Vyv - my series 3

[BO0557]

Yeh just wanted a set more like than the below.. i guess you could trim yours up so its not covering over the arch ..



Looking at yours are the rears more rounded??? the fronts almost look like they are stretched..

[Marc S]

they're a bit stretched...but not as out of shape as those ones in the other pic

Took a couple of pics at the hotel, the evening before Japfest...






before I set off, I fitted some modified rear spats, they do the job






I also noticed this today...special RX7 edition polishing pad

[Marc S]

Massive thanks to Ian for spotting, and posting this...I wanted to stick it here so I keep the pics

praise for your car Marc....

Sticking with mazda’s, I stumbled across something else that was a bit unique and i expected to see more of, this was an original sa22c first gen RX-7. It was completely immaculate and spotless for a car thats well over 25 years old now!

VYV needs an agent now I'll find Max Clifford's number for you Marc. Well done, you must be very proud.

Went to Shoreham Airport last night for the weekly Tuning Society meet...and Vyv was very well received - one guy said he had never seen one in the flesh!

I had given the engine bay a quick clean at the weekend, nothing too special, just wanted to lose some of the old oil that had built up from my leaking oil cooler and OMP...and I was happy to see no fresh oil anywhere after the journey, and not a drop underneath...
So, that's the front end oil tight at last - just the seeping clutch slave cylinder and diff to sort out now

What's this "tuning society meet" of which you speak, Marc? Shoreham Airport's only five miles up the road from me, and I've never heard of it

A friend of mine has bought an RX8...and replaced his gearknob with a D1 spec one...which left his original one needing a new home



Today also saw some proper work...I'd had a little bit of rubbing on the first outing with the wider wheels, so I decided to take the arch lips off, and roll the rear arches. I'll re-fit the lips next weekend

Oooh, is that one of those lighty-uppy RX-8 gearknobs? I've actually no idea what practical use a gearknob that lights up actually is, but I'm sure they must be cooler than any other kind

Those arch rollers are excellent, I was ****ing bricks when I took one to the FD but it was so easy to use and with a bit of heat gun carefully applied I was well impressed by the result. Nice to find a tool that does exactly what it says on the tin for a change
