CA New member here from northern CA. 1986 gxl





Hello everyone,

I have liked RX7's for quite some time now but never got around to owning one. I have had 2 subarus (both the GC years one a 96 and one a 99). Then I had a 240sx for a few months but it was to modded and set up to be a drift car so i need to sell it or trade it. So I was lucky and traded it for this beautiful car + 400 cash he gave to me on top.

This car is in amazing shape inside and out, pretty sure it has been garaged for awhile and owned by an older guy who took care of it for most of its life. Original paint on the outside was pretty good when i picked it up, with only 1-2 small tiny dents. Then a few days after i spent around 6 hours detailing and clay bared the whole car pretty much two times. Now it shines and feels amazing. Not to mention the clay bar also took out some scuff marks and scratches i thought wouldn't come out.

Interior didn't have a radio, but i kept my radio from my previous car which i am still trying to install now (many wire problems) so me and my friend are just going to rewire all new speakers through the car since normal wiring will not work. While trying to install the radio all the interior lights stopped working as well, and we only touched the wires for the stereo, i researched this and a couple other people have had this problem as well, so i just have to double check every fuse and everything i guess.

Main reason I wanted to trade was because this was ALL STOCK . and in good shape, which i know is very rare now a days. Blue leather interior is nice and only a tear in driver seat. It had new tires to! So far only thing I have done is suspension to lower it some, not slammed, but just a nice riding height Next on my list is just to redo spark plugs most likely and maybe if i have extra money just a K&N air filter or S5 lights.

Hope to be on this site more and meet people around me with rx7's. People from Florida as well since i am probably moving there in may.

images didn't work in first post, lets try that again.

OH, the car only had 112k original miles on it as well and it seems to be running very strong still, just the throwout bearing for the tranny might need to be replaced sometime in the future, making a small noise now nothing bad though.
