He says that The clutch is fine, its actually a heat shield on the downpipe that is rubbing against the firewall going uphill and on turns
Car has only a few problems:
1. Starter is weak, sometimes takes a few tries
2. Clutch is slipping a little in first.
3. Passenger door grip is loose
4. Still running on a very safe and rich tune by rx7store
But otherwise it has no problems on cold/hot starts (except the starter but thats not engine related), no burning oil or coolant, no smoke, and clean title never been wrecked.

nice ride! but did you check the compression on the engine? did you verify are the turbos putting out the right boost? Also, the price is within the market. Good luck with the purchase :-) you will love the car
i havent been up there to see it yet so i havent been able to check out anything myself, just wanted to make sure it would be worth the trip. i live in nc. i will probably traveling up there next weekend to test drive and everything.
ok got some answers to some questions i asked.
The turbos are non-sequential so there is no 10-8-10 pattern. Full boost by 4500 rpms but the car has a 9000 rpm redline.The conversion was done legit with block-off plates and solenoid removal.
The car pulls great vacuum around -400mm hg at 950 rpm idle (You can set the idle lower easily, but with such an aggressive streetport it will not be a comfortable idle cold starting anything lower than 800rpm). The car is rust free and never winter driven so no salt damage either.
He said that the noise wasnt the clutch, it was the downpipe rubbing against the heatshield on uphill turns from a stop(i can fix that)
The interior passenger door handle is fixed also.
capable of 400 hp

Perfect. I don't remember if the car has a oil catch can, but when you're facing the engine on the right hand side where the oil dip stick is on top of it towards the firewall there is usually a breather for the oil. Is the car leaking oil during high boost there? Other than that just make sure the synchros and the bearings of the trany aren't finished!!
