				Hey guys! Just joined up here as I will need some information in the future! So here's the story! I used to have a mk1 mx5 eunos, gave me lots of sideways smiles! Anyway my friend had an rx7 fb at his garage and was stood there for 5 years unluckily in a hedge near the sea so the shell is nearly all rotted away luckily I have some good mazda contacts up near me that have sussed me out a rust free shell! For an awesome price, anyway I got my fb home open up the bonnet and wallah it turns out I have an elford turbo rx7 fb! Started up first time after making a make shift fuel pump and it sounds awesome! And sounds sweet enough so my plan is to get this engine out give everything a mint up and put it in my new shell possibly repaint it ect,  I've also been told elford only converted 540 of these and there is only 22 left in the UK!  So that's another awesome reason to keep hold of this and make it into a show piece! To show of how cool is really is!

				you can download a factory workshop manual from the library section of this forum or buy a Haynes workshop manual from Ebay. 
The Elford Turbo installation and operating manual is here....

Hi there, Welcome from me.
As the self-appointed record keeper for the UK/Eire FB's, could I politely ask if you can let me have colours + reg numbers for any of the FB's.
There is a location list that I publish (in lagardly manner) on the forum......you might find one or both already in there......but if not I'll correct for the next published list if I have the details.
Cheers   codge    (Dave)
