Just picked up my first RX7 a 93 R1
Hey everyone!
New proud owner of a 93 R1! Got her on Sunday from a good friend of mine who has had it for about 9 years I think. It hasn't been tabbed since 2006
and has been stored in a garage , then under one of those Costco Tents and then finally in a storage unit. She is showing some nasty oxidation on all the aluminum and rust on all the nuts and bolts. First thing I did was take apart all the interior and start to vacuum out and clean up all the mice nests that were in it. We disenfected it the best we could and it came out pretty good.
A little about the car. The chassis has 133k and the motor has 9k on a rebuild. I was told it has been ported about as far as you could go without doing any damage. She has a single turbo (Not sure of the size I will have to get you those specs later) ApexI Power FC, Datalogit, HKS Twin Spark, Innovative Wideband, Greddy compression tube, Greddy Front mount inter cooler, 550cc and 850cc bored to 1300cc injectors (I think thats what I was told) 3" Turbo back exhaust. I am sure there is a bunch more stuff I am forgetting.
Regards,
Kevin

An interesting find, indeed, Kevin. Thanks for remembering this old account and reactivating it. Considering the time that has passed, I kicked your count up a bit for a "semi-legacy" member.
