PA Bored over RX7????

Read the description in this ad. I'm a little confused on how it was bored over from a 1.3 to 1.9. It must be a 13b.

Looks like a 12A given the Nikki carb and the beehive, so it probably isn't even a 13B. Probably the previous owner told him it was increaed to 1.9L and he believed him.

Maybe he got a hold of some 16x internals/housings and it is really is 1.6L?

Nice grammar and use of no periods... It's worth $800 if it really is a 1.9, lol.

I kind of want to buy the car just to see what engine modifications have been done to it. The wing also does look nice.

^ I guarantee there are none. It's likely exactly as it came from the factory, with some extra grime and probably some flaking in the housings.
