Feedback on an FD for sale I looked at...pics
Hey guys, can you take a peek at these pics and tell me how messed up, ugly, screwed up, and ghetto this engine bay is? I just wasted half my Sunday and drove 120 miles round trip to look at this "perfect inside and out" '93 RX7. Needless to say, I was not pleased with what I found:
Outside:
-Paint in bad shape everywhere(silver)
-Misc. dings and dents everywhere
-white aftermarket ugly beat up vented hood
-front and rear bumpers beat up BAD
Inside:
-No radio, all speakers ripped out
-SAFC dangling from wires
-dash/seats OK shape
Motor:
-I have no idea whats good/bad about it, it looks like crap
-radiator hanging on for dear life(it wiggles around when you touch it)
-Beat up Greddy FMIC
-I have no idea if both turbos are even plumbed in
-engine bay is painted purple
-It was hard to start, then died intermittenly at stop lights. They stated it was a bad fuel pump? Anyway, it was FAST as hell though. It had no power/torque below about 3500RPM's then it instantly hit 12psi of boost and TOOK OFF.
Needless to say, I won't be getting the car unless they want to sell it for about 1/4 of their asking price of $13000!!
Thanks for reading this long rant and thanks for any info and feedback on this piece.
