What u think of this FD

I've been a member for awhile (used to be known as danjros but couldnt get the password sent to email for some reason) and still have yet to own an FD. I am always looking and came upon this:

94 rx7

It has a new motor installed at RP Performance. I am going to check it out tomorrow.
Anyone happen to know any history of this car? I did a Carfax and it came up clean.

What you think?

Dan

I've had a little busy work done on my car at R.P performance and everytime i've gone they have done some stupid **** to my car. First time, they left a bolt off of my alternator(when they replaced my old one) And i also gave them a simple intake pipe to put on for me because i just don't have the time and they messed that up and couldn't figure out how to do it. They also smoke a lot of bud, maybe why they mess up a lot?! I also had a rotor kit put on my car there which came with brake lines, and i don't know where my lines went and they don't know either but i got charged for the installation.

I say think twice and be careful about what you get from them.

update:
Went and saw the car
The engine is running very well.... Started easy and no hessitation to it. Also, it has the much loved Racing Beat dual exhaust.. which if you want to be nice and get the car, you can trade me plus some cash for my greddy lol. Also it has a freshly recharged AC which blows nice and cold. Makes me miss mine... a lil

Bad Points:
Body: It has a nice ding in the passenger rear fender that will need to be addressed and the usual little scuffs here and there
Interior: a few small pieces need to be replaced but overall in good condition.

Overall it is a worthy car that just needs a little TLC in the looks department. It doesnt have any rust or major issues. I would deffinatly go test drive it yourself and see what you think but do not take it for the 15k asking price... I would say 13-3.5 would be fair considering the engine is brand new. Let me know if you need any help since Im down the street.

I agree about RP, I had a seriosu problem with them as well..that's why it was only 1, because I never went back.


As for this car....for the buyer (and anyone else). I know someone who can do very good body work and full repaints for an unbeatable price (did my car and ask ErnieT, turbodrx7, Ray @ PFS about it). All I'd ask for is an appropriate finders fee and you realizing you have to take it where the place is.
