$39,900, and I'll consider taking a trade-in, if that's an issue. If you're interested, e-mail me at asam@cris.com

 

DIE!!!!@@@@

 

hhmmmm.. that 3 rotor would look pretty good in my vert.

and ferreri's are not ugly. the 355 spider conv is one of the sexiest cars out there. no wonder some people say my car is busted. they lack taste. to anyone who can say that ferreri's are ugly, what the hellcar do you think is attractive? a rusted busted sleeper station wagon with a worked 5.sl-0? hidden under the hood?

 

haha, wonderful site name.

 

A 5.0L mustang would kill your car in a drag race. The only way to describe your flame of "5.slo" is ignorance. Mustangs are far from slow.

 

ok that car is just ew. rims nasty system nasty, i like the front end though.haha

 

a 3 rotor would look good? who would get a 20b for looks??

 

^^^^^^ My favorite RX(X)-7 to date.

I went to this past MDFE in the hopes that you were going to be there George. I'm going to see that thing in person one day!

 

I've been always wondering.. why do you referr the 20b as RX(X)-7? It must be a silly question.... but I always wondered.

 

Go to: www.cris.com/~Asam/20B.html and READ why it's called the RXX-7

 

Thanks for the compliment. It just shows that you're a person of high intelligence and good taste.

Sorry. I didn't know you were hoping to see the car. I was foolishly wasting my time working.

It's a grim conumdrum: If nobody buys the car, I have to work to put the kids through school, so I can't go. If somebody buys the car, I can go, but don't have the car.

 

Sledgehammer is right - you really ought to go to my site and read about it. However, if you're too busy, I'll post the part of the site that answers your question:

The 20B Convertible is now...
the RXX-7.

With all the mechanical and cosmetic changes, it really isn't an RX-7 anymore, so I renamed it. The body shop that added the Tripoint fender flares told me that it looked "sort of like a 944 crossed with a Supra". In previous posts, I've mentioned that the car feels like it's powered by a V-8. So...the "RX-7" emblem on the back of the car now reads "RXX-7" and looks like it came from the factory that way. I'll share a little "in" joke with 1500 of my closest friends: 'XX' in Roman numerals is '20'. The new name is a hint as to what's under the hood.

True story: While I sorting some stuff in the truck down at VIR, I noticed a man and woman circling the car. The woman was looking at it with open admiration and a curiously satisfied sparkle to her eye. The man was regarding as he might some apparition from another dimension.

I walked over and said, "Hello".

The man responded with a terse, distracted, "Hi", and the woman said, "I _told_ my husband there was this really pretty car called an 'RXX-7', and he said, 'There's no such thing.', and he wouldn't believe me, so I made him come up here and look at it."

Her husband had that expression of suppressed unhappiness that connotes a man who is doubting his world view. He fixed me with the sort of look that must have been seen by the defendants at the Salem witch trials and said, "I didn't know that Mazda ever made something called an 'RXX-7."

The gauntlet was down.

I explained that a mild-mannered RX-7 convertible had been greatly modified, and that I had renamed the car in recognition of the extent of the changes.

A smile creased the old-timer's face, and the tension visibly left his shoulders.

"I knew Mazda never made no 'RXX-7'. I told her there was no such thing."

I replied, "There is, now."



...and the story is all true.

 

Don't fret. The gang I went with (Holly Woodward, Brandon Matthews and Steve Fooshee) had mentioned that you usually showed up at the event in the past. I know that with all of the restructuring going on with the ex-MADS event, a lot of people did not want to go this year.

I had plenty of fun though. I got to meet a bunch of people and put some names to faces. I did get a kick out of doing the parade laps in the 'vert though! Maybe next year my Turbo will be ready for the track.

When I first heard that you were wanting to sell the car, I knew there had to be something big behind it. I'm sure that you, like most others, have an attachment to your vehicles and that one would be a difficult one to let go just because of it's uniqueness.

 

i dont like that wing on the vert though'

 

I'm sure that, with that crew, you had a good time. I'm soooo jealous.

FWIW, don't wait on the T-II. Do a little suspension work and put some 225/50/15 tires on the car and have a good time.

At my first MADS (no 3-rotor), I passed a lot of stock and slightly modified 3rd gens by being aggressive through the turns. Although the stock convertible N/A motor is a little weak-kneed, the car is beautifully engineered and balanced. Good technique and stirring the gearbox will get you a lot of fun.

 

see some positive words on the convertible from someone who everyone respects. convertibles are good...

i read the whole rx(x)-7 site, everyone should.

http://www.cris.com/~Asam/20B.html

convertibles rule.

still searching for some decent rims that arent too bulky looking.i might go 17", five spoke....well see

 

I'll give a free turbo kit to whichever moderator closes this topic. *




















*offer not valid on days that end in "y"

 

Hehe!
Your fine print isn't fine enough, lol...

 

So Aaron, that offer is valid "tomorrow"- right?

 

No, no. Convertibles aren't "good"--they're MUCH better than that.


Glad you liked the site.

The "just right" rims on a convertible are difficult to find. The stock ones were soooo perfect. The only reason I went witht he Fikses on mine is that they seemed so "right" with the body mods. If I hadn't had to add the fender flares to get more rubber on the road and was just dying to go to 16" wheels, I would probably have looked for some BBS lookalikes.

Frankly, I was happy with the stock 15" wheels and some wider, lower tires. Looked nice and handled great.

 

how much are you selling the RXX-7 for just out of curiousity. Also where can i get the tripoint fender flares? i couldn't find anything on their website.

 

he put the price earlier in the thread if you managed to parse through everything... i believe he said 39,900, trade in offers may be considered...

 

"poor college student" had it right. $39,900.

The fenders are from Tripoint Engineering. For some reason, they don't have them on a webpage. David Lane had visited there a couple years ago and recommended the fenders. I called them, and they sent out a brochure, including photos, by snail mail.

I don't have the phone number handy, but you can find it on the Master Vendor List.

 

loose the wing, for the love of god loose the wing, it does nothing for that car excpet make it look ghey. please you have already agreed to loose the wheels, now just take that wing off along with the wheels. please, your car is very badass, it just hurts it to see it with that fugly wing, i wont sayanything about the rims cuz you agreed to take them off.

 

Why did someone have to bring this thread back from the dead?
