One word: GROSS. If I ever meet the gut who raped that REX, I will personally beat his ***! My roommate dosen't even like the RX-7, and he even hates the way this a-hole destroyed the car!

That looks terrible...the hatch makes it look like a pickup from the back, the tails look like they were stolen from a trailer, and the hood belongs on a 'Cuda.

At least they guy figured out how to put a V8 in there and not make people mad about it...give them a whole lot more to be mad about.

I couldn't care less about the V8, but those taillights are FUGLY! So is the hatch, it's like an RX-7 El Camino.

you'll learn to understand it and finally realize there is something nice about it, but still any rotary in a RX is better than a boinger.
But oh well, I mean the hatch is different, wtf is up with plum.
and the taillights, at least they are original (well not supra lights grafted on)
But that guys an ***, oh well

I was so busy puking over that hatch, I missed that. So much for truth in advertising.

WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can understand the piston engine conversion. Hell, if ya blow a rotary and have a 350 laying around, convert. But, why destroy the beautiful body as well?

I know I will probably get flamed for this, but if I blow my RX up, a piston-powered engine will probably get put in it.

Hell, I have a 2.5L I-4 chevy motor, a 3.8L Buick V-6 and a 5.7L Chevy 350 all laying around the pole barn. Not to mention multiple 4bbl manifolds and 4bbl carbs and spare transmission parts as well. I could convert it for half the price of a used 13b motor.

Give him this much credit. At least it isn't a friggin V-6 conversion like the last one I saw. He at least put a good running 350 in there.

Me too, but that's cause I was born in '80 and would be less than ten years old.

I sent him an email:

I recently came across your RX-7 listed for auction on eBay. I only have one question, why do you advertise your 350 Chevy as fuel injected when it clearly has a Carb in the engine photo? Obviously, most auto enthusiasts will catch on to this, but your pictures and statements should actuall reflect what you are selling.

Sincerely,

Look closer, you obviously missed something. It is Throttle Body Injection. It has a set of 4 injectors in the throttle body. This was the first step for domestics into fuel injection, and they weren't ready for port fuel injection.

i agree with you that that car looks like complete ****........BUT you have all been wrong so far on something, and went so far as to act like a jackass and email the guy about it. unless im wrong here that car IS EFI. if you pay attention to the ad it says TBI fuel injection.

meaning THROTTLE BODY INJECTION. which looks similar to a carb if you dont know what you are looking for.

now that i look at it, the hatch replacement for that thing doesn't look that bad.
the color, hood, and taillights make it look awful, but that hatch replacement wouldnt look too bad on a decent color, but i would stick w/ stock hatch, oh well
