The way to get a Rx-7 FB Spirit R 1984

[A7RXY]

I've just been on their site and with postage it come to just over $80, to the UK.
Does anyone know if these are available in the UK ?

I suspect anyone who sells these in the UK would import them & add their own markup.

My experience has been that next to nothing is now available for our cars on these shores.

Got a new rubber channel from mazdatrix mounted and what should i say? I am very happy with the working results of the power window.
I am read some information in the ausrotary.com how to solve the problem with sticking glasses when closing them. I found out the problem are the over 30 years old rubber channel and nothing else.

A picture of the old and damaged rubber channel.

A vid before mounting the new mazdatrix rubber channel.
The new rubber was prepared with two glue points. I just made some tests with open and shut the window before i glue the the rubber with the two points.

Yes, without the relais mod and the new holes for making new fixing points. Working like in the days in the eighties.....
Before, i have to control the steering wheel with my knee, one hand to control the window while pushing the button with the other.
Just so much more easy driving the car.

I mounted the new dual pipe RB muffler to exchange the oldstyle muffler. First i am very happy cause the mounting fitts perfectly and the new muffler was looking shiny. I started the engine with a very horrible and very loud sound. My neighbour down the street 3 houses behind tell me the window glasse where shaking, whats going on with the car. I biulding some db killer inside the rear pipes shout down the sound, but also dropped the engine power.
I informed Mazdatrix then and putting back the old style muffler to stop to get ear cancer.

Yeah that looks pretty cool there aye! Especially after the disappointment of the RB exhaust you bought

[gt_james]

Rebuildable silencer is a good idea to keep it working well!
