Well, I've been lurking these boards for a while and really have my heart set on a nice FC (going to look at one in yonkers soon). So I'm driving home from school today and next to the local transmission place is a MINT (I mean PERFECT) Blaze Red 91-92 coupe. I drove back and forth down a busy section of street at least 6 times to ogle. Other than one time when I saw a gsl-se in a parking lot, and I was too drunk to realize what was going on, this marks my first rx-7 sighting in about 6 months of looking.

Needless to say, today was the greatest day of my life.

Hehe. Its like love at first site isn't it?

By the way, there are no 92 RX-7's in the US, unless someone imported one on their own, it would be a 91.

Good Luck in finding a car and joining the crew

RX-7 Turbo II

good luck on getting your fc... i now u will like it a lot cause i know that i do.

BlindLogic

From what I understood ~100 were imported. Or were '91 models sold in in '92 as 92. The only reason I thought it could be was that the rims looked like 91 (they changed that year correct?)

Erik

yeah, there were FC's SOLD in 92...but from my understanding they were just left overs. i don't think any have "92" on the build date inside the door glad u liked seeing one though my n/a might be for sale in the spring if you';re interested, hehe

If u plan on sellin that n/a erik lemme know!!

BlindLogic

I'd love your n/a however, there seems to be plenty of competition and money isn't on my side, so I'll probably have to pass that one.

Same thing happed on my first FC sighting! I had to drive by it 3-4 times. The next day, that same 91 Blaze Red N/A was in my driveway!! HE-HE!

rico05

Hey, Erik, how much? I like your car! ANy desire to part it out?

BlindLogic

Lucky bastard. I wish there was an FC in my driveway...damn, anything's better than my auto '85 brown camry (With custom bodywork care of '94 accord)

rico05

Yeup! Saw it on a Sunday, drove it home on that Monday! It was $4200, b/c it has less than 100k miles and a PERFECT interior, now the body is quite another story. All my fault, however!

Well, if you enjoyed that, you'll have to come to one of our Tri-State events!

Same thing happened to me 6 months ago...paid $4,800 with 21,000 miles on it and not one scratch

ZachSpazz

I paid about $6000 for my nearly perfect 90 TII with 89K on the clock. 6000 miles and 7 months later and now it probably needs an engine.

Sucks to be me, but this means that I can start modding it heavily without as much worry!!! :-p

I smell some nice porting to feed a t-78.

Erik

damn man...that sucks...did u ever find out what it was?


rico05...no, if i do sell it i won't part it out...its one of the cleanest FC's you'll find and taking it apart would break the rotary god's hearts

ZachSpazz

Well, I was going to tell you yesterday on AIM but my bro needed the phone and I was running late to a little rendezvous with the lady-friend...

Anyways, I'm waiting for AAA Plus to take effect (Free towing up to 100 miles). It was SUPPOSED to be in effect tomorrow, but some dumbass at AAA didn't activate it. So, now I have to wait til Friday to pick my car up as I cannot afford the $80+ it would cost to tow my car once back to my house, since it's about 30 miles away in Kentucky. :p

I'm willing to bet the farm on a stuck apex seal. Thusly, I'm going to try the ATF trick and see if that helps out or cures the problem. I'm hoping it does as I need to get around to work and to school. If anything my buddy is letting my borrow his Grand Prix which needs brake work and I'm going to drop a J-Spec in there (into my RX-7...not the Grand Prix).

At least my mom is letting me borrow her Audi A6 Quattro...

ZachSpazz

I wish, but the sad thing is, is that my TII is going to be daily-driver for at least until Summer. A T-78 is a big hoss for cruising around to school...I may as well do a 20B conversion.

*Now, why did I just say "20B Conversion"...I'm getting some very nasty and expensive ideas in my head!!!"

BlindLogic

it's like a disease....good thing you didn't think of dropping a 20b with a t88, and an hks 6-speed

i saw my first rx7 in a lot of a err i forgot but it was a mechanics shop. it was for sale. it was a gtu, 88, baby blueish almost in color. it was going for 300 or best offer. bad break and torn up interior and a big *** dash on the driver side. it was there for about 2 mts. i remember one time.... i opened it and guess what.. it was unlocked. i tried popping the hood(the interior was so bad i almost pulled it off when i was trying to pop the hood) but i couldnt get the hood open. i sat in it for about 3mins and then i realized i could get in some trouble for this crap. so i went and i never saw it again. my second one was a silver FC crusing down by my girlfriends house. my third one was a silver touring FD driving down the highway and i spilled my mt. dew trying to catch a look at it. that was the first FD ive ever seen and it was only the back... it had circled lights and the sunroof was open. that was a magical moment just seeing the FD cruising.
