Hi my names Curtis, last name is my username. I've never owned a RWD car, rotary or Mazda. I am buying an 87 Rx7 GXL, with 76,000 miles I think. All stock, only bad thing is a scratch on the driver side door and faded paint but its old so I expect that. I will post pics, once I pick it up in 3 days.

 

Welcome,

That is some seriously low mileage. Good luck with the car. Spend some time reading the FAQ threads to learn more about the car, maintenance and mods.

 

Thanks, I know, you should see what the engine bay looks like. The plastic shines like new. I will definitely do some reading

 

Congrats on your RX-7. With a car with type of milage, I would maintain it well and keep it oem that way it stays running. Looking forward to some pics.

 

The engine will stay OEM, but suspension and wheels will not. Should have the car tomorrow or Monday

 

I'm a newbie also, so from one newbie to another congrats on the car.

 

Im in the same boat you are, new to rotary's and new to FR cars, ive been doing alot of research and am slowly getting more familiar, try getting some books from the library hanes is a really good manual. Oh yea and i own an 87 turbo ii engine and tranny haha no shell yet. but getting one once the motors rebuilt.

 

Welcome I am also a new person

 

hey guys! i also am new to the rotary motor. I was into lifted trucks and old muscle but i just got my first rx7 and let me tell you, i was missing out! this thing is incredible. I have been doing so much research and racking my brain to learn as much as i can, so congrats to the new owners!

 

Congrats on the pick up I too am looking forward to owning my first rx7 aswell

 

welcome guys I highly recommend checking out some rotary websites like aaroncake.net rx7city.com and sterlingmetalworks.com. really helped me out with learning the basics when i got my first rotary.

 

faded paint and a scratch? of the 7 rx7's I have owned only two ran when I bought them

 

thanks for the info man!

 

Thanks

lol

Got it today, just electrical problems(Sun roof won't open, wipers only work on one setting and headlights don't go down) and the front defrost doesn't work. Pictures tomorrow

 

ahh man the electronics on the 2nd gens are a nightmare.

 

Congrats from one newbie to another. Just picked up my 87 GXL last weekend. Now i got to get it running smooth (rough idle, possible torqe converter problem), then its time to start upgrading suspension and swap a 5 speed in.

 

Finally some pictures, I took em awhile ago but went camping this weekend and have been work a lot.
It has a flat tire now, so once I get that fixed. I will wash it and have a decent photo shoot with some ok pictures

The pics suck, I don't have a point and shoot and just hurryed these with a DSLR.

OEM as ****






The scratch

wow....that is CLEAN AS HELL aside from that scratch. touch that up man. looks amazing.

oh and shave that damn dealer logo by the Mazda logo haha. i hate dealerships for that.

 

Thanks, it shouldn't be too hard

I know right, bastards

 

I'm new here as well .. Congrats on the new (to you) ride!!

 

Forgot to add ... my vert has 76,000 miles on the clock.
