i thought it was a false add wen i seen the price ... i drove 3 hours to pick it up .... i was lucky it didnt get sold . it feels good to go outside and see an rx7 outside ... lol even when it had no interior or seats i was sitting in it

Reminds me of when I bought my fd 6 years ago for $2500 as well. Glad you to see you didn't give up on it and got it running. RX7s are definitely never ending money pits haha

Congrats. Waiting for the day there's an FD in my garage...

I also have an RX-8...an 04 LY. Been fortunate, no issues yet, though I've only racked up 37k so far.

Have my eye on a YMC R1, fingers crossed. Love that color.

The rx8 is a fun car but i need something with a little more power ... Im gonna hold on to this car ... Someday its gonna be like the chevelles ,road runners ,novas , datsuns , things of that nature and i always hear older people say they should have kept those cars .

HEY! I just stumbled on this. You must be Dave! I'm the other guy you got the front harness from. Lance is by far the most talented rotary guy you'll ever meet! He's going to be doing my 20b when I finish sourcing all of the parts but he's build me a mean halfbridge ported engine. He's really quick at the jobs he does and gets parts in a snap somehow. You're in the best hands that have ever worked on something with rotors, he has me hooked on learning everything I can. Hope to meet you in person one day.
