I was interested in the car when it was originally for sale on these forums. It sold pretty quickly as well for a car of that price. Possibly one of the best VR FDs I've ever seen (sorry Rx7Rage).

The pictures are all from the original seller/ad so I'd try to get updated photos if you're interested. It doesn't look to have many more miles on it (off of my memory). No motor picture because it's stock other than the mods listed in the ad (also taken straight from the original ad). The main hangup for me was it being on the original motor for the price.

I recognize that Miata/7 picture from a few years ago. It's a gorgeous car, but I can't recall who the owner is/was.

That's not the same car. Here's the owner that was on the forum:

As mentioned, the car performance wise is fairly stock.

Mahjik beat me to it! (pretty standard there).

I could see how the 2 could easily be confused though, espeically with both of the photos with the graphitti background.

You know Rich, some people prefer the 93' front bumper.

However, I think it's safe to say that the 99' tails are a must!

Sorry to bring this thread up from the grave. I can't believe my car went back on sale on auto trader! If anyone knows who the current owner is give me a shout, it would be nice to see if the car is in good hands.

After not having an RX-7 for a couple of years, i'm thinking of getting another one. I know.. we all come back in the end!
