Saw an ad on ebay for a 1989 GTUs. One thing that I found interesting is that the redline starts at 8k not 7k like I have seen. I can't seem to find any info what/why/how this model has an 8k redline. Thanks a lot for any info.

P.S. the ebay link is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6327

 

non turbo, manual transmission 89-91 RX-7s (S5) have 8k redlines.

 

Just a side note if you are looking to purchase that car, GTUs's have no collectors value other then whats in peoples heads. 8,000 is WAY over priced for that car. A good solid offer is 3500 - 4000 dollars for that car, It is incredibly clean, appears to be mechanically sound with a rebuilt motor. Shop around prior to buying your first Rx7. 8,000 is avg to high for a low miles clean S5 T2.

I only say this because years ago, on my first Rx7 I got taken for a ride by the previous owner. Just because it's an Rx7 doesn't mean the price tag should jump up through the roof.

 

just coupes though, convertibles were 7k too

 

Hmm I'll have to check that... All the manual tranny S5 verts I have seen were 8K redlines.

 

Icemark is right (isn't he always). My S5 vert manual tranny has 8K redline.

 

To sum it up, it looks like a nice car. It has 4.33 gears in the back instead of 4.10 or (correct me if I'm wrong) 3.90 in the auto models. I think these are over priced as S5 TII cars have more potential.
