I got sick of having 3 RX-7s that were all undrivable. My T2 could be driven, but was in such rough shape cosmetically that I didn't want to drive it. This car is almost perfect. The exhaust is too loud, because it has headers and all that, but no pre-silencer, but other than that, it's perfect. New top, new paint, coilovers, interior is a 9/10, and it runs and drives like a champ. The only thing I am going to do to it is add a pre-silencer to the exhaust and upgrade the speakers + add a subwoofer. Other than that, it doesn't need a thing.

Nice car!

Could you tell me what size rims and tires are on there? Is there any sort of coilovers or lowering springs helping it look like that? I really like the fit and stance.

awesome trade imo... now make it turbo so you can have some more "wont work threads" hahaha..

It's on coilovers, and the wheels are 18" ADRs. I'm not sure what width, but I'm assuming 8s in the front, 9s in the back. The lip on the rear wheels is an inch wider than the front, and the tires are 225 and 255 respectively.

I'm not changing anything on it (for now. ) I love it just the way it is. My son and I just took it for a 45 minute drive, top down, he was big pimpin'.

Not as badly as you might think. That T2 had a bit of cosmetic issues, but also has brand new $1200 coilovers, the RB turbo back exhaust, brand new slotted, drilled and vented rotors, pads, etc. It needs paint and that's about it.

I was thinking of that, but the only caliper paint they seem to stock around here is red. I was thinking of painting them a gloss Navy blue or something, to give 'em a little pop but not too much.

88 verts FTW! I just got my 88 turbo vert running and drove it for the first time yesterday. I would trade it straight up for yours though. Nice car man. Keep it clean

Sweet ride. Verts are just sweet looking. I wouldn't mess with that one too much as it is clean and looks great. Way to go man.

Well, we've put about 100 miles on it... I must admit, I love driving it. It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly suggest picking one up.

Very very nice.

Has that black Lab taken a ride?
