Really like this car given me a lot of ideas for when i buy one =D although there is one thing i really dislike about the car... without the hello kitty sticker this car would be perfect =D

Very nice rep.

Hi,

just out of curiosity how much do you think it would cost to have a whole car sprayed matte black? Do you think it would be cheaper to DIY, and how hard is it? (going for a matte black car with bright/lime green rims, green interior etc.)

All comments welcome good and bad =)

Welcome =) pics of you 71's?

To be honest mate i was looking to do the same thing, but i am now looking to get a kp60 (for drifting), SR, or even an ep80 would be nice. Just do a few exterior mods for the first year or so and then start with turbos etc. Unless you have 8+ grand to spend on insurance... it is not about what cars you can drive it is all about money tbh. I have driven a fully modified rx7 on provisional and i learned clutch control in a viper, i still would not want a ridiculous car as my first one.

The first car is starting to grow on me, bet the pic does not do it justice, looks savage.

Yeah if a cheap sr pops up will definately consider one of them =) or even an old rwd kp then i can join the drifting scene xD But would be nice if i can find a ep80.

Welcome get sum pics up =)

Think there was some one on here who paid £7000 @ 17!!!!

how old are you mate? and if it was first car how much were you paying then?

Hmmm if anyone knows of someone selling an 80 it would be an awesome help =) Also has anyone been insured on an 82 as a first car? 17yo and in england?

Have any good places to look for these cars? And will look in to it =D

Luke who did you go with for the first year and did you have anything fitted? Alarms etc?

I do like those ep80's got my eyes set on a starlet at the moment. Ashame my brother doesn't aprove, he seems to think i should get an old mini or something simular Can someone give me some links to decent places to search for these cars (for sale) i am finding it extremely difficult at the moment.

Hi Phill, it was my sence of humor kicking in :L sorry for any misunderstanding.

I was starting to like this forum before i saw this thread ;) . If you look deeply in to nostrodamus (however it is spelt) and the pictures that he drew they could be interperated in millions of different ways... and as for the mayan calander they most probably got bored of adding on days, it is not like they could have gone on forever.

Hmm try independant brokers they seem to be more reasonable (adrian flux if any of you live near MK, england)

Also if anyone is in to old mercs we used to drift one a while back if you want some pics.

EDIT - are the sportif and sr practically the same?

Yeah its awesome only been in it a few times as he is always busy with work and that, but it is awesome when i do get too. Unfortunatly the only one that is mot'd at the moment is the red rx7... but hopefully when the weather warms up i will get to tag along and possibly learn to drift =)

Few drifting pics - 2 wheels xD

Just for luke... Rims it has on at the moment i think.

Looking at SR's at the moment with a tracker fitted (cant drive from 11pm-6am) i am getting quotes from a local insurance place for one and a half grand =D Now i just need to get a job.

Tramp Drifting Car just for a laugh

Other rx7 (without carbon bonnet) and Tramp Drifter before becoming trampdrifter.

Other Rx7 (with Carbon Bonnet)

His Pride And Joy

Not sure if he wants them up but what the hell xD

Can i have the full model name and year please xD And do you think it would pull away from a 2003 1.6 focus zetec? Cheers mate, and i hear that independant insurance companys are sometimes the way to go.

EDIT - What does N/A mean like non turbo?

Hi, i am 17 learning to drive. I found out about starlets last year at a jap show (brother owns a two rx7's and a viper GTS). I was wondering what model would be the most sensible to buy with insurance costs and speed in mind as i wish to race at local tracks. (From northants).
