West TX RX-7

I'm an FC owner now for about 3 years and just bought an FD from a guy off of ebay. Could some of you 3rd gen guys take a look at this and let me know if you think it was a good deal or if you happen to know this car and what kind of shape it is in?

Thanks!

My new FD

I think its a pretty good deal considering it runs for about 7gs. with a recently installed motor. overall seems like a good deal

It looks like a pretty good deal. As the compression is good and the coolant seals are intact. $7k is pretty sweet. Too bad its an automatic, though.

do the manual tranny swap asap. I hate having an auto so I'm in the process of swapping mine now. great deal on the car though. not a fan of the wheels but the engine compartment looks pretty sharp. great to have another fd owner on the forum. congrats!

not bad at all for the price

Looks like you got a good deal, let us know if "accelerating is smooth and aculate."

I agree, if the car turns out to be as described, hats off to you!

7k is pretty cheap

I payed $6,300 for a '94 RII with 52,000 miles (a good amount here) in Japan with no engine rebuild. I say you got a good deal.

nicely done, very good deal for a clean title FD...

Yeah, not bad at all. It'll give you a good project if you wanna take on the manual swap. I actually bought my FD in Lubbock not too far from you I don't think.

I apppreciate the input guys. I didn't actually intend on buying it but wasn't going to let someone else grab it for under 7k. I figured if I got it, I got a good deal if it's as clean as described and the pictures show.

I'll just keep it an auto for the wife. My FC is modded to the gills and thats my viper killing, apex throwing machine. I want this one to be stock and reliable.

I think you stole that car, its hard to come across good deals like that. Good luck with her...one day you should convert to manual tranny...

Anything I should look for on an FD from San Diego? Rust?? Anything that breaks on the FD's?

Lots of things break on FDs Looks like you got a good deal. If the wife likes the automatic, I say keep it that way. Congrats!!

Quadulus

Not bad.. I snagged mine off ebay in january for 6500. 3k miles on the motor and 88k on the body. Manual trans, turbo timer, 18rims, wings west body kit. All it needs is paint and cleaning up.

She can't handle the TII. It's mad quik YO and rides rough as a cob but turns like stink and makes your *** grow teeth to hold on.

I have noticed they are comming down in price the past year. I really got lucky though it sounds like. Hope it's not a scam. I think probably not though since I haven't recieved an email saying "Just Wire transfer the funds to ..yadayadayada.." I have only heard from him once. Waiting to hear back about meeting me at the airport so I can go ahead and get my ticket.

Do you guys in the LA, San Diego area have any rust problems on your FD's?

Fumanchu

No. You have to seriously live on the sand to have rust problems in So Cal.


I think most of the time people have rust problems due to salt on the road in states that get snow. You won't have that problem here in So Cal.

giovanna18's

yeah great deal but i couldnt live without my manual. I dont think an automatic can handle 425 hp

The guy called me and sounded like the real deal. He still owes 11k on it so he's gonna have to come up with the rest to get the title out but he's a military guy getting shipped to Japan in a couple weeks and can't take the car. Says he's gonna grab a skyline to drive while he's there. Lucky guy!
