Auction: 1992 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II
Discussion
Loved mine. Full SS Roteknics exhaust got the best out of the boost control chip and dial from one of the chaps in the owners club...dial a bit superfluous, never wound it back down from max.
Great roof, solid panel over your head really imparted some rigidity back in to the shell when "up", heated glass rear screen. The roof vinyl always tore just before the drain pockets on the side letting water run down in to the double-skin floor though.
The front strut brace I fitted lasted a day...it stiffened the front but transferred unpleasant shimmying along the floppy shell toward the rear, the convertible deliberately having softer springs and taller tyres than the equivalent coupe should have informed me not to bother! Lovely chassis when left alone though, passive rear steer Weissach rip-off rear end..it was more talented than I as a driver, saved me from a horrible error of judgement at speed once, just went round the bumpy bend as I feared chewing scenery.
It was mint, thrilling and quick enough for me, thirsty of course, but I wanted the next thing and only got £2750 for it....wahhh!
Watching this one with interest...
