does anyone recognize this rx7 he said he is a member i just bought it from him last week. its a great ride very nice. do any of you recognize it. how did he treat it he said he built it does anyone how well he took care of it.

 

Congrats on your purchase. The car looks familiar. I can't recall the previous owner's handle, but I'm sure the other members will chime in. It does appear to be a well sorted car, and quite clean.

I hope you are familiar with RX7's....

One request, don't go turning up the boost past what the previous owner has had it tuned for .....

 

thats one of RX7Junkmans fd's, i dont know what moved him to sell it..

i remember the time that went into that intercooler install. very nice, clean fd. how much did you pay? was it a rebuilt engine, i dont remember??

 

Looks nice, What turbo does it have. Where did you buy it from? Where in Florida are you at?

 

bought it for 20k he said theres well over 30k in it. ported engine t60-1 turbo.

 

Looks like it used to be a automatic , it has a automatic rpm guage.

 

and alot more extras

 

Just bought a hood from that guy, thought it was his car...

 

If it used to be a auto, you might want to check to see if you have the 4.1 differential that the manuals came with.

 

how can i tell?

 

he did tell me it was an automatic.

 

All I remember is his avatar is a real life Peter Griffin.

Welcome to the board.

 

is there a difference and how big of a difference?

 

Search on here for some pics of the differentials. the auto has a thick flange where the drive shaft meets up with the differential. Manual has a thin flange think it's called a companion flange. There is a difference. For example. 10 speed bicycle. Taller gears you can pedal alot faster easier, put in a lower gear it's harder to get going faster. It helps with acceleration. It's not a huge difference, but if your into racing, you want to a advantage that is one way it helps leave the line. The auto 3.9 differential you'll have a faster top end, and 4.1 will be faster off the start but will lose a little top end.

 

sweet ride welcome,
automatic rpm guage.is that it under the fuel guage?
also what lights? are they pretty nice

 

The stock rpm guage. Automatic car has 7K redline.

I know the previous owner. he kept it very well maintained & he spent every penny he had to buy only the best for it. hope your enjoying it. and yes it WAS an automatic and yes it is a 3.9 rear diff like I said b4 lanceuppercut.

 

Nice car dude welcome, you guys really do look after your FD's over there I will do some FD hunting over here and show you how run down they can get her in good old New Zealand.
