I was chatting with my mate's fiancé, who's Russian, last night. She's going to run through my route with me and give me tips on where best to stop, best places to avoid and where could be stints with limited fuel etc. which will be super helpful.
There's a lake along the route she was like...
I now own a 1993 RX7 with 63k KM (until I add 14k to it lol) no accidents, fresh paint, cusco LSD, recent oil and fuel pump and now one new owner!
Better pop over to Japan to go see my new purchase and get the rebuild underway!
I know they do the hipermax r and the s, I think it's the S that is supposed to be more road and comfort? I think it must be those!
Good insight, though! Thanks, it's appreciated as I have zero JDM experience :cry:
Let's see how it all goes and what I can persuade them to give me haha...
Had my first 1:1 yesterday since the news of my departure and my boss was talking documentation and sorting out the confluence in a way that it was best places bla bla which was my task to get done. I did it in 5mins while she was talking.
Then she asked if I wanted to take on more work and I...
Prices are pretty high at the moment, but considering this is accident free and also is a 1993 which is important for registration in France as it has to be pre 1995 to qualify for the 30yr rule of being a "cherished / show car" which means it won't have to do any of the checks a normal car...
Going to attempt to (not me, personally) bid on this one tonight. Ive had a few come up as options but this is a low mileage (65k km) no accident car with a poorly engine. Which is perfect. I've lined up a rebuild, so that's not an issue. Bidding starts tomorrow. Lets see what she goes for...
This is also the trap they put you in, so you keep pushing on for years and years working for utter bells, because you feel if you don't you're doomed.
I'm used to it to be honest! :D
The internet is a wonderful place :cry: it is what it is though, I'm the one doing this **** and they're sat doing whatever they want, which isn't what I'm doing so :p
I'm glad you have done so much research into this trip and not just sat listening to the news.

Try and find some time to get out in the fresh air. The sun, grass, nature. It will help with some grounded and clearing your mind. Look after yourself my dude!
Spoke to them today and they were so nice and really excited about the series. Said they'd be honored to work with me on the project and I was like seriously WTF is happening? I was there, little old me going, it's a dream to be able to buy an RX7 these days, it's also a dream to drive it back...
