Description:

Hey everyone,

I'm currently in the market for an FD. I'm looking for a stock or OEM+ build. I would prefer most mods to be reliability mods, or at least revertable to stock if so desired. I don't mind rebuilt motors as long as they were rebuilt by a reputable shop (OEM spec, street port, or half/full bridge are all fine). I'm located in SoCal, but I'm willing to travel or arrange for shipping.

Some must-haves are:

  • 5 Speed Manual
  • No sunroof/rear wiper 
  • No rust/dents/other body damage
  • No crazy body kits (looking for OEM or OEM+; 99 spec conversion is ok)
  • No accident history/clean title
Here are some additional things I'm looking for but aren't deal breakers:
  • Montego Blue or Black highly prioritized
  • Black leather interior highly prioritized, cloth is also fine
  • Recent compression test, or willing to have one done
  • Having service records is a huge plus
  • Single turbo vs OEM sequential
  • OMP deleted or designated 2 stroke oil tank
  • Prefer to be less than 75k miles, but anything under 100k is ok
  • Would prefer LHD to RHD
  • Would prefer a car with no wing/spoiler, and no mounting holes
  • Would prefer a 94 or 95 over 93
  • Passes smog would be nice
Thanks in advance! I've been wanting an RX-7 for a long time, and now I'm in a position where I can start actively looking to pick one up. Please let me know if you or anyone you know has one for sale!

Yeah man. Best of luck. That one is gorgeous. I was lucky enough that the guy who won the eBay auction on my car decided to back out of his purchase. If I were you I’d harass that dealership until they say it’s gone

And the FD has been acquired! Picked up a 50k mile black on black '94 R2 from Florida and drove her home. Basically 100% stock besides leather seats and a head unit/sub in the trunk. She ran flawlessly the entire 2700 miles home

This thread can be closed now, thank you to everyone who tried to help!
