That hood trick was neat.

I was kind of annoyed that the previous owner wanted to rebuilt this car and couldn't figure out a faulty o2 sensor and swapping a vtec solenoid gasket. Then goes back to them and pays more than twice what we sold it for.

They spent 400£ just for refurbishing the 16 inches RIMs. Really worth the price? Or just to maintain an OEM look

LOL, I learned that hood trick at WTD about 6 years ago from Bilman.
Sure wish we could get those colours and those prices. LOL

He loved the car so much he paid twice as much to buy it back and apparently put it back on the market for sale.

Probably got slack from the wife for dropping another few thousand on the same car, sold it for a few hundred more than he paid to make some money back lol

I saw the RX7 episode the other day and the idiot who sold it bought it back all riced up. Was already a good car to begin with but the mechanic guy seems to know his shit or at least does his research. I can't believe I never came upon this show since it's been apparently on for over 12+ season.

That RX7 episode broke my heart. Usually on Wheeler Dealers they make really nice, clean, OEM like restored cars. They have done a few vans etc where they did over the top upgrades but always nice, until that RX7. What an eyesore.

Still love the show though.
