Good:
Touring
73000 miles
Good compression
Boosts good
Good body.
Mostly stock

Bad:
no 5th gear (no grinding like a bad synkro (sp), just nothing there)
Rear bumper is burnt
Needs some miner body work and paint (there is some plastic in the fender that needs to be ground out and done right, nothing major)
Dash is painted red

Pm or call me if you are interested, I’m not sure how much to ask for it, so I will consider offers.

I live close to ODU in Norfolk, and will be home on the evenings if you want to look at it

edit: see this thread for more info on the car
https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/new-fd-questions-727214/
I have decided to ask $10,000 for the car, some might say that that is a bit high, but I’m gong on the fact that a roller can go for $5-6,000 and one in good shape for $15-20,000 so I’m shooting for the middle. If I don’t get that here I’m going to e-bay it.
I had several people ask for better pictures of the damage and of the inside, I will get that up on Sunday (I’m kind of busy this week), but I will say that the inside is good (except for the dash), with no missing pieces. And most people would not see the plastic in the fender if it were not chipped.
I am not considering trades.

good luck, hope you're in it for the long haul then
when i sold my FD it took about 9 months and I sold it for $9k
and it was in much better shape than yours
so be prepared for ALOT of flakers and lowballers

I'd say that car is worth maybe around 6-7k and especially since you disclosed the price that you paid 3200 for it.

Ok it looks like I do not understand something when it comes to the value on the fd.
I was going on what I was told, I will reconsider and post a new price.

The cheaper they get, the cheaper the people that buy them get... the cars end up getting sub-par parts and hack mods. It's a depressing downward spiral.

They'll have to pry my unmolested FD from my cold dead hands... once the engine is back in, of course.

Ambient temperature theory: CONFIRMED

I started up the 90 black FC that I've been having coolant seal issues with.
Nothing, no smoke and no bubbles in the coolant.
So once the ambient air temp is over 70 degrees the issue disappears, which leads me to believe the seal maybe ok but one of the housings maybe warped.
Either way guess I'll be running it for at least half the autocross season.

In other news, I'm in the process of picking up an '01 BMW 325i

Motor now has 7k miles on it built by the guys at rx7store.com in 2005. Tunned by Steve. Running at 11psi with all supporting mods from clutch to fuel to intake, IC, 99spec turbos and exhaust. Body all stock except for a R1 lip. ill get to the details later. Its a 1993 touring with 83k on chassi. Im working on fabricating a better duct for the greddy smic and a smaller battery tray.

my focus willl be on suspension, wheels and maybe another tune at PFsupercars for higher boost.

If you meant the 18th yeah that was me. And it was pretty dead by that point, we were all around the corner eye-fondling the AC Cobra that stopped in....

I really wanted to see some more RX-7 Guys... You should come next Friday! I'm trying to get off a little bit early on Friday's from now on so I can make it every week...
