rx7, good deal?
hey guys
i have never owned a third gen 7 but am interested in them after driving one a while back.
i found one a 93 base i believe or touring not sure the difference.
it has black leather, red exterior, cd, sunroof, 74k on chassis 12k on new rebuilt engine, orginal turbos , orginal clutch. it has some basic mods blow off valve, different radiator, catback,downppipe,midpipe, turbo timer etc...
what would u expect to pay?
its in good condition interior is spectacur , exterior is good accept for one small dent.
thanks

I agree with dgeesaman.
Those mods are too much for the stock ECU, and in most cases too much for reprogrammed ones unless its a stand-alone ECU.
Things to do:
> Compression test @ Mazda dealer using special rotary comp tester.
> Boost guage test (Found on robrobinette.com)
> Find out WHO did the aftermarket installs and who replaced the motor

Yeah, definitely find out who replaced the motor. My FD was fine for like a month or two after I bought it. But due to a crappy rebuild done by the previous owner, it lost compression and when I pulled the engine I found out the extent of the shoddiness of the rebuild. Can't even rebuild that engine so I had to get a new one.
