i was looking at your site.. my god your car is a nice peice of work, i was wondering if you had any other pictures? i would love to see more. that wide-body is the best ive ever seen, and with the 20b.. good god.

Thanks. Compliments are always appreciated.

I have other pictures, though not online. The ones on the site are the best.

The body turned out nicely, even though I mixed parts from two vendors. That's due, in great measure, to the craftsmanship of the folks at East Coast Refinishing. They are very meticulous.

I don't do drag-racing, so I don't have quarter-mile times. If I don't sell it, soon, I will try to talk a friend of mine, a pro drag racer (AA fuel dragster), into running it down the strip a couple of times. That will prove what the car can do, as opposed to what I can do...or more accurately, what I can't do.

368 RWHP and 428 lb/ft at the rear wheels. Allowing for 15% drivetrain loss, that's 427 hp and 478 lb/ft torque at the flywheel. Evil Aviator was kind enough to post the url to the dyno sheet, if you want to look at that. The abrupt drop off at 6200 rpm was due to a bad secondary BOV.

The motor is all stock and uses the stock turbos. If someone wants to upgrade it, after purchasing it, there is a lot of room for improvement. If I had buckets of money, Peter would upgrade the motor to the same level as the black 3rd gen that was featured in the Car and Driver Supertuner Shootout in 2001.

 

very nice. i showed a couple of my friends, and all they could say was

sell it? what for? just curious.

i understand about the drag racing, my dad has a built rx7 and ive been bugging him to take it to the track, but he doesnt want to.

do you own any other rx7s? just a curious person..

 

I think he's selling it to put his kids through college

 

Yeah, the drool problem is pretty serious. I have to carry towels at all times.

I have four kids in college. That's four simultaneous, but distinct, bills for tuition, books and all the rest.

I have a 1985 GSL-SE, which is stock. Just turned 201,000 miles. I also have the ResurreXion-7--the poor man's project car. It will replace the RXX-7 as my evidence for an insanity plea. It's a first gen with a T-II motor and some serious mods.

I used to own a 3rd gen, but it was a money pit.

 

i have 2 gsl-se's, one has 226,000 and the other 183,000, they are the best cars mazda has made until the miata

mike

 

I'm inclined to agree.

 

I met a guy in Key west that had a GSL-SE and he didn't know a damn thing about it cept it had a "wankel" in it.
Then i said yeah those had the 13B in it and looks at me funny and goes 13B whaa? He said it was the best little car he'd ever owned 178,000 miles on it without a hickup
