Engine pic: Is this turbo?
Another one...
I'm still searching for an RX7. I can tell by the pics that this thing is in very good shape, 50 miles on the engine. Is that engine a turbo? I can't tell and he doesn't specify.

No, that's a non-turbo. For future reference, turbo models were produced only from 1987-1991. If you have any questions on how to identify an RX-7, or to see what different models came with, consult the thread titled "what did the FC come with/ Options and standard features", as well as the FAQ that's stickied at the top of this section.

I dont think you should be spending that 4grand on anything with a rotary in it if you're not sure of the difference between a turbo and non. Do some research on it before you jump into anything because it could be a bad deal.

He practically laughed and said "There is no way I would let this thing go for so little."
What is up with people and over-valuing RX7's in the midwest? Even the beaters are expensive.
Oh yeah and to all you haters, screw you. We all had to start somewhere.

Dude i got my FC3C for 3,700 and its pretty damn clean IMO, its by no means fast but it looks really nice, ran perfectly, and it only had 92K on the orignal engine when i bought it. juts wait, you WILL find a better deal somwhere else, if you give him 4 grand for that its a rip off, i overpaid for mine, and the convertables are the most overpriced FC's you can buy

. That's not really going to help him identify what a TII is and what isn't, though.
