i am so happy i could scream. i have been on the prowl for a rolling chassis that i could turn into a all out track car and today after visiting 2 junkyards i found a GTUs with no body damage (except a bit on the plastic bumper)

it is in great shape minus the interior. the body is awesome and it has good wheels. no engine, tranny, or hood

i am trying to get a salvage title on it for 500$

what do you think.

i had to convince the guy to sell it to me by telling him it was the rarext RX-7 ever made and it would be a shame to let it be crushed

hmm...

The gear ratio on the GTUs was part of the forumula to make it fast. Since that shell doesn't have any drivetrain you probably do better finding a basic GTU and swapping in a TII or GTU-S drivetrain.

 

it prolly still has the diff. i will look though

 

Yo,


Save the GTUs from the crusher and the Rotary gods will smile upon you!! *grin*

You da man, save it!

I don't think you can pass up an opportunity to save one of the rarest of all sevens.

 

GTUs That'll be a FANTASTIC racecar.

 

all i have to say is good luck friend, keep em alive

 

Props to you, and good luck with it! Someday I too shall have a GTUs in my name...

 

Hey Rarest,

isnt the 90 rarer than the 89

If so i think i should change my forum name to RarerthanRarestRX

Yo,


Ha! Yer killin' me. Yeah, the 1990 is rarer. I'm referring to the model...

the car still has the diff on it.... yea!!!!!!!

Justin

 

ok, please explain to me what makes the GTUs so good besides its the fastest N/A?

 

Basically a TII w/o the turbo. Suspension, rims, options. It is not the fastest n/a, just the lighest, best looking, and rarest n/a.

 

there were something like 500 made in 90. which is the one i found

Justin

 

Lucky bastard....

 

Too bad there's no GTUs in Canada... or am I wrong? i think the series 5's were only availible in TII and GXL
