Got the car back from the pre-mot and all was good except slight play in the front o/s wheelbearing and the hardlines to the rear brakes were corroded.
I've changed the brake pipes across the rear axle today, together with the flexible brake pipes and then fitted a set of the silicone rad hoses that Adam has sorted out http://rx7fb.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2078 as a group buy. The quality and fit is excellent...

Lovely 8-) The sort of attention to detail we'd expect from you, Ian. That bay looks good enough to eat dinner off, but I expect you might be rather annoyed at having to clean egg off everything afterwards :?

this is the cleanest that it will ever look.... once it gets out on the road, it'll be covered in dust.... I hate cleaning cars so it will never get cleaned under the bonnet again.

take all the photos you can then ian and stick in your project book for the car.
it looks great though, like you just bought it out of the dealership :)

you should send a few snaps to mazda in japan and tell em to bring the fb back :)
