Chuck a skid

What's up folks, my name is Josh. I've used this forum for a while since I've owned my rx7 and finally decided to make myself a member. I own an 86 N/A, full emissions delete including all wires from the emissions components removed from the harness, dtss eliminators, angle mods, and a welded diff. The car is my daily/drifter/project.

I've had it almost 3 years. I bought it for 500 bucks because me and the p.o. thought it had bad coolant seals. 2 radiator caps, tightening the bleeder valve, and a few vacuum hoses later and here I am, still going. The shell has 320k+ miles on it, and the dealer has records from new-170k miles, I bought it at 289k miles, so no telling what's been done.

That's incredible!!! It looks fantastic given the miles that are on it!! Does it have the original engine or did it get a Mazda reman some time in its life?

I'd like to think it does but theres no telling. Its definitely not a reman, or if it was then the tag is gone. But yeah, the chassis is in really good shape for the miles on it, unless someone swapped a cluster in haha. Yet again, no idea. Original or not, it's the best 500 bucks I've ever spent!

That was a heck of a deal!! Did the car come with the rubber spoiler that's in the car in the picture? That's a desirable spoiler for the FC. They were available pre 1988.
