'93 Mazda RX-7 R1. The car is in good condition and runs great. It has a clean title and carfax. There are a few minor blemishes in the paint and body, but over all its very good. All systems work perfectly. No A/C or power steering for weight savings and road feel. 93k miles on the chassis and 39k miles on the motor and transmission.

All work (besides exhaust) has been done by myself. I'm an ASE Master Tech, not a shade tree mechanic. I set it up as a great weekend car and track toy. I only got the chance to bring it to the track twice this year. It had never been tracked previous to those two days. I'm also not a very aggressive or abusive driver. (I'm still on the orig. clutch on my WRX with 25+ track days and 80k miles)

wow, sorry to hear that you have to sell it. im sure there's a good reason.

seeing the car first hand and in action, i must say it is in prestine condition. the work under the hood is super clean and the car runs and pulls strong. Pete and Paddy know their stuff, and put nothing but the best parts and craftsmanship into the car. really good guys all around.

good luck on the sale, and again, im sorry you have to sell it. what's next for ya? WRX first, LS1 R1 second. judging by your taste, i'm sure it's gonna be nice and fast.

 

yes, +2 for the car. beautifuly built with all the care in the world and no corners were cut. everything was done right on this car. i hope it goes to a good home, because it sure is coming from one!

what's next Pete?

 

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm consolidating for now and I'm just going to keep the WRX.

 

good luck with the sale, but put your flamesuit on. Joey just had a rash of insults for his car.

 

Any flames will be reported to the moderators.

 

But ... but ... but ... it's got no soul!!!!


Looks nice man, I wish I had your interior. Good luck dude.

 

how do you get the stock gauges working with the ls1?

 

The fuel gauge was the easiest. The tach was second. The rotary tach uses a signal that is the same as a 4 cylinder. The LS1 uses half of a V8 (ask the GM engineers why) so that was just one connection. I tapped a port on the block and installed the Mazda oil press. sender and then ran a wire to the front harness connection. I bought an adapter that threaded into the cylinder head water jacket and installed the mazda sender and ran another wire. I used a Dakota Digital speedometer conversion box to change the GM signal to a Mazda signal. It came with instructions.

I had someone come and look at the car today. His impressions can be read over on NASIOC: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/sho...35&postcount=12

 

Clever, you really did it right!

 

btw: good luck with the sale.

 

I tried doing all the same stuff and in the mess of wires that is my harness, it just didn't seem to work out. So I bought all Autometer stuff. Which is sitting on a shelf



You don't show up often but when you do, you're on a damn roll

 

Link doesn't work. Good luck w/ sale.

 

looks good, would you accept any trades?

 

The car is sold. The new owner is flying in to Logan tomorrow and driving it home to NJ. Thanks for looking and keeping the flames to a minimum.

 

congrats. that didnt take long at all.

 

No, it didn't! I'm very surprised and happy that it sold so quickly and easily. Now I'll just be sad when its gone.

 

holy sh*t. that was wicked quick. congrats Pete. it was a good run!

 

argh not another of these turd gens in jersey...lol was it sold complete?
wonder if hes friends with 2muchpwr?

 

Tell the buyer to post here so I can sweat his car when it comes to NJ.

 

No, hes considering the tires and he has first shot at them. I'm keeping the seats for my next car.

 

yo dude. yes he's friends with me. he came to our last autocross on the 8th just to check out my car. i gave him a ride in it and of course he loved it. then when i saw this complete car for sale, i sent him this PM:

hey luigi, he posts here and i'm sure you'll see his car at another event. you met him when you came to see my car at the event on the 8th. he has that cobra kit car.

 

Chris is a good guy, and I think he made a good decision. He came down and went for a ride in mine, and definitely came away impressed with what these cars can do. Every time I drive it I remember how much fun it is. The buyer I'm working a deal with right now has promised to finish what I don't have time for and use it like it should be, so I'm happy right now. I'm sure I'll be sad when the sale is complete... I guess I'll have to figure out what to change the name of my website to.

 

Chris cheated, he was supposed to build his FD, lol. I would have done the samething if I had the money. Maybe I should sell my FD in hopes that someone will sell another clean example, we'll see.
