Hey, my names Andrew, I just got this '89 n/a (sorry I don't know the trim levels yet) for 300 bux. The catch is it's a project and needs a bit of work for the motor to start running but the car itself isn't too bad.

These pics are a little old, I'll take some new ones tomorrow. It's my first rotory, my first coupe, and my first RWD car (I've beena Honda guy for awhile ) so it's gonna take some time to get to know what I'm doing.







Lemme know what you think.

 

looks like you got a great buy, chrome wheels are egh... though.

 

Lol, I know, they're crap. I wanna put them on my brothers Sephia if they fit, I can't stand them. Cosmetics gotta come second on this build though. I won't be looking to do many body mods, just some touch-ups on parking ticket peel-off and some chipped paint.

 

congrats and welcome to the forum

 

car already has body mods, S5 TII sideskirts, and some type of aftermarket rear bumper...

 

Lol, I didn't know that. I'll have to look into it. Here's a few more, you can see the paint chips.

 

Those aren't T2 skirts, the turbo skirts are a 2 piece deal. And its not an 89. Maybe part of the Finish Line Package??? if thats what its called. But I don't think they'd put that on an SE. Not sure

It's an SE? Cool. IDK, the title sais '89. I just got it so I'm just learning.

 

Its an SE because of the 4 lug wheels. Its not an 89 because of the black side moldings. Just keep in mind that the SE is the lightest model RX-7 so you've got a good starting platform if you choose to mod it. Nice looking car, if you do a lot of searching on the forum you'll find answers to any questions you could ever have. Welcome.

an 89 with s4 moulding?

 

Nope its a 88 GX or SE.

It has 88 mirrors, 88 trim, 88 tails, 88 emblems, S4 lights, bumpers, etc.

 

has a s4 front and rear end too, s4 mirrors as well as tails. its prob 86-88

 

Welcome, car looks good!

 

Mabey it's an '88 but got sold as an '89...like they sell '07's now even though it's '06 or something like that. IDK.

 

i have an 88 and i dont have the rear emblems like that...i have the single on the left side that says in small letters mazda then in big Rx-7. i also have aero mirrors sunroof ....i installed s5 tails, here is a link to my photobucket with a few picturesPhotobucket

 

yo awesome ride its lookin good very good. it is also a super buy. hey every used car needs some TLC and ur car is in great shape good luck with it and also the rims dont look half bad. its better than none right lol!

 

Nope. what is the 10th digit in the VIN. That will tell you exactly what model year it was sold as, regardless of what your registration says it is.

G = 1986
H = 1987
J = 1988
K = 1989
L = 1990
M = 1991

 

Oh of course lol. Looks like my car is just a Hienz 57 toss-up lol. S4 S5 '88 '89. Atleast I have front and rear disks, I'm happy about that. My Integras were the only other cars that had them and I miss them

 

all FC's have 4 wheel disk brakes

 

I gotta log-in as you to view it lol

 

damn i just realized i have to be at work in about 5 hours so ill just post the pics tomorrow

 

Ok.

Any advice on where to go with this is welcome as well. I don't really plan on doing a T2 conversion or anything, but mainly making the 13b reliable as it can be, and then working on some cosmetics and then more on handling. I think that with time this could be a really nice Fc. I have some expert help over here too from a guy I met on my local forum. This might come together really well.
