so clean....

Might need this

Its hard to argue with a Mazda transmission, the availability and adaptability... After reading up on the Honda K, it too appears to be a very adaptable and sporting engine. It comes down to how much support there is for the components. The K is very popular now, not lacking anything.

My first experience in a 7 was in Peter Fawcett's orange S4 in Dallas. I was working at an inspection & oil change garage when Peter's son Andrew pulled in for a sticker. I got to take it for the required brake test drive. I had to fail it on a faulty turn signal, so he had to come back. On the return, Peter brought the car and he graciously invited me to come by the house to see the Loti collection. The S4 is now in the hands of Andrew's wife, a regular at Texas Motorsport Ranch, I believe.

Hey, why is the air scoop on the left?

Those wheels are awesome

will want to separate the shell from the frame to inspect for rust. ground up rustoration.

The RX7 GSL is a favorite

I had that car by Anson. S2 1500 with Caterham paint, oversized Minilites, BDR seats, functional steering, live axle. You were lucky to find one with the windscreen fitted properly. They claimed to be 1:18 scale but the Ansons were much larger than the Kyoshos, which were more accurate. The Anson is probably the largest 7 diecast available besides the Kyosho 1:12 BDR, which isn't Diecast but real aluminum panels attached to a plastic space frame. I had to remove my Anson's seats and steering wheel and over spray them in black, an obvious detail Im surprised the diorama build omitted. Plenty of these cars on Ebay

And, whis practical about a 7?

I call photoshop on this. Nobody can pour like that, even when looking, which she isn't. But who cares about that?

Lucas L516? upgrade the plinths too https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151686760506

@Croc Can you expand on "install the captive nut brackets for the windscreen" please? @Saudio Are you planning to have the 7 built in the USA by a specialist (I recommend), or have Cat ship a built car?

Pics!

Is it even edible wheat? or an industrial grain like ethanol corn? My understanding is we don't grow food for Americans here anymore. All imported or exported.

I had only piggybacked on @Smithengineered post with the immobilizer pictures and I am pretty sure the keys and ignition switch are a Morris Mini or other vintage BL. Identical to my keys and I don't have an immobilizer. But happy to help anyway.

Now that I've read the listing, too many grammatical and technical errors. Writer doesn't speak Sevenish.

My heater is not the earlier Xflow type. It is the kind that draws through the bonnet top.

Hi, Many moons ago, on a mailing list or bulletin board far, far away, someone made this: Can anyone recall who had this done and get a contact? Please PM me with any phone numbers or email address.

I recommend removing the pedal box cover to allow it to vent. I found my frame had rusted from condensation, no doubt from that gathered up in the box and trickled fown to the frame. But then, I had stored my car for years in humid environments.

water injection is not a new thing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_injection_(engine)

You are a medical doctor?

@John B The website doesn't give the guage housing diameter. Did you have to enlarge the dash hole?

AFAIK, Its never been used. The foam sealing has started to crumble, but that's expected with age and easily replaceable with better sealing. $50 or something I can use.
