Well a friend of mine bought this car last year and I fell in love with it. Asked him if he ever decided to sell it I wanted first refusal rights. Well he decided to sell it :mrgreen:
So here it is, 37,000 miles, 100% rust free. It has had one repaint in its life at some point but does not appear to have been in any accidents. My friend added the polished wheels during his ownership, the original alloys were a little pitted looking and painted a questionable gold color. I dont plan on doing much to it right away, I do have some new tires in a more proper 185 tread width though and I may do a few easily reversible bolt on things, suspension, exhuast etc. If any one could school me on the trim levels of these cars that would be nice. I know it cam with alloys, glass moonroof, stereo, cloth interior, power mirrors, crank windows and drum brakes...
Enough rambling, on with the pics :tu:


Damn rain!











Thanks to my friend Andrew for the photos. Link to the rest here.. /
More to follow when the weather cooperates and the new tires are on :tu:

 

Very Noice

I like the RWL tires

 

Very nice purchase. A true survivor. Keep it stock and pick up another one cheap and mod the hell out of that one. Mind if I ask what you paid for it?

 

I would never do anything beyond simple bolt ons to make it more enjoyable, I am a true believer in keeping the nice ones stock trust me, my '71 NSU is an all original 45k survivor and my '68 Camaro is an original paint car, but it so hard not to swap out a couple of parts that can be easily reversed back to stock to make the car that much more enjoyable. Plus I dont have any more room for another one!
Besides, my father has an '84 GSL in the same color with 19k on it and mine will never be as showroom as his!

 

wow im in love with that car what did you pay for it???? beautiful

 

beautiful car!! is it an S model with the optional alloys? more pics more pics!!!

 

Very nice! I'm a sucker for black cars

 

sweet.......but with the black you cant really see the lines......but its your car.....and its NICE!

 

I disagree I have always thought black was one of the best colors for a first gen, and you are right, haha, it is my car, and mazda painted it black, not me Actually its not quite a straight black, it has a light metallic in it and in the right light its amazing.

 

you'll have to post pics of that.............

 

the color is called Sparkling Black Metallic. the color code is H1 and was the only black avalable on the RX-7 from 83-85

 

Super clean! Nice pick up!

 

The sun poked out here for a few mins so took it out for a quick blast with my friend Andrew and his monster '90 Talon TSi, very quick car! To much fun driving to take to many pics, maybe the next time the sun shows its face..... Quick shots sharring the spotlight with the TSi.....

 

not seeing the pics...

 

What a beauty! Congrats!

+1 for the RWL BFGs!

How's the interior look?

 

Hmmmm, lets try that again......





RWL's are going away, they are period correct yes but they are not my taste. Plus they are WIDE, and with non-power steering its a bit of a bear at low speeds. Full set of Sumitomos going on next week.
Interior is nice, seats, dash and carpet are mint. Looking for a shifter boot, ****, and e-brake handle as they are all sun damaged by the glass roof.

any more current pics of the car?

 

Good find! Keep that girl stock, and enjoy it the way its supposed to be.

 

Come on...at least put an RB header and SP exhaust on that baby.....Sterling Carb and some Panasports and it's done!!

Really nice car....I love black!!

 

Also, I have the shifter boot and other parts you need (in black though).. But come take a look and snag what you want for free.

 

put either some panasports or the waffles on the car. i think that would make it look much nicer

 

Good eye! Correct on all three locations! Look forward to some cruising with you in your FB as well.

Well, the muffler is shot, presumably from sitting for so long and the guts of it rattle around from time to time, so it will be getting a RB muffler at least. And as for wheels.., I have a connection to Braid wheels in Spain, and I am looking into getting some 13X7 three piece four spokes made up to fit the car. Just got a new set of there rally wheels made for my Mitsu Mirage Rally-X car and I am thrilled with them.

 

What kind of rims are those? and how nuch are they?

 

Thanks to my friend Andrew here are some action shots from this past weeks autocross.....











Completly outclassed in E-stock with Miata'a on Hoosiers. Class winner of the day was a first gen Miata with 14 inch slicks. He was running 50.1 sec laps and I was running 56.1 with old dry rotted BFG radial T/A's. Better tires will help, but I will prob not run slicks on the car.
