That's my fault; I completely forgot to give a price. $500 for the wheels and tires or $400 for the wheels alone.

Dude I'll sell it to you for $120 just because its taking up space.

If you guys go cruising let me know. I'm down to cruise the fc while I still have it!

oem wheels

Thought I'd offer to my local friends first. I sold my fc so I don't need them.

I have a nice set of OEM 88 Turbo II fc 5 lug wheels...$75.00.

Sweet man as soon as I get the car I'll have you come check it out. O and it needs a new slave cylinder, never had a rx7 so are they pricey an hard to replace on a rx7?

No and no. I even think autozone stocks them. Don't waste your time rebuilding it though. Do it right the first time and just replace it with a new part. I am a MazdaTrix and Racing Beat "dealer", as well as a couple other sources, so I can get parts at dealer cost. Let me know if you'd like me to get it for you. I'd be happy to help you replace it as well.

Thanks rx7onfire, yeah that would be great I'll let ya know when I get the car. How much would one cost through you? And yeah I would appreciate it a lot if you helped me put it on an maybe share some rotary knowledge with me. I've always wanted one and would like to know more about them.

No problem. I've been working on them a long time. I have lots of builds under my belt, and I have owned multiples of each RX-7 generation. Feel free to pick my brain anytime, I love to talk rotaries, keeps my mind fresh too haha. Anyhow, my name is Sean. I'll get pricing for you on that slave tonight. What year FC are you needing it for? I'm fairly certain they didn't change between S4 and S5's, but the Turbo models are different.

I gotta say, despite the engine troubles with one of the guys, that was probably the most fun I've had in years. And hey, it got me out of my cave to meet new people, so that's good. Have a nice blurry grainy picture:

But really, I had a ton of fun, even with four fc's pulled over on the side of I-25 haha. And it was cool looking at Seans fd. that thing is beautiful.

We'll have to pick a date sometime in the future next time so you have time to make plans, might make it easier for some of you guys with busy schedules to make it. If 4 FC's was this awesome, i can't imagine what it would be like with even more!

I was glad to meet some of the new rotary guys last night. Still gotta meet some of you others as well. I'll try to get some of the veterans to come out of the woodworks too, hahaha. I'm going to try and get my spare stock trans in the FD this weekend so I can hold up my end of the deal and let a couple of you guys drive it like I offered. I made tentative plans to go ahead and get her in the paint shop first thing next month so I can get my engine and all my other go fast stuff in and have it buttoned up and tuned by early spring. Any time any of you guys want to come by and shoot the **** about RX7s like last night just let me know. I'm happy to help you all with your cars too. Oh, here's a couple pictures of some of my goodies. These are a few weeks old, I'll get some new ones up of everything put together too.

Last was was a lot of fun! Still sucks my car had to break down for awhile there.
It was pretty badass seeing 4 FC's cruising together though
Hopefully a few more guys can show up next time. I'd love to meet some other fellow rotary heads.

Sean that setup is going to be awesome in your FD! Can't wait to see it come together.

Yeah I'm definitely excited for it to be done. I meant to post these pics as well. The first pic shows the same front end I have (the carbon fibre one hanging in the garage) but I've got a v-mount I/C setup not the front mount. 2nd pic is the side skirts I have and the color wheels I'm going for. Third pic shows the rear diffuser I've got. I'm very likely going to buy the wheels Philip (DamianSoul) is selling in a post above, which are a bronze five spoke. Should look good.
