Genuine M2 Performance Carbon Fiber Airbox Intake for a 1992-2002 FD3S 3rd-gen RX-7. Rare period-correct piece. No yellowing or heat damage with a very good gloss finish that has only been cleaned, not repolished. There's a small area where the gloss was rubbed off as seen in the pictures. No cracks, and all the tabs are in place. I'd say it's in very good condition for its age. The filters are probably original and although I cleaned them with K&N cleaner, I did not oil them and they should probably be replaced.
This will work for stock twin setups and would be pretty ideal for offset V-mount intercooler setups to keep the hot air separated.
I think they stopped making these in 2004. It's one of those very rare period-correct parts that actually still perform well-enough for a modern build.
It's already packaged in a double box and ready to ship out. 24x18x10"inch at 10lbs, from Zip code 97232, if you'd like to get an idea of shipping. It is also listed on eBay, which will tell you an accurate shipping price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/168288959088
Hahaha, very funny.
On the contrary, I got way too many messages at once, and I wasn't able to get shipping quotes with enough time for buyer to make a decision and pay before going down the list. I think everyone knows that Facebook Marketplace isn't quite the "ideal" place to sell parts.
So yes, everyone, I had posted this on Facebook a couple days ago for $200 OBO (and I got a LOT of better offers). So I acknowledged my mistake, apologized to every single person that wrote me, and then I did what I thought was the most fair thing to do at that point and I posted this properly to eBay.
Maybe you are upset at me that I pulled it and upped the price, and I can understand that. I don't know if you were interested, but if you were, at least now you have a proper chance to get this. But if you're just bitter that someone is trying to charge a fair price for a rare part and run a fair sale for it, then I'll take that. You obviously know more than I knew about this part, so you would know that $200 is an absolute steal in this condition. I'll point out that there were a few people who wrote me and replied that I was selling this for way too little (thanks for looking out for me), but most people were all too eager to take advantage of me before I knew what this part was.
So, again, I'm offering this on eBay, already packaged, with a fair shot for everyone to buy this, along with another apology to everyone and an acknowledgment that I didn't do this right the first time around. And if you can't accept that, then I don't know what else I can do for you.
I can only speak for myself, but I'm not upset. It's a nice piece and certainly worth more than 2 benjamins.
I use to admin this site and also was a lead here in the classifieds-- funny enough, Ebay links are against club rules so this thread should never have been approved in the first place

Thanks Goodfella. I appreciate that.
I searched for the marketplace rules, but couldn't find any sticky threads or any clear list of dos/don'ts. I found a summary of the rules on Google and it said that you must list photos and a price, but didn't see anything forbidding a link. I can remove the eBay link if needed.

I appreciate all offers, thank you. However, the best offer is well above $200 at this point. Reimbursing for shipping cost would be mandatory, and I'd also appreciate covering a PayPal/Venmo fee if applicable. I listed the package dimensions and my Zip code if you want to get an idea of the shipping cost.
Somebody cut out the bottom of the box where it bolts to the frame rail
Oh. You’re right.
I wonder if they were trying to run a duct from the bumper?
Whelp. Seller. I’d probably update the post / listing to let people know this has been modified and they’ll have to figure out how to secure this thing themselves.
I’d chime in and say it’s worth more than $200 - but I don’t think it brings $650 plus shipping, plus fees either.
Why not just take the highest offer you received and call it a day? Good for you and good for them.
Either way, all the best.
That's exactly what I'm doing, selling it for the best offer I get in the next few days.

You're correct. I can't find many pictures online, but here's one that was selling (for $650) on RX7Parts.com a while back that shows the difference. I imagine they thought it would increase flow, or maybe they had a duct of sorts. It's nothing visible, and although not ideal, I don't think it would impede mounting it. It certainly wouldn't be loose in the engine bay.

Not to be rude. But you had no idea of what the part is or the value. You come here from Facebook, assuming for a more educated take on what you have.
A long standing member, that took the time to look at your listing, makes an eagle eye observation.
Your response, assuming to assuage a potential buyer is to say “nah, it’s fine”.
Buddy - the ONLY mounting points on that thing are gone. It will only be held in place by the tension on the hoses connecting it.
Get what you can for it, but don’t all of the sudden become an expert because you’ll pocket a few hundred dollars more than you thought and WAY more than you originally listed it for.
As it stands, it’s a cool piece with no mounts and filters that need to be replaced. You happen to know the part number for filters from K&N a buyer will need? Are you sure K&N still makes them?
At the very least you should probably break out a ruler and measure them (and the opening diameter) and see if you can’t locate them on the K&N site.

Hey now, don't be mean. I've put nothing but polite correspondence out here. I never said "nah it's fine" as you quote me. You say "not to be rude" and then respond kind of rudely, calling me buddy and stuff.
I acknowledged exactly what Narfle said and quoted him, and told him he's right. (Narfle, maybe I should have thrown in a "thank you.") I don't see where you are finding fault. I even tracked down a photo for everyone to see.
It's correct that when I posted it on Facebook I did not know the value, but when I came "here" to rx7club.com, I had a better idea of what it was and the value.
I am going to get what I can for it, in a designated time frame. That's exactly what I'm doing. That's the point of an auction.
Maybe you don't like my "buy it now" price, and that's okay. My starting bid is $400, so anyone is welcome to bid. Are you upset that I'd like to get more than $200 for it? Are you upset that RX-7s go for much more than they did 15 years ago? I don't know what to tell you.
You're coming off real hot on me and projecting a lot that isn't accurate. I'm a seasoned car hobbyist that predates F&F, but my friend I am only a hobbyist. I did reach out to an expert friend of mine before posting here, and he told me more about it. Someone who has one that's not in as good of shape as this one.
I didn't come here for an "educated take on it." I came here because this is where something with more rarity and value should be posted, not on Facebook Marketplace.
I've taken a lot of photos. I'm not hiding anything. I'm happy to get measurements when I get home, if anyone wants them, but you're beating me up for not already doing that. I think you'll find plenty of sellers who are far less honest and clear and far less polite than me.
The air filters are still made by K&N. They are part number RB-0720. The inlet is 2.5"in and 6"in in length, with a total 3.5"in diameter. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/knn-rb-0720
Finally, to everyone else: if there's anyone who is looking for this part, in the condition that it's in, then make your best offer. I'm not looking to get every dime out of this; a fair price is good with me. But as many people have already told me, $200 is probably too low.

Calling you “Buddy” is rude? Ok Pal.
To properly quote you:
”It's nothing visible, and although not ideal, I don't think it would impede mounting it. It certainly wouldn't be loose in the engine bay.”
You don’t think having the ONLY mounting points sawed off would impede mounting it? You think it wouldn’t be loose in the engine bay being secured by hose clamps and only hose clamps?
I know it *sounds* like I’m being rude - but I’m really not. I’m being critical of your assessment. You didn’t mention the mounts cut off initially, because you didn’t know. That’s fair. But don’t downplay it. If I’m off base, ok. But I think you’re trying to paint a rosy picture when confronted with inconvenient facts.
Also, I hope you get all the money for it. Just be accurate about it so the buyer knows what he’s getting.
Yes, I think you're being overly critical, way past the point of just looking out for other members. I'm not painting a rosy picture. I've got good, unedited photos posted and a pretty good description. I acknowledged that it's been cut. Nothing deceitful. This was cut cleanly enough to where it doesn't even look like it was cut. I believe it can still be used without problems. Also, I think it was cut for a reason (like more airflow or clearance or a snorkel, as nobody would spend the time to cut it with the intention to make their life more difficult) so there's also the possibility you are "up-playing" this.
I think there's someone out there who wants to give this imperfect, but still very nice, airbox a forever home. Even with the cut area, I think this will do a great job of filtering air, drawing air separated from the intercooler, and I do not think it's going to fly away when driving.
So, even though MattGold wants this to continue to sit on my parts shelf forever, if someone else likes this airbox and wants to put it on their car, please bid high and bid often.
The part that was cut away secures it into the frame rail. There’s no increase in airflow removing that section. The other side is sandwiched into the OEM cooling fan mount ( those notch’s in the bottom fit into slots). It’s unfortunate that it’s missing quite a lot of the structure. It’s a great candidate to scavenge the parts off of. If you need more pictures to see what is missing I can post some for you.

Thanks for the throwback guys. There's nothing more nostalgic on this forum than a good back and forth "RX7Club Argument"
With that said, it's lame that you posted your ebay link here and are encouraging a bidding war. I am going to report this for sale post with hope that it will be removed. This section isn't for cross posting ads.
I can only speak for myself, but I'm not upset. It's a nice piece and certainly worth more than 2 benjamins.

FWIW,
1) There's no longer an approval process for marketplace posts.
2) I need to find the current rules... The old Classified rules got swept away when the Marketplace replaced it.
I don't have a problem with this Ad but I'm just one voice of many so will consult with my peers.

It's not a bidding war, it's an auction or "or best offer." Pretty common to do.
Also, it's even more lame to be a snitch-*** tattletale narc when I'm not even breaking any posted forum rules.

I disagree, what's even more lame is being too much of a scumbag to own your mistake and sell the part at your original asking.
"bid high and bid often" is inflammatory language that promotes a bidding war. It's quite different than saying something like "Send your best offers". Anyway, considering that you only created an account here to be an opportunist, hopefully you'll move on with your miscreant tactics after your damaged part sells.

Your engine bay looks pretty amazing. Fantastic work.
I will not sell this for $50 so you can scavenge the parts from it, but yes, I will take you up on the offer of a photo(s) to see what's missing. I would appreciate that. Thanks. I would also still offer to measure, scan, or trace the aluminum parts if you're interested in remaking them. It's just a flat piece with some 2.5" pipe welded on, and some smaller OD pipes for the recirculation hoses.

6 years and only 15 posts, most of which are arguing here. Quite an accomplishment and my opportunist statement stands.
If you want to talk about degeneracy, I encourage you to do some
introspection before sounding off on others.
