Both colours are really good Nik :D and it does help when you have an example is such excellent condition too.
Did Mazda produce the RX7 in either of these colours?

Loving the moody lighting and setting, nothing quite as nice as a super tidy unmolested Series 3. What's the actual color? I can't quite make it out although it's probably just these damn eyes LOL

Lol, won't be is such great condition if I keep driving the damn thing in winter :? I don't think they even use road salt round here any more, they just chuck undiluted sulphuric acid down by the carboy :evil:

But yeah, at the moment it's Tender Blue lol. I keep wondering, was it named "tender" as in soft and loveable, "tender" as in hurts when you press on it, or "tender" as in the bit behind a locomotive that holds coal? Answers on a postcard to.....

The quest for righteous JDM y0 mad tyte wheelage continues

eBay suckered me in again, I've no willpower :oops:. Took a bit of a punt on a pair of wheels. Unknown offset and alleged to be seven inch wide, may be a total disaster :roll: Might be time to reach for the arch roller lol. Hopefully not...

...mind you, genuine Watanabes, it must be fate :D Mmmm, floaty light 8-) Pics to follow, if the fitment isn't so impossible and/or embarassing lol

Lol. I think the problem is that I'll need minus 1.25" spacers, Marc, but thanks for the offer ;) Dunno, might be OK. From the pics they don't look too dished so the offset might not be insanely manly and it'll be fine. Can always go for the VeeDub look of silly stretch on the tyres lol. Just a few days of sweaty palms waiting for a courier to arrive now and we'll find out :(
