nice car mate and good pics, congrats to your sister.
keep that pic of yourself beside the car as you can look back when you're older
and have good memories of your youth and driving your fb, especially when you
hit 40 :cry:

:lol:

Hey, wotcher and sorry, somehow we managed to avoid crossing paths at the Gathering :? Car looks great, and how cool to have an RX-7 at your age :jealous :lol:

Core plugs (freeze plugs in American) are little metal discs that are inserted in strategic internal webs in the engine structure. The idea is they are a designed-in weak point, so should your coolant freeze (for example) or the crankcase massively pressurise then the core plug will deform or blow out rather than the actual engine shattering.

The dark picture was at twotwenty, the others were at a meet at strensham services. It would be good to get them both together at a meet Jesse :)
I don't think it's mint at all, the pictures must be making it look a bit prettier :lol:

so shiny bits came.

I'll either have to pull the arches or get different wheels in different offsets.
