I can't say because I have no idea. After it was all said and done, my brother moved out to CO. and now he just wants to sell it. An air to air intercooler was added to the mix and now it just sits.

 

Very cool car. No one could see that go by without a lot of WTFWT

Did you stay with the stock 79 Rad and oil cooler setup ? If so, how were your running temps ?

 

I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed.

That is the most beautiful wide-body SA I have EVER seen.

If I had the cash, I would be on that like white on rice..

If you don't mind, I would like some additional details/pics of the 2nd Gen? Headlight conversion. I 've only see that in Japanese pics.

I really like the "built-in" driving lights on the bumper.

Also, what Vents are those?

Thanks.

 

simply beautiful.....

 

wow man, really unfortunate to hear that it just sits. someone should be out beating the **** out of that thing on the track!! I wish i could do that to my own '85 FB! (unfortunately I have to sell too)

 

Where do you guys have listed an or how much are you asking I am intrested

 

cool car

 

Thank you for the comments. It was a fun build, but I didn't supply the funds, lol. I was the workhorse for most of it.
Yes, it surprisingly is still running the factory radiator and oil cooler. Last I remember, my brother told me that the oil temps were running a little high but not dangerous and coolant temps weren't necessarily a problem (yet?) The headlight conversion and the bumper were on the car when we picked it up. I asked about the headlights but the previous owner didn't know unfortunately. When the lights were out, I looked it over carefully but didn't see any markings of any sort. It was mostly a neatly boxed complete bracket that bolted onto the existing "face", but was tilted so that the whole assembly would sit lower and the headlight would face toward the sky if the headlights buckets were fully up. Headlights do not flip the same as factory though. In the pictures, you can see where they come to rest when down. I moved the armatures around to do this. There were also 2 plates - 1 on each side. It's a rather simple conversion really! Hella headlights too. The vents, I am not too sure about. My brother got those a few years back and cut holes in the hood and installed them for functionality to help get rid of some of the underhood heat. It all kind of came to a halt when we hit a wall realizing what really needed to be done and no longer having the ambition for spending more money on it yet again (for the thousandth time, lol). For peace of mind when driving further away or on the track, the drivetrain should be totally redone. It survived 330rwhp for a while (in the last rx7) and it was even driven out to Rotary Revolution years back, but it just made us nervous and always wondered "what if it breaks?" At that point, the line was drawn - and he was moving away anyway. So yeah, it sits.
As for how much for it? I'm not even sure. I couldn't even put a number on it. It could range anywhere from 6k - 10k for all I know...

 

I'm going to post this up soon in the for sale section. The car still sits and what is necessary for the car to get it to where my perfectionist self wants to get it to requires time and some money that I just don't have. If I want another rx7 project later on, I will find one. So, if anyone has any questions in the meantime, please feel free to pm me. The car is located in western colorado.

 

Wow, 5 months later and I never went through with it. Ok, now I REALLY have to sell it due to my condition and needing to move in a few weeks...
I'll be posting it up in the next day or 2 in the 1st gen for sale section.
