Hi

I just bought a 96 efini rx7 in Japan. Ive been here for 2 years and needed to get some wheels.

My car has got 66000Klms on the clock. A bit high for a car in japan but anyway. This car was a former Apexi demo car so it has been fitted with an AFC, new air intake pipes suspension upgrades new exhaust and upgraded ignition system. I havent finished checking it out yet.

Anyway can anyone suggest any thing I should look out for on a recently purchased rotary? Im new to rotary engines.


Thanks.....

 

Doesnt look like a 96 to me unless someone did some converting...

66,000kms isnt terrible but not great either, remember its only about 37000miles hehe

Where in Japan are you?

 

Im in Tokyo.

Ive got to pay about 300 US a month just to get a place to park it. So its kind of expensive to own a car in the city here.

 

wow! just stick to reliability mods first...i did it last and now im paying the price

 

For a '96 rotary car 66K is not bad but it all depends on how the car was driven by prev owner (especially area like Tokyo). Anyway the car looks cool. Happy FD ride in Tokyo

 

That was wierd I was someone else for a few posts... hummm

Anyway where in Tokyo? Im in Yokohama, but I work in Tokyo a lot.

 

what's wrong with those wheels

 

Very nice looking car.

 

very slick

 

Congrats! Looks beautiful!

 

Welcome to the forums...the wheels are fine for now.

Did you get a compresion test?

 

damn she pretty!!

 

This car had a small front collision so they replaced the front with a later bumper. Seems pretty common for alot of used sports cars in japan. Something maybe you might want to watch out for if your importing a car from Japan.

 

Japan.......... Hmmmn....... Damn I wish I was there. Id be like a kid in a candy store. Congratulations on the FD...

 

What are you doing in Japan? How much did you pay for the fd?

 

Nice wheels , and nice FD

I always check the oil. Smell it mine smelled like gas, (I have the fuel dilution problem) but I bought it anyway and I'm glad I did.

"That was wierd I was someone else for a few posts... hummm "

Me too I was bdsmr or sumthin it was Firday the 13th after all


Omodetto gozaimasu!!!!

 

Oil smelling like gas its a problem, pretty normal.

 

I paid about 13,000 for it USD.

How much is a used rx7 in USA?

Ill send some more pics when I get delivery of it.

 

Thats a border line just ok deal.

I paid $15,500 for mine with 30,000km also a 1996 no dents scratches or accidents

But it looks good so its all good.

 

Black is truly gorgeous. Your FD is one of the sharpest Ive seen around. Nice Work Buddy!

Nice color, winkers and rear wing!
