167,520 miles

new clutch,brakes and tires

Price paid
2,800 and worth every penny pics up tomorrow.

 

Congrats!

 

seems like the only ones you see for sale now a days are the verts. Grats on the buy, seems like you got a good price. Has the engine been rebuilt yet?

 

NOPE!! this thing is just amazing all the miles are just highway i made sure the motor is strong no leaks no noise and it still pulls great. its a really good motor. plus all service was done before time or on time. this car is immaculate

 

what was the compression like?

 

That's a gang of miles for one rotary engine, good to hear she still runs well.

 

May we ask for a few pictures?
Mazel Tov on your "New to you" Vert!

the EYE CANDY

 

Niiiice! I now pronounce you man and money pit! Oh wait..... that's an FD in the pic too..... you know all to well how badly these wallet vampires drain the life out of you, lol!

 

yeah i know exactly what your talking about LOL. but i Love my 7's and i love Rotaries until the day i die i will be rocking one.

 

Agreed! Now if I can just get mine to stop throwing pilot bearings......

 

damn those pilot bearings. lol

 

167,250 miles? Did a ghost sit in it?! Those seats are perfect.

 

i was also impressed with the seats. the previous owner told me he didnt drive it much. and all miles were highway. it was his daily driver for 9 years though.

I think i have found the holy grail of FC's LOL

 

congrats!...i was impressed...!!!

 

yea theres a little cracking on the driver's seat, but other than that the interior looks spotless!

engine bay is pretty damn clean too.

 

You just have to love the non-turbo cars... when taken care of, they do last forever. 167,000 miles is nothing if the oil was changed every 3000 miles. I'm not sure what your plans are for this gem, but keep in mind that a "virgin" NA with that many miles will need attention as soon as you touch anything in the engine bay.

IE:
1) The rubber hoses are all brittle. As soon as you touch one, you will be replacing them all.
2) That cold start assist bottle in the engine bay probably has about 16oz of green jello in it.
3) You might want to check the radiator hoses and thermostat as well if the maintenance records don't say if they've been replaced.
4) Consider running adding a little pre-mix to the gas tank on fill-ups until you have verrified that the oil metering pump is functioning fully. (IE: No air bubbles in the lines) This is just insurance...

Great find BTW! The paint looks fantastic.

Best of luck with it.

 

actually i was looking at all the hoses today every one has been replaced there all in amazing shape the car was taken to a RX-7 shop here in Ohio. the cold start assist bottle was also filled with new fluid, he told me and i checked its new. the Oil is Gold brand new like its still in the bottle WTF i know how is that possible. lol i will be adding racing beat duals to it due to the fact that the left exhaust tip has broken off from being on a 20 year old car.

 

congrats dude... that vert is sick!!!! black on black is always good.
