Recently I found a FD with some nice mods and in the process of buying. Just some background notes I talked to this guy and hes very nice and is selling b/c he needs a 4 door. Anyways I was suppose to pickup last saturday but the motor decided to go low compression on the rear rotor at 40psi on 6k miles. Anyways it is currently getting a new engine but I am not sure if I want to still get it. The mods are listed below. I would just like a opionon on what yall think. Some other notes is its boosting at 9psi with STOCK INJECTORS AND STOCK FUEL PUMP AND UNTUNED. The new engine is going to be a REMAN with brand new hoses.

Also the guy was very nice and since it came up low he said he would save me a 300 flight and drive it to me since he didnt know this was gonna happen.

I agree with everyone, for that price, I doubt you'll find a much better deal. Plus the guy is nice, which is a good plus. Don't want to deal with a thief or a crook.

Your missing the part where I posted I dont have time to do it b/c of work. I rarely have days off. And hes setting it on a rich fuel map and the rev limiter at 4k.

1) Because this car was supposed to be delivered last week I took a whole 5 days off to get the injectors and fuel pump in.
2) My days off have to be schedueled a week in advance and since I did not recieve the car last week I got slammed with hours this week and the motor is being finished this week.
3) Due to the owners circumstance hes planning on dropping off and getting his friend who lives down here to give him a ride home.

Well theres not much after injectors and fuel pump... Just a boost controller ... All thats left is a large turbo or even a streetport but I highly doubt I go that route. Anyways I only work during nights so it gives me time to work on the car. I am not using this as a daily driver if thats what most of you are thinking. I love RX-7's. Just can't find many for sale in Texas for a decent price that is why I am considering this one.
