How good did I do?
So I managed to wrangle some free time today so I took a walk out to the shop. When I purchased my FB the person I bought it from included all the spare parts he had accumulated while racing the car. I bought the car for $4,000, race ready and built for spec rx7. I am not running it in spec rx7 but rather plan on using it to compete in my local tracks racing series.
I am curious whether or not I made a good purchase. The car is in pretty good condition. Obviously it was a half decent purchase because it was a 7 but based on all the spare parts I got I am curious just how well I did.
Parts included:
1. Rear end w/ fresh rotors on it
2. What looks to be control arms for the rear end still in the packaging from Mazda
3. Mikuni PHH 44m carb + high flow intake manifold (installed currently)
4. 3 Nikki carbs (one of them is missing parts the other I haven't checked out much, and a third was on the car and working when I bought it)
5. Spare passenger side door
6. Spare front fenders (right and left)
7. Spare back hatch glass
8. 3 sets of shaved Toyo RA-1's (12 tires, lightly cycled)
9. Stock rims w/ rain tires on them
10. 2 sets of racing rims, one set wider than the other, the wider set is wrapped in Hoosiers
11. A set of front and a set of rear rotors in perfect condition, and still in their boxes from Mazda.
12. Seal kit, still in the packaging from Mazda
13. A case of Idemitsu pre-mix
14. Spare distributer w/ distributer cap (cap is still in box from Mazda)
15. But load of spare hardware
16. What looks to be spare coil packs? (not sure on this one)
17. Fresh set of hawk blues for all four corners
18. Bunch of spare hoses still in the plastic
19. Spare water pump
20. Still other stuff I haven't ID'd and inventoried
EDIT: Woops, meant to put this in the non-technical section.

Wow, I would just about cry opening that box. I've invested over 3K on mine so far, including purchase, and I don't have nearly as many useful parts. Nice buy and good luck with it!
