Yes I know it's a dumb question, but I'm no mechanic. I am looking to buy my first ever RX7, found a decent one finally, and I have asked the seller for details on the car but am very impatient.

So...

Does anyone know if this is a turbo RX7 from this pic: https://i.imgur.com/ktdUo9I.jpg

Looks like a dirty, RHD vintage Red RX7...probably a 94 or later and probably a non-'R' model. Now with a cheezy re-paint in silver, or the owner transplanted sheet metal from another car. I see HKS intake kit, and an under-driven alternator, and missing the battery box. But still has emissions and the stock intercooler.
ALL 3rd Gen RX7s were orignially equipped with sequential twin turbos. Looks like those are still there too.
What's your definition of "decent"?

Really? Looks both molested and neglected to me. Obviously it's RHD, but how do you know it's JDM?

and probably the efini logo upfront and that its rhd but someone could have just converted it lol

yes the turbos are there but they are shy .. they are hiding look on the exhaust side , which is the driver side on that car . under the intake tubes , and under the air pump look deep in there behind the heat shields and you will see the baby twins.

but before you buy said car , make sure that everything is in order . make sure you are getting the correct boost . and I wouldnt buy it without a compression check . look up how to do the compression check

Agree'd. It does look a bit used and abused. I will never understand how FD's can demand such high resale value even when in need of severe work.
