Just bought an RX-7!!
Whats up guys!! I just bought an 2nd Gen RX-7 yesterday! 
Its 1987 RX-7 Turbo with original 39,000 miles all stock. The previous owner was so nice with this car that he has never driven in snow/rain, oil changed every 3000miles, drive around a block once a week, waxed frequently. Its like a brand new car that just came out of dealer! I was going to modify the car but its just so clean that maybe I should leave it that way. What do you guys think? The price was only $6300! I don't have the picture right now but I can post it up by Saturday.

IMHO....keep it the way it is. It will be worth a pretty penny if kept stock and mint.
There are plenty of other high mileage half molested cars that can recieve a big single - multi-colour pearl paint - GP sports body kit and all that jazz.
But its your car - either way, nice buy and welcome to the club!

yeah sounds like you should just drive it like yo uwould if you had just spent the $19,000 on it new in the 80's. Enjoy Mazda's 1980s rotary sports car in all it's stock glory.

The car is in black exterior with grey interior... which is best color combo IMO. Yeah I was planning to undercoat the car because Chicago's roads have lots of salts. I really gotta find another car ASAP so I don't have to modify this rx-7. I'm looking for GC8 2.5RS, 99 10th aniv miata, or clean 91-93 240sx... All of them are pretty rare =(

My best friend has a 2.5rs......go for it man, what fun a ride. It'd be SUCH a shame to put miles on that 7.....I hope you can control yourself, I'd have a hard time.

Thanks for replies!! The only thing bad I heard about 2.5RS is about their tranny. But they're still amazing =) Rotary in Miata sounds crazy but what I'm planning to do is putting Individual Throttle Bodies on them to make a crazy na machine.
