Hello from Florida
 
Looking to find the perfect RX 7 Fd for me.

I cant wait to join in all the fun.

I live in Northeast Florida and i am looking for a VR Rx-7.

This is the dream car, so i have been stalking this site for a decade.

Wish me luck on the hunt.

Just remember for us dew that live in northern Florida that all are resources for rotary shops are 2 + hrs away

steven.morton 04-11-17 06:35 AM

Yeah i made sure to figure out where the nearest ones are before. Im not sure if other posts i have made are invalid but my count went down... from 10 to 5. lol. I fully understand and endorse the post count to make sure only true members post. but, it is a bit limiting to start with. especially when you would like to try an post in the classifieds.

Rotarybillfd3s 04-11-17 06:38 AM

Why are you so eager to post in classifieds?

Rotarybillfd3s 04-11-17 06:42 AM

And with the rules I'm pretty sure they do this to keep people from flooding the forum trying to just sell things.

Rotarybillfd3s 04-11-17 06:43 AM

Check Tampa Craigslist. Bunch of fds for sale and there are a few here in Jax for sale as well.

steven.morton 04-11-17 06:45 AM

I am trying to find an RX7 currently. I am reaching out to ones posted and i am checking the usual(craigslist, bring a trailer, etc) and it seems like the "want to buy" get decent feedback.

Rotarybillfd3s 04-11-17 06:47 AM

Well if you aren't afraid of buying a roller. That one in Tampa you coiks probably get for 3k

steven.morton 04-11-17 06:50 AM

honestly, i am trying to focus on mechanically sound ones. I am not worried about the non- essentials, just want a decent engine and tranny. oh and must be a manual lol

Rotarybillfd3s 04-11-17 06:52 AM

Anticipate spending over 10k

Rotarybillfd3s 04-11-17 06:53 AM

I picked up mine for 4k. Needs paint. But my interior is complete except a few plastics...

steven.morton 04-11-17 06:57 AM

the budget is there. Looking to spend $15 to $18k. to make sure i have a decent starting platform. which seems to be doable. I have reached out about one but it has 3mm seals and i spoke to someone and now i am terrified to some extent of those. the information on the site is so polar on it that i hours of reading did not help much lol

Rotarybillfd3s 04-11-17 06:59 AM

Well if you have that kind of money on hand to spend there is a silver one out in cali with the red interior for about 18

steven.morton 04-11-17 07:03 AM

yeah i saw that one. I am trying to make it so i can get it in the southeast. or within 1000 miles. i want to try and road trip it back and the idea of going from cali to here seems a bit... long. lol.

Rotarybillfd3s 04-11-17 07:05 AM

I road tripped my first one back in 2003 from so cal to Vegas and Vegas to Minnesota...there are some decent ones here in Florida that just need a little love...especially with your budget you could build the motor and still have money in your pocket

Rotarybillfd3s 04-11-17 07:07 AM

I had to go the roller route. I'm on a tight budget. Mine won't be back in the road for at least a year. Single parent life makes having toys tough

steven.morton 04-11-17 07:20 AM

i understand that budget issue. I will have to reach out when i get a spare moment from work lol to see the project you got going. work is one of the reasons i am trying to find a mechanically sound one from the start to work with. I have some time but not enough to start from scratch, plus probably the bigger issue being i want to drive it now. lol

Rotarybillfd3s 04-11-17 07:36 AM

Anytime. I'm always down to help...

Rotarybillfd3s 04-11-17 08:05 AM

What side of town you on?

steven.morton 04-11-17 09:48 AM

well i work in orange park, and i live in Southside. what about you?

Rotarybillfd3s 04-11-17 09:49 AM

I'm Southside as well. Right off beach Blvd. Close to university

steven.morton 04-11-17 09:54 AM

dang we are close. I am off Gate by the towncenter

Rotarybillfd3s 04-11-17 09:56 AM

Yeah. We aren't far at all.

Rotarybillfd3s 04-11-17 10:03 AM

Cruise by when you get a cha be and we can shoot the shit

Rotarybillfd3s 04-13-17 09:44 AM

Possible fd
 
Give me a call tonight. My buddy up north who has a collection of fd3s is liquidating all of his cars. All of his cars are very nice.
