What do you think of this FC

91 rx7 for sale the engine was rebuilt 5k ago and it runs better then it ever has! engine was converted to use premix oil, new LSD, new rear shocks, supra type body kit and lip kit, header ,full exhaust, turbo 2 rims and seats, new clutch

This is not mine but I was thinking about trading my 240sx with some extra stuff, but I am not sure if I like this body kit, well only the rear. And I would have to change the tail lights. Also does anyone know the person that owns this car?

Thanks for looking!!!

Those are the stock tail lights for the 89-92 RX-7s. I'm not crazy about the Supra body kit, but thats personal preference. Who rebuilt the engine?

It looks like the tail lights are painted and I am not to sure about them and I am borderline about the body kit I like and I dont like it I guess I have to go see it in person.

I will find out who rebuilt the engine and other specifics about the car tomorrow.

Oh, I thought you took the pics. The third pictures looks like it needs some paint on the front left fender, so check that out too. Do you know how much they are asking for it?

I think it will be a even trade for my 240sx plus some parts, 300zx brakes, 5 lug hubs, maybe lsd, etc That i was planning on putting on the car

I have a ton of stuff for my 240 to make an even trade. I just havent had time to install any of it.

That seems to be a Mariah bodykit and the tailights aren't painted, I'm pretty sure they just came that way.

Make sure that the owner provides all the necessary parts so you can put the metering oil pump back to stock. There's no real reason to use premix unless the metering oil pump fails and you are too cheap to replace it. However since this is an S5, it will not run without the pump so you'll likely find it tied up in the harness somewhere.

Also, take a VERY close look at the engine for signs of hacking.

Thanks guys for your advice and comments, I am not new to the rotary I have had my 1st gen for about five years but is there anything else that I should or be aware of when looking at the fc any common problems that usaully occur?

and the reason I think the lights are painted are because of the small circles around the reverse lights and how everything is blacked out around the brake and turn signal. I know they are s5 lights but they are painted in some ay see the pics below.

It looks like a Erebuni body kit. They don't look like TII wheels either .

Maybe it's new in a relative way Like how if he bought this car it would be his "new car".

^^^lol

I will ask if its brand new or new to the car. But am guessing that he is into drifting so I will make sure that the lsd isn't slipping.

it looks like an 89 supra front, but it is a body kit. It all looks good except for the spoiler, and as everyone stated before me check over the engine VERY carefully. Look for signs of cut corners and cheapness which always leads to unwanted work and money spent when purchasing a car.
