Re: 1985 Mazda RX7....Its Black!
New toyo 205 60 14s all round at 230 euro delivered...went to a mates work shop to get them on the rims. Did the fitting myself so no cost there. I did get him to balance them though. Still no cost so overall, as cheap but good as i could find in Holland. Went for a drive today with my 3 kids, fun all the way! Funny that most here think its loud, just with the headers/extractors and jetted carb. They would freek if it had a ported 13b in it!

Where did you buy these from Dean? I searched high and low for some 205 60 14 Toyos and couldn't find any anywhere... I wonder if your supplier would ship to the UK?

Good one Deano. Glad you’ve got it on the road again.
Back in the UK for the summer, maybe longer......

Got these, Toyo PROXES CF2 205/60 R14 88H
from
https://www.mobilemech.nl/
Prices fluctuated from 45 to 110 euros over the space of 2 months....crazy but if not in a rush, wait from them to drop.

Took my beauty out for a spin on the weekend. Great fun, small winding roads, music on, wash the dust off in the car wash (by hand of course)....loved it.
Next project, big radiator and oil cooler and lsd.....turbo (12a or 13b) is the longer term prject I have posted about in another thread. viewtopic.php?f=19&t=4587 Please feel free to add your thoughts.

Missing the rear wing when i see the closed holes in the bodyshell. The brown colour is very rare. I never saw these in germany.
When you go for turbo the elford will be the better one i think. I prefer na.
Very nice example of a Rx7fb btw.
The citroen in the rear is also yours?

Re: 1985 Mazda RX7....Its Black!
The place I have it stored for the winter, he is a Citroen collector. Some lovely cars and beautiful shapes but out of my budget. As for my car, we never got the black with grey interior in Australia so its a new combination for me, thats why I love it so much. Would love a turbo....one day!!spirit r wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 5:28 am Missing the rear wing when i see the closed holes in the bodyshell. The brown colour is very rare.

Re: 1985 Mazda RX7....Its Black!
Small update...getting my Dutch MOT done. Hopefully nothing needed as it drives good and no obvious issues. Once the APK is done, then will be putting the new aluminium radiator and oil cooler...beehive oil cooler gone which I love the look off but it has to go for the health of the engine, plus future proofing. Also have some electrical fans to add and an LSD. This should be it for this year while the parts of the turbo upgrade get acquired and saved up for.
