panel filter if anyone is quick enough.....

Next step is the license plates, black plates of course

YKI-77Y ~ kitty?
YUM-30W ~ you meow
YIM-30W ~ why I meow
YMM-30W ~ why mmeow
YMI-47A ~ why miata

ideas?

Change your name by depole (sp?) and get KKS as your initials then you can have a cool three letter plate like me! 8)
