MO Just picked up my Black/Black RX-7 R1 w/33k miles

Hey folks! My name is Zach. Very excited to own my dream 7.

A little history: I'm an Army Veteran (63 Bravo All-Wheel Vehicle Mechanic, and 92Foxtrot Petroleum Supply Specialist), and an Illustrator. First off here are a couple pics of my last project: [GALACTUS] 1992 Lexus SC400 V8 Twin-turbo w/Getrag 6-Spd, and Tomei diff! I wont go into all the details but it got pretty extensive...
























Which brings us to my latest and favorite car, my '93 R1!
[Pics one post down]

Beautiful 7, and nice SC. I haven't seen many people work the 1UZ, its typically tossed out in favor of the 2jzgte. Both very nice cars tho.

awesome catch dude. I just picked up my 93 FD on Friday with 32k. By the time I got home it was also up to 33XXX miles though. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for yours? If you don't want to post publicly, you can PM me as well.

From the pics on your 1st post, is this the beginning of v8 swap in your rx7?

Is that the original paint? Black/Black = drool!

Mind sharing more pics (interior?) Do you intend to keep up the mileage pace (seems to be a little over 1600 miles a year!!

Thanks ppls! Yeah Zeke, original black paint from all indications.

Here's the original ad for the car, if anyone's interested in more pics:
1993 Mazda RX-7 R1 Chantilly , Virginia | Motorcars Washington

Planning to not drive it very much at all, especially while I'm doing my Masters degree in California! Just ordered a battery maintainer, and a black car cover.

Oh, and that's a definite no on a 1UZ TT 6-Spd engine swap!!! Hah
