"ATTENTION!! Since listing this item it has come to my attention that the Mazda RX7 Turbo II motor actually has a Single Turbo and IS NOT a Twin Turbo. Sorry for the incorrect information and thank you for your interest in this awesome car. "

Question: If so much time and $$$ was spent on "restoration" how could you not know its a single?

That's one hideous yellow. At least he corrected himself later on in the post and said it was a single turbo and not a twin.

and whats with that hood scoop???? WTF happened there???

and he says its a automatic in the top description, but its a manual 5 speed in his mis-spelled lower description.

And those sure look like stock side mirrors, despite his claim of "aftermarket side mirrors".

I'm confused, under the bullets it says :
· Automatic transmission

but in his description it says :
"It is a 5 speed manual transmission"

So it's a 5 speed auto? O_o

turbo you damn flamer, stop picking fights with everyone That yellow makes me think of a bananna or something. Didn't the T2's have those Aero mirrors with the holes in them? Those look solid to me, or is that just series 5?

Looks like a nice, clean car.
I like it. Nice yellow.

The shade of yellow all depends on your monitor color profile/settings/white balance of the camera or scanner.

honestly I didn't care enough about the car to look at the pictures. I did glimpse at the text though and noticed the inconsistancies.

Bzzzzz. Incorrect answer.
S4 TII mirrors: Square hole
S4 all others: Solid
S5 (all?): Round hole

Trivial stuff.

I did, but I noticed everyone started driving AWAY from me, I guess you're not supposed to play with guns in traffic.
