My last post seems to have dissapeared...??

I've just moved to Ireland, and am thinking of getting another Rx7. Are there any Irish 7 owners on the boards?

I would like info on some good mechanics/suppliers of parts if anyone knows, thx!

check out the UK site www.mazdarotaryclub.com

I think you may have the biggest chance to find Irisch owners there

Hi,

Only a handful of them here only ever seen 3 and 1 is nine, not aware of any specialists for servicing, aftermarket performance parts are easy enough to get here or in the UK. If i can help you please drop me a line.

Hi Andy,

You wouldn't happen to have the red 3rd gen. in the Blanchardstown/Corduff area would you? I've seen that one driving around here while walking to work.

Time to take it out of the garage!

Hi eddie
Thanks for the welcome and the information, yea i would love to go over and see your cars i was in New Zealand for a year last year and i had a few spins in rotarys gotta say i prefer the old school rotors like the rx2, R100 and the rx3 idealy thats what id like to buy and restore it as best i can and port the engine so it has that great BAP BAP BAP sound but i doubt its possible to get one over here so i reckon ill go a 93-94 generation 3 rx7, just wondering are they hard to insure here?
Thanks
Pete
