New FTO owner...

Postby mcgon1979 » Mon Apr 02, 2007 10:00 pm

Hi all,

Introduced to the board by a friend with an RX7 who knew some members here...

I bought a 1999 GPvR aero spec. And its going great for me so far. Car is immaculate and bought straight from an importer. pretty standard apart from tien springs and exhaust etc.

Welcome!

Tidy looking model, especially in the engine bay! Seriously clean in there! Might want to turn your oil cap the right way up though... :wink:

haha... the car don't live there thankfully, thats just my mates tyre garage. I was getting tyres swapped as it came in from japan with ICE gaurd snow tyres... not good at all for these roads :lol:

yeah, I dunno what they clean the engines with? anyone any ideas? wd40? STP son of a biaaatch? it was certainly spanking. After a week on the M50 I can already see a nice little residue of dust appearing. might try and keep her clean though. give her an ould rub every week or two :)
