Good Morning. Its a sad day but the time has come for me to sell my RX7. I bought the car from Fritz Flynn in 2019. The original sales ad is here: Original Sales Ad The car was relocated to Florida where it was driven regularly and modified. The car is bein offered with a clean Massachusetts title and is sitting at 70,900 miles on the ODO.
In June of 2021 I deployed to the United Kingdom for work and did not take the car with me. The car was kept stored indoors at Full Detail Automotive, a rotary specialist who's owner is active on this forums. From June of 2021 to June of 2024 Mike at FDA did extensive work on the vehicle towards turning it into a showcar level FD. My design intent with the vehicle was "OEM +" and Mike executed beautifully. The car really is a work of art. The car is very streetable while still pumping out enough power to be very fast and fun. I don't have the dyno sheet from Pencil Tuning so dont hold me to these numbers but I'm told it's sitting around 335 hp and close to 400 ft lbs of torque.
Why I'm selling: Unfortunately the car doesn't fit into my life anymore. I expected to move back to Florida post deployment and buy a house, but life led me back to Massachusetts and an area where I don't intend to buy.

The Good:
Low mileage SSM hardtop
The engine bay is a work of art. A ton of time and effort went into routing, tucking, and hiding the turbo lines, air conditioning lines, cabling, etc.
The 94 plastics interior is complete, in great condition, and exceedingly hard to put together at this point.
The SSM paint under the wrap is good but not great.
The Bad:
Fairly certain the alternator is not working. This just started and I haven't had time to address it.
The wheels rub at full lock. The rub is not terrible, but it is there. The fenders could use a roll.
Note: I do not have pictures of the underside of the car currently but will work to get them. The underside is rust free and generally in great shape.
There are almost certainly things I've missed while writing this but this is a good faith representation of a great car that's damn near perfect in my eyes. I also wanted to paint it but we never managed to work it into the schedule. I will supply the buyer with receipts for all of the work that's occurred in the last three years. I understand the price I'm putting on this car is a lot of money, but hopefully people will be able to see the value there as I do.
Damn, GLWS! Beautiful FD. I wish I could buy your hood and would pay a pretty penny for it but you're probably not parting it out. Hope this goes to a good home!
Thanks for the kind words. The wrap is a dark green, I unfortunately don't remember the name of the color. The intent was to paint it Jet Green Metallic from Porsche, but c'est la vie.
so... is the car white under the wrap? Can you include about 40 more photos? I'm interested to add her to my collection but $80k? I'm thinkin', with 70k miles, maybe 50... I'm cheap Got a guy locally with an FD trying to sell it to me for 40 with 20k miles on it but his is stock stock... which is cool... oh, and his is a sweet touring with the bose and all that jazz but yikes, it's an auto so... ug... at least it's not a rhd! .... maybe i'll get both if my wife won't divorce me and if i can get yours for the right price good luck - beautiful car
The care is silver under the wrap. The engine bay was painted white in preparation for the car eventually being painted green. Sorry I didn't clarify that.
As for the power numbers, again, I could have just been fed a line by the tuner, but the car made 310 hp before the BNR turbos and the larger ID injectors went in.
As for the price, I know it's a big number and the ask is aggressive. Worst case I just keep it and sort winter storage.

When we did our sequential vs non sequential video a couple years ago in its original form, it made 275 on 10lbs (pretty sure 10lbs) on a dyno jet on a cold day. We didn't log tourqe that day.
On our dynapack on a hot day after everything was done It made ~330 at 14lbs. A ~55whp increase. I will pull the graph on Tuesday and post it along with a hyper detailed video of the set up.
Its one of the best cars we've ever done, second only to a GT3 we finished earlier this year. It's a super close second as well. Duncan gave us the opportunity to "just do it" with this and really showcase what we're capable of when it comes to engine bay presentation.
Build opportunities like this one don't come around even once a year. Truly a rare experience and an overall phenomenal car.
i do have this picture from our Instagram story but i will get the rest of the content on Tuesday.
Thanks Mike. I'm having trouble editing the post so please whomever looks at this thread please take the power numbers from Mike's post not mine. I'm not sure how I ended up so far off the torque number but lets call that a massive error on my part.
Morning all. It's time to revisit selling this car now that spring has come. I'm adjusting the price down to a far more realistic $60,000.
The electrical issue has been diagnosed to a bad alternator. The car will still be sold as is. I'm having difficulty updating the original post to change numbers but will work on it, if there is a mod that can help me unlock the original post to edit it id appreciate it
