Question Too good to be true?

I dunno but this seems to be too good to be true.
this rx-7 got 50k on chassis and 8k motor miles. and with these mods. its $21k.

XS tuned 1.1bar 434rwhp (pump gas). 3mm hurly apex seal. over size street port. brand new rotor/housing/seal. 850cc/1600cc injector. B&M Igintion. Power FC. XS TO4-S. HKS wastgate. Greddy 3 row intercooler. ACT clutch. kaaz 1.5 way LSD. Mazda competition 1:38 final drive ratio. Blitz SBC ID boost controller. B&M short shifter. and there is more...... Original RE Amemiya: head light. front bumper. front carbon diffuser. front carbon canard. front fender. rear fender. side skirts. rear skirts. rear carbon diffuser. GT 5 way rear spoiler. Scoot hood. 18x8.5 AW7 3pcs wheel. 18x10.5 AW7 3pcs wheel. P-0 tires. Grex 4 pot over size brake kit 13" And much more call for detail. Total Cost over $50,000.00

If the car is right-hand drive (japan import), you will not be able to register it for street use.


I personally wouldn't buy any car that has been modded so heavily. I bought a modified Subaru and ended up fixing the previous owner's mistakes. That mod list sounds pretty good, but you've got no guarantee that the parts were installed and tuned properly.

Those hurley apex seals are made out of plywood, and break about as easily. Trust me, i speak from firsthand experience.

yeah. i heard a lot of negative stuff about the 3mm hurly apex seals. but with the money i'm saving from this, if the 3mm lets out on me, i could just get one of those awesome 2 mm ceramic seals . but i think i'll take more time to think this over. lots of good deals on fd's these days.

If the Hurley seals let go, you may be in for replacing alot of other stuff too.

What is a "black leather roof"?
