Mint87RX7 03-16-05 09:43 PM

Considering the condition, I don't think so. Really good deal IMO considering what has been done and how clean it is.

Buying cars from ebay is bullshit IMO, if they're too far you can't do any of the tests for coolant seals or apex seals, and you have no idea how it drives etc. This is especially worse considering its a seven...

Unless you buy a car from ebay and can actually make it down to wherever they are selling it, power to ya.

geargrabber 03-16-05 10:08 PM

damn dude, you lucky emin effer.

MARTIN 03-16-05 10:11 PM

That car has been on ebay for the longest time.. Looks really clean, no comp numbers so it sounds iffy. But really clean though..

West TX RX-7 03-16-05 10:13 PM

WOW, Nice find! Take care of it and it'll do you good. Have fun!!

RotaryEvolution 03-16-05 10:47 PM

i bought my car off ebay but i knew it was in non running condition, getting to drive it for a week or so was a bonus!

SonicRaT 03-16-05 10:50 PM

about $2k more than I'd pay for it. :)

jreynish 03-16-05 11:16 PM

I want to know how he is controlling those injectors!.. it didn't say

n4ji 03-16-05 11:23 PM

I was looking at buying it, but buying off Ebay still is kind of sketchy to me. Just a personal preference. Let us know how it runs when you pick it up!

Flobb 03-17-05 12:16 AM

is it just me or is one of the rotors laying on the guys living room floor

RotaryEvolution 03-17-05 12:24 AM


Bid with confidence, this car will be a classic in a few years and it will only increase in value.
i thought this quote was kind of funny though..

jsmiley 03-18-05 07:05 AM

says car dyno's at 320. did 2mm over apex seals on rotors when he had dave build th motor. has a fuel shutoff, and the Apex'i SAFC II, so......i prolly will get an apex'i turbo timer to be on the safe side, but who know. i hope it makes it back from KY., hahaha.....going to pick it up Tuesday the 22nd. i figured i got licky when i baught my 91 off the net, dint see the car accept some sorta crappy pics, and i am super fortunate on how great of shape the car was in when it arrived in my driveway, and the amt he was asking. so i think i'll be ok.

usmcjsy 03-18-05 07:12 AM

Nice car man, I think you did ok. What a car is worth to one person is different than what it is to another. I think you did ok I was gonna pay $7500 for a FC once when I was looking, I could not come up with the $$ though so I got mine for $3k. However it was bone stock no mods. I hope you enjoy it and welcome to the turbo side :).

if you look at one of those pictures it shows he has an safc.

owen is fat 03-18-05 09:31 AM

nice buy, I saw that on ebay and it looked so clean that I sat down to read the entire ad even though I'm not looking to buy another one.
its a nice setup, that car looks great... I'm sure you'll love it.

dsmrx7 03-19-05 03:11 PM

IMO...I would've bought it if I didn't live here on Guam...

jhammons01 03-19-05 04:16 PM

I hope I find you when I get ready to sell mine! $5500 Chaching

Stranger things have happened. I don't know how long it will take, but I can see a day where RX-7s start to become more collectible and get restored instead of trashed. I don't think it's going to happen in the next few years though. The 1st gen has to get there first.

RotaryEvolution 03-19-05 10:01 PM

well with the amount of FCs on the road at the current time i think it already is a collectible car but obviously there is little demand for them. probably 2 dozen of them in all of sacramento county still running out of 1/2 million? cars on the road here. i doubt the value of them will be going up anytime in the near future especially due to the test only flags and emissions standards in the US right now.

West TX RX-7 03-19-05 10:05 PM

Yep, emission laws are sucking the last few older rotarys off the roads. I have only seen 2 other FC's in my area, that was in a town with a pop of 250k. Only seen a couple FD's though as well.

jsmiley 03-19-05 11:14 PM

I want one!!!! When i move to AZ. in 2 years, im definatly gettin an FD. white though. its a little cooler in the 120 degree weather, but it's a dry heat.....hahahaha! I am anxiously awaiting the pick up in Louisville on Tuesday. I will have at least 14 hours to decide if i like it or not....

jsmiley 03-19-05 11:15 PM

BTW, new sig. check it, this is the car of all cars!

jacobcartmill 03-20-05 12:54 AM

Sir Rupert Hobo 03-20-05 01:18 AM

hahahaha! that pic is of my rotor that i took a few months ago. i just threw it on my bedroom carpet and took a black and white picture with my digi-camera..

jacobcartmill 03-20-05 01:55 AM
