After searching FOREVER I found my new baby. 1988 vert with the cleanest interior I've ever seen! Only mods are a cone air filter and straight pipe (loud as shiiiit)
The bad stuff is that the fuel level gauge doesnt work and no stereo after my finals I'll get to fixing that and getting a/c up. Then exedy stage 1 clutch and maybe a full racing beat exhaust

My long term goals would be to make around 200 hp on an aggressive streetport with supporting mods...but that'll be this summer!
Okay pictures!!

 

Nice Vert. Shes pretty damn clean.

 

It looks like the interior has been recently replace, that's how clean it is. Nice pick up man!

 

Awesome. Besides the steering wheels, that interior is clean. The seats look new.

Nice gxl wheels too.

 

omg those seats

 

thanks guys! yeah the seats are amazingly clean, along with the rest of the interior. I'm looking at steering wheels now, but nothing to "ricey." Maybe a suede deep dish....
I'm having soo much fun with her!

 

whats laying on the dash

 

ohh nothing's on the dash, its part of the windshield that got in the picture lol
ill get better pics with a real camera soon

 

Dude, your seats are like gold in rx7 OEM crap. Well only rx7 nerds, but yeah, gold. Please take care of that car. Do the maintenance before you rice it out.

 

Nice!

 

NICE steal man! how much did u pay?

 

Do I see a silencer in the exhaust???? Take that "loud as ****" exhaust up a notch and remove that silencer. J/K, looks clean, welcome to the love/hate relationship between a RX7 owner and his/her car.

 

looks great.. enjoy that car..

 

well the dude was asking 4500 for it, but i ended up talking him down to 3300

so my finals are all finished now. time to get this temp gauge working and fuel level gauge.
Any ideas where to start?
off to go search!

 

looks pretty clean. i like. every time i see a black vert it reminds me of mine.

 

Wow! That's steep! At least she's real clean, and like everyone has said, take care of her and she'll do the same to you. Any plans with the car, or is this just going to be a dd?

 

Hella clean. Good job!

 

Rule of thumb for this site... Never tell anyone what you paid for your FC unless it was under $500. Otherwise, everyone will tell you it cost too much. (I don't think $3300 is a bad price for a nice clean FC at all.)

 

Soo true lol

 

haha and i was wondering why every thread on here was about these ridiculous deals of like $200!

It's my dd, but once the motor gives up (knock on wood) i wanna build an all out n/a. my ultimate goal will be 200 hp at the wheels on an streetport...but for now shes gonna stay stock except for exhaust, suspension etc

its a fun journey so far! and more pics tomorrow in the florida sun

 

IMO verts are too heavy for a n/a... swap an all stock turbo motor in for a dd, then pick up a hardtop fc for a n/a project. Boost is fun too

 

All I can say is that if you live in the Rust Belt, finding an FC with solid floors and all its fenders intact is kind of rare. When my first FC died in '07, I spent about four months looking at every car that came up for sale within about a 2 hour drive of my house. I must have checked out over 20 cars and they were just about all ready for the junkyard. Besides the one I bought (28K miles, near mint condition, S4 GTU recently moved from Florida, equipped just about the way I'd have ordered it in '88) I briefly considered one high mileage '89 GXL for $1300 that had a solid body but needed paint and most of the interior was gone or broken. I honestly think that outside of the Southern and Southwestern U.S., decent FCs are fairly scarce. Paying a little more than $500 for a solid one that you can go check out in person is not a bad deal at all.

Since buying this car in '07, I've probably seen all of five others on the road here. I see way more FDs, and I don't exactly see a ton of those either.

More power to all the guys with the $500 cars that are in nice shape, but I couldn't find any around me.

I've also considered a turbo swap but i know i wont want to keep it stock for long! and yesterday i drove my friends ls1 240z but it probably wont happen in my vert because rotaries are sweeet

the last $500 fc i saw here was a rusted out shell lol

 

my exhaust is soooo loud!! at 3k rpm i feel like a stampede of bees are following me!
how much quieiter is the RB exhaust? I want to run the header, presilencer, and catbacks. When driving is the drone annoying loud still?
