How much would you pay for this car?
I paid $1500 for a stock Rx-7 15k miles ago.
It's a 1988 SE with 143k miles:
Cosmetic:
'03 celica seats
S5 round tails
CS glo-gauges
Gauge pod with boost gauge
New Maroon paint (same as 50th anni. corvette)
Decent sound system with 12in sub, amp, and polk 6.5's
Straight body, clean interior
N/A Aluminum hood
Performance:
This is where it gets tricky, the car is in great shape, don't let the mods fool you, it pulls really strong and is a kick to drive. Mind you this is all done custom from the N/A block
K&N style filter
S5 turbo
T2 Intercooler front mount
550cc all round
FD fuel pump
SAFC to controll
Custom downpipe
RB Presilencer
Stock cat-back
Basically this car is the ultimate sleeper. I have not dyno'd it, but I can tell you it is fast. Turbo on high compression rotors=fun.
Given all this and all the time I've put into it. I want a new car. What would you pay?
It was fun to drive and I got the turbo on and drove it on sundays for a few months, but I want something new to do.

Sigh... it was done with custom modifications, similar projects can be found via aaroncake and sonicrat. I used the stock top mount IC and modifed it to be front mount.

but seriously, sounds like a nice ride, how much have you invested in it? i'd say maybe try and sell it for 4500? just a ballpark figure, i really don't know how much you want to get out of it. but sounds nice either way, and yes post pictures.
