i have offically

bought an rx7. its a 94 5spd, lthr with a turbo timer, boost gauge, and some other rpm/laptime/??? gauge. its white but the body is absolutly mint. there are no scratches rock chips swirl marks nothing. the interior is about a 8 out of 10 but i will live with that. it also has a strut brace but thats all that i cant tell about it soo far. miles are 111xxx i know its kind of high but i only paid 4500 for it and it seems to be extremely well maintained. besides if it blows i have an ls1 back in the states i will stuff in her. i will post pics tomorrow.

post up some pics, FDs get very cheap here once they have 100,000kms which causes many people to be turned off them. But they can still be great cars. What model is it?

Post some pics up and i will tell you what it is!

If i were you, i would get your local rotary mechanic to open the engine up and give it a good refresh, like new seals, etc. Get in early and it can be alot cheaper and last alot longer.

Hey Cuban,
Welcome officially to the 7 club, that is now that you are a 7 owner.
Waiting to see some pics etc. Sounds like you have a real good base car to start with.

good deal!
Looks like you got some Amemiya AW7 wheels and an Amemiya steering boost gauge and pod. Some good bits on there, and the engine appears to be un molested which is also a big plus!

Once again Congrats!

I have a set of mazdaspeed MSO1 and MSO2 wheels available. Lots of people like the MSO1 wheels and the MSO2 are the wheels you can see in my profile on my car. Some people love them some people hate them. I sent you a pm reply regarding the other issues you were having, I just now saw that you dont have a power FC like I thought you had. I suggest a Power FC, intercooler, intake, radiator, and if you exhaust does not have a front/downpipe I suggest doing that also. Then your car can be tuned to put down some good power depending on your engine condition. What RPM are you idling at and how much vacuum is being pulled at a stand still idle.

it idles around 850rpm and pulls a -.6to -.8 vaccum at idle. i would like to get an intercooler but they are pretty spendy i know it will only help but if it eventually blows up which it probably will i have other plans for it. but who knows i would like to have some fun with it.
