Thinking of Selling my TII Cabrio
I picked up a 90 TII Cabrio from a fellow service member here who didn't know squat about RX7s. I have had the car for about 1 year and have put about 1000 dollars US into it in replacement parts and Exhaust. I am thinking about putting it up for sale after I replace the Turbo and wanted to see what kind of interest there would be here. I was looking to get about 2000 dollars US for it. It has a rebuild engine with 110 lbs for compressions and i have replaced the intake and exhaust, the PS pump, battery, and will be replacing the turbo shortly. The car has a decent interior with some wear on the drivers side leather and the exterior in in pretty good shape other that some paint peeling on the passenger door near the bottom, which I plan to touch up it's not too bad though. The wheels are the stock steel wheels with winter tires (the original wheels were stolen before I got the car) The rest of the car is in pretty good shape other than the fact I don't have the registration from Germany only the US registration that comes from the post. I'm sure it can be gotten from the German vehicle registration if needed. This would be a great car for someone who wants to finish the work and make a fast convertible or even to use as a race car with some work. I love the car and would take it to the US but the cost for importation is rediculous and I cannot afford the $12,000.00 to complete the import. As I said I would like to keep it but cannot and I am looking to get the money out of it that I paid into it. These FCs go for around 6K euros here and would be worth the money for someone who wants a quick vert.
(forgot that one)

Turbo swap completed and I am working out some of the bugs from teh swap, as well as setting the timing and the TPS. The old turbo was crap, Turbo exhaust housing was cracked wastegate housing cracked, and there was too much play on the turbine shaft. Good thing I changed it out.

Did I pass you in Landstuhl the other day? I was in my white vert and I passed a red vert with the BBS rims on it at a light near the autohof. I'm pretty sure it was an American because I could see the uniform.

I think there is one other in the area. Mine has been in the garage for the last few days while i get the turbo swapped and fix that annoying idle problem. I got both done but I have a little of a exhaust leak that i have to work on today. Sucks because I didn't buy new gaskets I just reused the old ones and they are probably not perfect so I need to retorque the bolts now that it has run a little bit.
