Yeah, that was what I remembered, hence my comment about people slagging of nerang rotary.

Need to give you a spin in my Cosmo.

550NM of torque should help you understand an auto can be a good thing too.....

Picked up our RX7 SERIES 3 today it brought back memories of yesteryear :D forgot about manual chokes , carburattors etc .

The more i drive it the more i appreciate the differences between the 7 and 8 both are classics in their own way . :D

So far we have rebuild the engine swapped the Auto to a 5 speed manual and got an extended port , the next mod will be a new exhaust

Heres a few pics .

Being a 20 year old car i am more interested in working on the mechanics suspension , brakes etc but a respray is not out of the question at a later date .
