KevinThackray’s 1999 Mazda RX-7

This is my 1999 Mazda RX-7 Type RB-S in Innocent Blue Mica(20P). Produced for the Japanese market this car was registered in the UK on 3rd December 1999 and I became the owner on 23rd December 1999 when it had less than 100 miles on the clock. As at August 2010 it has done 30,000 miles.I purchased the car from T W White, it has the rear spoiler from a 1999 Type RB. The wheels are Mazda/BBS Spirit R alloys in silver supplied by RE:Worx in 2004.

The car has the following performance modifications:Apexi Power FC programmable ECU with Commander supplied by sensetuning Blitz Spec S boost controller supplied by RE:Worx FEED downpipe supplied by RE:Worx Racing Beat catback dual tip supplied by RotechniksThe car was mapped by RE:Worx in 2004 at CPL Racing on a Dyno Dynamics rolling road and produces 253bhp at the wheels, assuming an 18% transmission loss this equates to 308bhp at the flywheel.In 2003, before any modifications, it produced 217bhp at the wheels at G-Force Motorsport. This is consistent with Mazda's rating of 265bhp at the flywheel for this particular model.

Since the above picture of the engine bay I have replaced the plastic Air Separator Tank (AST) with an alloy one from Sard and added a Cusco strut brace.I have added Defi controller and gauges supplied by Nitosport to monitor boost, water temp & oil temp, the gauges are installed in a Flyrx7 triple gauge pod.
