Honestly, I think that's one of the ugliest FDs I've seen in a long time.

It's like the body kit says "Supra!" but the rest of the car says "Mazda, biotch."

I don't like the spoiler. I do like the wheels.

I like the wheels and the color is pretty nice, other than that, I'm not feeling the body kit too much. And the motor needs alot of cleanup work done. Pretty good power though if it's for real.

Looks like its face is missing some teeth, hate that front end but, for the right price, you could then change it to anything you want.

Body kit is ugly. I say talk the seller out of it by 'brainwashing' that rotary engines are hard to maintain or what not hence depreciating the value of this.
edit* FMIC? wow sounds like okay deal.

wouldn't be too bad if they ditched the wing and the headlights, the kit isn't too bad with the right drop and wheels.

I personally think that the blue is too light, I agree about ditchin the wing,lights,front end! rims and tires are nice though. Nice engine mods, makes it worth the higher price. I would ask where the rebuild was done though. Custom exhaust huh?.... sounds interesting..... and by interesting I mean fishy.

well i put a deposit down and i agree with everyone here about that bodykit. Its to much for my liking. But all i care about is a car that runs and has some power to. The way it looks i can take care of the myself. I wish it has like a 99 front bumper or something i woulda likes it alot more. But what do you guys think about the price. I know a good conditioned rx7 is alot of money, but should i pay 17 for this rx7? ??

lol dont pay 17k for it, you need to do some more research.

also notice that the spedo only has KM/H on it.

If i was to bid on any of the e-bay cars now it would be this one

yea the car came from Canada. So that turns into about 50k miles. Somewhere aroun there. i think that color is to ugly. It looks like pheonix yellow that comes on the M3 and i am not to into that. Honestly i was going to trade in one of my cars to get this one since it is ata dealership. That is why i am interested in it. They are giving me a pretty god amount of money for my Gti and since i paying the rest off on the spot they said they can work on the prive with me alittle bit. I have a 93 rx7 right now and it is sitting in the driveway with a blown tranny an i got it one month ago. I just want to get one right now that i can drive and fix this the one that i have now

Damn that veilside body kit is disgusting.

Gotta love ebay auctions with no clue what kind of engine the car has and just plain wrong information. "Rotary Style Engine" lol. Greddy blow off valve? The BOV says Apexi... No details on the turbo..... If I bought this car for $17k I would do this.

Saw this car 2 years ago at Carlisle Custom Jam. It's a riced out piece of ****. The blue is a gay metallic powder blue. Big tach was lame, interior looked like ****, fake Enkei rims, ugly bodykit, etc.

Not only is it hideous, but I'd expect the engine to blow soon after God knows what the dealer has done with a single turbo FD.

ummmm .....no way for 17k. 10k maybe so you could restore it to a thing of beauty instead of thing of nasty.

There is one here in Groton, CT for 10,500. It is a93 touring painted yellow metallic with a black C/F hood. It has 17 inch rims on it. Since you are in NY it is not that far away from you. I could get you the sellers phone number off it if you would like.

/\ /\ That's more like it! especially for the price. If I were you I'd keep looking. For that price you'll come across a tastefully modded low mile FD. Maybe a 95 if you're lucky. Just my opinion though, D
