rx-7s rock

I saw a red FD sitting at Crystal Lake Brake and Tire(can't remember the exact name) I was more excited about seeing the car than where it was exactly. Anyones car?

How long ago was this? There is a rx-7 that has been sitting at a shop in Crystal Lake for about a year now, its a crying shame.

^ Same car in question. I asked the guy about that car. He got a fresh rebuild and port job on the engine ( he bought the car with a blown engine) but hasn't had time to finish the install on the engine from what he said. He has ~$8k in it, but the hood and headlight covers need a paintjob, they're faded bad. He really just wants someone else to buy it off him. I may try to get my one friend to buy it off him, though (my firend owned an RX-3 back in the day until the engine blew and he couldn't get the engine apart for some reason). The guy that owns the shop owns the car, just FYI.

Sounds like the car I drove past. If I had the money laying around I would snap it up...BUT ITS RED!

edit: I saw it on Christmas Eve.

I really wish that I could get it, but after he told me that it was a fresh rebuild, all my hopes disappeared of ever affording it on a high school students budget (even though some kids at my school could just convince their parents that they want it and have it parked in front of the house tomorrow). The interior looks in immaculate shape for its age. Also, it's a '93 with the non-reinforced wheels on it (I belive).

Also, not to hijack the thread, but anyone here live in Crystal Lake? I know of 3 different FC's that are recent additions, two convertibles (red s4, and white s5) and a white s4 coupe that's for sale.

That car has been sitting at that shop for almost 4 years. I don't think I would want a new motor that has been sitting for that long.

I live about 30 minutes from Crystal Lake. Only rotary in the family these days is an RX-8.

The car, yes, but the rebuild was installed feb. of last year. Honestly, if I had the money, it'd be mine so fast it's not even funny. I just don't like the words "insurance" and "twin turbo" in the same sentence.

Well someone should buy it and start driving it!

Falcoms

here, somebody buy it and I'll drive it!

Falcoms

^ Wha? Nobody wants to buy a car to have a local person (i.e. me) nurture back to health?

UPDATE: The guy that owns the red FD got it finished and was driving it on Sunday when it was about 60*. Really babying it with the fresh streetported rebuild, though. He probably wouldn't mind selling it though.

I did notice that the car moved one spot over from where it typically sat. Glad to see another FD on the road.

Falcoms

That's what I said. If anyone's interested, I do belive he's still got it for sale, so I could get a firm price on it for the forum.

Falcoms

Okay guys, it's official, the FD is for sale, asking price $10k. Fresh streetported rebuild by banzai racing (IIRC, but it def. was a pro rebuild shop that is commonly talked about on the forum). Only thing wrong with it is that it has the turbo ducts disconnected to keep from boosting because it only has ~200mi on the rebuild. The hood, headlight covers, mirrors, and rear bumper have the clearcoat gone. VIN is JM1FD331XP0207672. I have pics I'll post here shortly.

Also, its a standard trans. I think it's a touring model, but IDK my FD's very well as of yet...

Needs paint asap. I'd buy it for $8K

Falcoms

I'm just posting it here for the guy that owns it. He's not a big rotary nut, just got a great deal on it since it had a blown engine and all. Typically he works on the big V8's and such. I think he's pretty firm on the $10k, and with the condition it's in, I'd say it's a steal because the interior looks just immaculate from what I could see.

Hyperite

How many miles on the chasis, do you know?

Whats the exact address to where this car's at? I have some business to take care of in that area...

Falcoms

It's the exhaust shop next to Mr. A's at the intersection of Rt. 14 and Dole ave. It's rear bumper is facing the road. Just go inside and ask for the owner.
