Man, this is a fun car. No rust, pulls EXTREMELY hard to buzzer, mmm. I like this thing a lot. 1984 GSL-SE, every option, all the original papers (warranty notices, brochures, etc) and it is clean, clean, clean besides one dent in the hood. 105k original miles on the original engine. I bought this from the first owner, and even have the papers (excluding bill of sale) from when he bought it. The car is pristine. The only downsides are there's a dent in the hood, and the power antenna doesn't raise. No biggie. But this is a GREAT car!!!! I love this thing.





Oh, and I paid $2000 for it.

 

need to take better pics! show the interier.

 

Get it in the garage, I see snow out there which probably means salt = rust! Beautiful car from what we can see in those pictures

 

The camera sucks. Also the interior pics i took showed the steering wheel, and that was it because of the light. The aperture is outa whack, and everything comes out dark. I dont think the thing's had a good picture in the 3 years we've had it. Also, its sleeping in the garage. I got my parents to sacrifice one of their spots (Chevy Blazer now sits outside )

 

Coooooooool! Now how many of us own more than one? I see a pattern developing here!

 

holy crap! i thought i posted that! lol

 

hehe I got 4.

 

Congrats on picking up a sweet one owner SE. The 1st thing I would do is get underneath it and start looking for rust and stop it it in it's tracks. Preservation and prevention is the key when owning/operating an FB in the rust belt areas of the country.

 

is that suppose to be funny? im a fc man so it dont bother me..but it sounds like your trying to be a D$CK, he was happy that he got a nice clean *** FB..

 

He was not trying to be a dick. The reality of it is that many many of us own more than 1 1st gen just so we can have spare parts on hand. I used to always keep 7 of them around having both a a 1st and 2nd gen as DDs. I'm finally down to 4 7s and a REPU as I have more than enough spare parts stockpiled to last through the next generation of rotorheads.

Of the 2 spare 1st gens on hand, one is getting prepped for a Canadian member, the other is a running spare for when I give up the 2nd gen as a DD and need a sensible 1st gen DD when I don't want to drive the widebody.

 

He was excited for the guy. We in the 1st gen society are a close bunch so don't come in here trying to rag on one of my fellow 1st genners.

 

How about go back to the FC section and be critical. Theres not a person in the 1st gen area thats ever a dick about anything, and you would know that if you ever had trouble with a FB. I'm sticking up for these guys, because they're worth it, and helped me a lot in the past years.

 

Ive got 2 Fb's, but I still want another!

Nice SE, looks clean from that I can see. Next upgrade for the car is a better camera to show off its true beauty! lol

 

Needs more PAR! LOL! congrads man. I hope you enjoy her. I remember when i bought my first SE i thought it was a ugly car but I just wanted to race it, but as soon as I sat down and felt the interior I was hooked! Thats why i bought another after my first one. Couldn't resist! I'll take you for a spin in mine if you come down to Ky this year and autocross some.

 

FCs are OK. I've been wanting a 91 vert and finally found a sweetheart in excellent shape for a good price and the only thing that kept me from jumping ASAP was 'cause I have 5 vehicles already. If I see it tomorrow AM I'll buy it anyhow. *sigh* What is it about rotarys?

 

Lol! thanks everyone! It's going up to the shop tommorrow to check for any leaks (left a little oil in a few driveways...sigh...) but there's a little i mean a small amount, about the size of a nickel, of surface rust in the driver's bin area. Xtreme, i may just take you up on that this spring, I'll probably be down on our spring break if all goes well. But I am enjoying this sooo much. I want to drive it more but can't! I'm afraid it'll pick up salt and rust, or get broken into. This is one car I'll walk to school for.

I'm a believer!
After my first drive last night, I walked into the house after putting it into the garage, said to my mom with a huge smile and my eyes wide with excitement: "THANK YOU, GOD!!!!" This car is just a rush. My muscle car buddy was just amazed at the smoothness and the acceleration from an engine five times smaller than his (1993 Z28 LT1). Everyone seems to like the buzzer too. I am just so happy right now. A true RX-7 that I can drive (my 85 is a non-runner at the moment) is one heck of a daily driver. Don't worry, it will probably be in the garage 95% of the time. A daily driver, but everything is so close like work and school that I can walk to or I can borrow my parent's car to get to a friends house. I have minimal plans for it at this point, just a tuneup (ordered the parts earlier) and possibly a full racing beat exhaust or some suspension upgrades. The car still feels pretty solid for an 84. All in all, I love the car and am so thankful I found the FB, then found this car. I hope I can have many long, fun, fast years ahead of me with this car!

 

More pictures!

 

wish my SE was that clean, way to go man

 

if only you had a better camera ... you should try to borrow one ... looks really clean though ... who spotted the new technology that he's already got int there ( AKA ipod shuffle with cassette adapter ) lol gl with the car.

 

Man that interior looks MINT!!!

 

why do you want music in that thing? my radio doesn't work in mine and I am totally fine with it!

 

driving + music = Cruising and looking cool ... lol

 

wow super good find man hope she works out well for you, as a mater of fact im going to start a search for a gsl se next month (income tax woo hoo!!!). man that thing is smooth.

 

like i said on ohiorotaries, awesome car!!! very nice looking and i'm glad that you have the car. whats the story on it? how did you find it? if you want to keep the car rust free, don't drive it on the salty roads here in ohio. it'll kill your exterior quick!

 

I'm guessing that your leak could be from the oil cooler lines. When i first got my SE i drove it for a week or so and then both lines started leaking like a sieve. The SS lines from Mazdatrix were/ are awesome. Man, i love my SE. Good score...
