Cleaning up nicely, does Indiana have tough smog laws? (not that it would be an issue with injection). Looks like the stock gauges just with white faces, great garage you have there also, got the same harbor freight seat in my workshop.

what are you going to do about that ding in the quarter panel?

Axmily

most likely going to buy the wide body rear fenders and do that.. if not my buddies really good at body work and il have them cut and section that part out..

wow! $300 that's a steal!

Axmily

yea the best part was having the guy i bought it from come out and drive it. he was kinda upset that i got it running. ha.

Currious how much can i expect to get outta this rx7 price wise? just currious how these are in value

Nice find. I'd say $900-1200 bucks is a good ballpark for a good running second gen.

Axmily

Thanks alot. i just recently blew my radiator so i just got a used one for 50 bucks.. these cars arent to bad parts wise unless a rebuild is needed.. and i also notice this car is very tempermentle when it comes to starting after being sat for a couple days

Yeah I know, these cars seem like they were meant to be excersized every day otherwise they get pissy with you.

I'm not sure that is the case, I have a 2nd gen RX7 non-turbo, and I let it sit for a while, no problems sitting for a while and then starting, there may be a problem with something either the starting system, battery, fuel or something, you just need to address the problems. Mine starts without any problems after sitting for a week or so.

Axmily

i just recently put a new battery in it. maybe i need to clean the injectors... or maybe the spark plugs are bad

Gryffinwings

It's a possibility.

all wheels polished.. tinted windows..
