Hey guys, I have posted once before on this, but this time I have pics, and am gonna update on whats been done. I picked it up for $1600 up in seattle. Had a burt clutch, and $400 worth of body damage on the rear passenger side. It happened when it was being test drive. The price was origanlly $3500. So I think I came out alright there It has 110k on it, and was bone stock when I bought it. I picked up a cheap used cone filter for now, its an injen... Me and my best friend Thrasher, changed out the clutch, and also did the following. Took off all emissions including 6 ports, removed power steering and a/c, wired the vdi open, tb mod, bored out the tb. Our next project is a cold air box.

Here are some pictures..

Very nice car! I think you got a pretty good deal on it.
I like what you have done already for performance (ripping all that crap out) - that's exactly what I would have done!

 

Looks good (minus the damage).





Not a fan of the hubcaps.

 

Yeah, I missed noticing those hubcaps. Too bad you had to bring it to my attention
<insert picture of me puking>

 

WOW what a steal! Nice job! Have fun with her!

 

Nice car but someone jacked ur spoiler!!

 

looks great, I have a red s5 rear bumper for sale.....It could use paint, and it's a little burned above the tail pipes. PM me if interested

 

ummmm, i'm 99% sure those are STOCK 89-90 GXL/GTU rims...

 

They look like hubcaps

 

lol...come on man...1700 posts and you don't know stock FC wheels?!?!?!

just kidding ...the center caps are "hubcaps" i guess...but the rest is a rim

 

my neighbor has that exact same car in his garage (w/ spoiler). Its in AWESOME shape, has been in his garage for 5 years now with a blown engine, and he wont sell it. What pisses me off is he is NEVER going to fix it. Id love to make a daily driver out of it!

 

Hey guys, thanks for the compliments. I took the spoiler off because it was broken on the passenger side due to the accident. So I figured it would look better without. I have had tons of fun with it so far.

I haven't met my match yet, but Im sure its commin. I have beat a Mark III Turbo Supra, a Maxima, and a Grand Prix. The most dominant win was against the maxima. Gettin onto the freeway, took it up to 130, and he was a good 10 car lengths behing. Cant get any rice to go yet...

Not drivin her right now cause I have to get insurance, but no worries, she's still getting started every day

 

Looks like the previous owner got supprised by "rear steer"..

 

you beat a turbo supra with an n/a??
a 90 gxl is an n/a right???

 

What year was the Maxima? 10 car lengths on most Maximas is more than an NA can handle...Same goes for the turbo Supra.

 

I don't know anything about Supras. But Maximas aren't a joke. Even the older ones are pretty quick. Im pretty shocked you would have owned a Maxima that bad. But good kills anyway.

 

Hey I didn't say I won to be told its not possible. Just cause they "should have" won, doesn't mean they did... and it was prob a 99 or so.

 

shoulda got a TII, i got mine for a grand with no body damage and 133,000 miles.... but i blew a apex seal, no more triangle floppin fun fun

but even though theres no turbo it looks damn nice and seems to be in damn good shape except for the damage, you s5 guys got the damn nice looking tII's with the cool tail lights and all

 

Those are 15" S5 GXL alloys. They also came on the trim level one lower in Canada, but I can't recall what it was called. I think just GX, probably different in the States though. The SE's had stamped steel.

Strange now that I think of it, the Rx-7 no matter the year, has never once come from the factory with wheel covers. Even more bizarre considering the Japanese love affair with these things through the 80's.

 

Hubcaps, haha. I cant think of an Rx7 That came with hubcaps...

But seriously, when was the last time you saw a disc and a caliper behind a hubcap?
