made no difference as far as I can recall. As it was in the air at the time and took all of 5 mins to do I wasn't charged for it, so I don't feel so bad

I found the OEM oil was the problem.
Swapped to Redline and gearchange is just wonderful!
Even from cold.

Yeah, I assumed by FD3S's user name he'd had a FD3 RX7! Mine was a red UK spec model with the original twins. It was a very very rare car, being UK supplied. I loved it, had it 12 years, always felt rapid, a great chassis and stunning looks. Appreciated in value as wellLostBoy_84 wrote:Funny that we both went from an RX7 to a silver grey MC.Muckinonthesofa wrote:I had a test drive in a mk1 MX5 years ago and remember the gear change being brilliant.

Mine was a black import, really liked that car.
My friend has a red UK car with a Re-Amemiya bodykit, he's had it around 15yrs, don't think he'll ever sell it.

If I have the chance my next third car will be an imported Spirit R. I love that car. The shape of it is so sexy...Muckinonthesofa wrote:Yeah, I assumed by FD3S's user name he'd had a FD3 RX7!
