really really nice looking car, think it would look better with c63 style alloys though, and without that badge on the rear ;)
 
Very clean! Post some more pics/info on the Rx-7 sometime.

Well i have wondered about it, as it has the amg interior, suspension, wheels, lights, steering wheel, body styling etc but not the engine, even the v5 calls it an amg but unfortunately doesnt have the engine, but if i want to go fast (faster than a c63 i might add) i have always got rexy, but hey my merc is cheap to insure, tax, its comfy and its good on fuel and it looks cool as **** :)
 
The bent railing at the front of your house has my OCD twitching.

That was 1 of my mates reversing his trailer in when he was changing my bathroom, i dont really notice it now tbh, how does the mad scientist solar panel that keeps my car battery topped up on the roof of my shed affect you? :D

How is it living with a rotary? How much oil does it drink?

It doesnt drink much at all tbh, drive down to london and back from aberdeen and you will used 400ml of oil, its petrol it likes, £90 to fill and normal town driving you will get 120-130 miles to a tank, soon as you start booting it that will come down to 80 miles to a tank, maybe a bit less

Ok posted some pics for you, some of the pics arent right up to date, i dont have totally recent engine bay pics as its a bit different to whats pictured, this is the front thats on it now, this was it on display at the scottish car show this year
 
Very impressive! Thanks for posting the pics. :)
That's one of the most cleanest/modified I've seen.
 
You've got to really love the RX's to want to keep one!! I had one as I always wanted one as a lad. I knew the problems that come with owning one, It was as expected, flooding issues, throttle position sensors constantly giving grief etc, etc BUT the fuel bills!! I was regularly seeing between 9 - 13 MPG! I used to clock up some mileage too with taking it to Lemans, Scotland etc and soon went through a set of rotor tips. Serious enthusiasts and weekend weapon I reckon.

Merc looks lovely, as someone else said, a set of C63 alloys and it'll be sorted.

Thanks :) i love my rexy im still on the original engine but by god its thirsty but i dont look at mpg in it i look at smg :) (smiles per gallon) as soon as you get into in you know your getting into something a bit special and by god it has character and holy crap its fast! There isint much on the road that goes like it or even looks like it!
