Was surfing and ran across this. Looks like a deal for somebody who needs everything.

Already snagged that on Monday - it's why I let the "2 rotor housings, one rotor needed" threads I posted die

It was a bigger deal than you could've known too.

The frame was bent - the body was nasty. He poured a lot of love into it, and he was happy that I was able to give it new life. He decided to sell because his cousin gave him a sweet price on an Eagle Talon turbo.

As to living right, I do firmly believe in a Benevolent God and apparently he wants me to have a nicely running Rx-7!

Was the engine 'professionally rebuilt' or just shade tree?

Shade tree but he had all the right answers...

From Pacman springs to tolerances on apex seals. Hell, there's even a new rotor in the rear.

cool. have heard so many horror stories about shade tree rebuilds not even lasting a year- I now think this is due to them not properly replacing any parts that need replacing, and not breaking in the new apex seals properly.

Stepdaddy, if you read the first two posts, you'd know the answer. Not trying to be rude, but you can't generally just glance and expect to have an answer given to you.

Last I checked, there was a $500 12a and a $750 sp 12a in Orlando still on partstrader. I'm sure you'd be looking at another $150 in shipping to NY though.
