Just bought a 93 Rx7 take a look at pic!

Hey guys whats up.. new to the board... Just thought i'd show you guys what i managed to find through some hard work and patiences. Below is a pic of the car... Only difference with the car now is that is has tinted windows, ohh and the seats were professionally dyed black leather. Great deal! Rebuilt motor/turbos and transmission... Has 7 grand in maintainence receipts too! Radiator,silicone lines, brakes etc.... So get this.. i paid 9700us for the car completely safetied and emission tested! I dont plan on making this a daily driver... I'll drive it maybe 3-5times a week over the summer. Anyways take a look guys.. lemme know what you think... And i look forward to being a member of this board.. its quite helpful!

Very clean. I forgot how much fender gap the stock suspension left. Usually if something seems to good to be true it is, but hope this was just a good deal.

That's a pretty clean FD, take care of her. I don't know how you guys just drive this car a few days out of the week, I couldn't handle not driving this car. When I drive other cars, I feel like I'm driving a tank.

Well, I wouldn't go so far as laughing at the poor guy/gal (something tells me the owner is female). But the good news is the FD was bought for cheap, you could still do a rebuild and have a really nice car for cheap.

Thanks bro... ya the car had a leak that was coming from the over flow tank.. i got it fixed with an all metal tank... no smoke now no buzzer... just smooth riding.... real fragile car though... wow i had a srv prelude vtec before... big difference... however vtec and second turbo engaging are quite similar.

All I can say is seriously best of luck. We all have relatively fragile cars. They are not s2000's.
But for like 11,000 CAD if everything interior, exterior and suspension is ok then go. Just remember always keep a reserve amount for what it would cost to have a complete rebuild (bout 3.5-4k). Don't flame too much it is just incase. Incase you have a ****ed rotor housing and rebuild with used parts is not valid.

Use the forums as much as possible and think reliability before power. Also your compression numbers are quite low so I wouldn't negate the possibility of having a rebuild in not to long. Also use 94 octane we are lucky to have it so go for it.

I never mentioned anything about compression?? Thanks for the advice though... Its a shame that there is so much negative talk with such a nice vechicle. Im not looking at performance at all.. its really fast already... i think it has a stage 1 upgrade???? downpipe 3inch exhaust/intake... meh.. it does the trick for now....
