New to me, '94 RX7

Second go round w/ an FD and excited.. Got, what I think, a decent deal that needs some work but is close to what I'm looking for; 94, manual, silver & black, lower mileage etc. Car is being shipped directly to Lucky7 for some immediate work as it's been sitting for quite a few years.

Thankful for this site and all the insight and here are a couple of photos.

Congrats. How about some specifics?

How many miles? Mods? Condition? How much did you pay?

Okay, the car has 83K miles and motor has less than 8k(redone at KD Rotary) but the rebuild was done 8 years ago and it's mostly sat. I did a PPI and the turbo's are leaking oil, which will force my hand(arm twisted) to go to a single but other than that it came out pretty clean. Only mods done are Apexi exhaust and koni adjustable shocks/eibach springs. After the PPI where I got the news on the turbo I got price down to $13.5k.. I'm figuring there is some more money to spend on things that need to be addressed after sitting for so long. Either way, I'm excited.

I feel that's a pretty good deal especially for how clean that thing looks. Hopefully the rebuild would only require seals.

I think so too but we'll see. If you look at the photo of the front, the gap is off on the bumper but the previous owner said it was a bump in the garage and not an accident, both autocheck and carfax support no accidents but still you have to be careful. also, with any car but especially these you have to kind of expect the worst. It does need brakes, which I will upgrade and a couple of other items but overall the PPI looked good.

Thanks for the input

Alot of FD sags where the bumper meets the hood.
