Picked up another FC

Well today I picked this car up however I wont tell you what I paid for it untill u guys guess for a little while...

Just curious what u guys think it is worth

89' automatic rx7 convertable
156,xxx miles
runs good but wont idle in any driving gear
auto trans is finiky however the fluid is HORRID
almost new tires on perfect stock bbs wheels
S5 n/a with p/s and a/c
stock cd/tape/radio player
speakers in headrests
power windows
manual locks
power mirrors

top is in moderate condition, a couple small spots unless it rains REAL hard then it will leak


onto the pics:












Now tell me what it is worth and what u would have paid for it

Hayell no...

I have a Turbo vert and I can't think of anything cooler than a Jspec Turbo AUTO swap.

Put a turbo motor in and change the tranny over to a Jspec auto - they are practically free.

Too cool.

You didn't buy that from a forum member, did you?

I say "ew" to the idea of a Vert., auto., turbo. That's 3x wrong.

Spooled, you'll have pm soon. I think I need to spend money.

I traded my 89 Dodge D50 pickup truck for it strait up..

btw my wife cant drive a manual trans.. if I get it all fixed and running good this is for her

a pic of my slow as 2.0carb truck I traded this guy for.



if for some reason I cant get it to run good then I will use this car to bump up my base...

5 lug swap, s5 tails (mint), s5 bumpers, vdi s5 engine etc..

Dave

How cute, but a car that can't idle whether in gears or not still blows.. Thank God I fixed the air vaccum hoses problem.

I got the idle problem figured out the guy jacked the idle and butterfly screw so much that it was hiding a bad bac valve.. now that I got it "fixed" for the time being the park and nuetral idle is roughly 1300rpm's and surges (ust be a bad bac valve) but in R, D, 2, L the car holds idle fine and does not die...

now to get a bac valve, figure out trans, and this thing should be good.

I want that truck I whould have given my 1991 nissan 240sx and $500 for it. I was looking for one before I bought my rx-7. mini trucks are the coolest thing after the rx-7 of corse.

My idea was to keep it and swap a 4G63 engine into it... that truck has the only RWD trans that can work on a 4G63 not only that but I could have matted a 4G63 up to this trans and put it in a rx7

I may have seen your mini truck before, but I've never seen your 7. I don't get it, I see all these NJ locals on the forum, but I don't see any rx7's at all. None. Ever.
