Hi lads my name is Kian Brugman. I'm 18 and a student in my final year of secondary school (leaving cert year, high school some of you might call it???)
I recently acquired number 7 on my dream car list, I picked it up 3 weeks ago, I would have posted sooner, But I have been stupid busy with my mock exams which I'm in the middle of at the moment. I've been going through the forum trying to learn as much as I could about these cars for a while now.

I bought a 1982 s2 with a 12a, very original (apart from the colour) rust free car. I worked 3 crappy jobs and did'nt sleep much over holidays so I could afford it and get my full license I've been obsessed with getting a rotary since my dad bought an RX-8 a year ago, so thats when I decided I had to have an FB It's very rare car, even rarer in Ireland, my one is the first one I've ever seen.

How do I add photos? I'll throw some up! I know there's something about photobucket, I've pictures uploaded to that, do I just copy and paste links?

Hi Kian, yes copy and paste the img codes, looking forward to some pics.

Nice one I got mine when I was 18 also! was my second car. I would suggest getting photobucket to upload photos. You just have to drag and drop a photo to photobucket then copy the IMG link to your post

find the picture you want to upload, then to the right hand side of the picture there's a share links bar. just left click on the text next to image, then paste it to your post.

Sorry, I could'nt access the forum for a little while, good to be back sweet, thanks dude this is my second car as well! my friends have civics and imprezas etc.. its nice to have something different and unique hope the links work.

















Is it sad that I've named the car? I called it Reva (pronounced Ray-va), it means fox in Norwegian

It's always satisfying watching an original FB in the street. Congrats mate!!!! Enjoy it and never sell it!!!!

Thanks man I don't plan on selling it! I plan on keeping it as original as possible (aside from the fact it use to be gold,previous owner sprayed it)
If I do anything to it, it'll be to modernise a little, things like a better carb, better suspension and I think that's all I want to do when funds allow. Anything else like wheels I've been considering, but I love the look of the original ones. If I do mod it it'll be little things that are easy to remove and put back to original state, I have been considering RX-8 seats, but thats because my seat brackets and frames are'nt in great nick
But first I need a few small issues tended to and a few parts

Its beautiful. Would have looked great in the original gold, but there's nothing wrong with the red either. Great fun little cars, especially once you've done the carb/exhaust/suspension so its running as strong as it should be and handling the way you like. Enjoy!

The seat brackets i think are a common issue on these, it would be good if someone in the know pipes in with a solution. I had to squeeze the drivers side rails a bit tighter on mine in a vice once to pass roadworthy, but it was a temporary fix at best, now i dont even think about it lol! I really like the original seats though, so i might look into adapting a different set of rails in?

Great looking car Kian, I love the colour it suits it very well.
Keep us posted with your mods and updates

Hey Kian,
