My v3 Infini
 
Here is my 1989 version 3 Infini RX-7. It shipped in from Japan in October 2014.

Mods as arrived include Apexi Power FC (AP FC model), ARC radiator, Attain exhaust, Profec boost controller, turbo timer, Greddy boost gauge, and rear strut bar. Currently running 1 bar on high boost setting. Pulls super smooth. :nod:

It does have all the goodies that are unique to the Infini for this year.

If you decide to ditch the Power FC let me know, I'd love to get my hands on an AP Engineering Power FC. Oh, and very nice find!

Very nice man! Shade green correct? I love it. Could you do me a favor and take pics of the passenger floor mat? I have a floor bar and I want to make a custom floor mat. Just want to see how yours is! Thanks!.. and if you ever sell it, please let me know. I'd sell my fc in a heartbeat. :)

unek87 01-27-15 11:31 AM

I hate you with love and will admit I am jealous. If you don't mind my asking, how was the import process and what did it end up totaling to get to your driveway?

This is not the shade green, but black instead.

$11k all inclusive. They can be had for $7k or so, but this one was in excellent shape. Not every day that you get to buy one of these, so why not get a good one?

I am in Ocala, FL.

Door Panel. Notice how it has the same suede material as the seats.

So what are the laws to import such rides into the U.S. Now . Older then 25 and it's cool ?

Pretty much!

Vehicles over 25 years do not have to conform to federal vehicle safety standards for the year the vehicle was manufactured. These standards include side front amber reflective markers, rear red side reflective markers, door crash bars (j-spec FCs have hollow doors), 3rd brake light at the top center, front bumper crash bar strength, head lamp display angle and direction, and other items.

Vehicles over 21 years do not have to conform to EPA standards. This means they do not have to conform to standards of vehicles of the particular year that the vehicle was manufactured. IE, 96+ required OBD2, etc.

Well the awesome to know . I registered my 87 as a antique a few weeks ago . No more emissions or anything and renew tags every 5 yrs here in Texas

7speed 01-30-15 01:59 AM

Gahhhh those floor mats and the stock head unit! This is amazing. What are your plans? Congrats on finding a survivor.

The only plans I have for the car is to pull the motor to reseal the oil pan and front cover, new intake gaskets and vacuum lines, and detail the engine bay.

Other than that, just do maintenance and drive it.

meteoro 01-30-15 02:06 PM

awesome!

the computer goes always.... in the passenger side, right?

:bowdown:

Yes. Almost every thing flips. The ecu and engine harness is on the left side of the car. The body harness is on the right.

Very Clean, there is a RDH FC up here in New England but its too rich for my blood. Asking is 16k OBO

welfare 02-08-15 12:13 PM

what are those box thingies? on the driver side of the console, and lower, driver door

unek87 02-08-15 01:37 PM

Those are knee pads for those big g's in the corners

Gregory Casimir 02-10-15 07:13 AM

really nice dude hope to see that at the meet sometime this year lol

Stanis 02-11-15 10:58 PM

I will be at the East Coast Rotary Classic in June. Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/578267658970838/

Yes, those are the knee pads, but I don't quite find them usable. The left pad barely touches a few inches below my knee and the right pad does not touch at all. I am 5' 10". Maybe the stature of the Japanese folks were more suitable.

FCJG15 02-13-15 03:30 PM

I'll be at that show too! Hope to see your car!

I NEED to get my hands on those pedals, pads, and passenger foot bar. But seats are the biggest to do next year!
