I finally have enough posts to reply here...

Looks like the guy hasn't taken down the ad, but I was the lucky purchaser of this car. Working out a few kinks, but overall the car is in immaculate condition, especially the interior. Already driven it back from Wenatchee, up past Deception Pass and back, and a weekend trip to Spokane in it last weekend.

Very happy to have an RX again, it's been too many years... but well worth the wait!

Don't care for the red interiors myself, but that is an amazing find! Congrats to you, and welcome (back?) to the Rx7Club!

You're in Shoreline, going to have to get you to come to some meets, and Lloyds BBQ in August!!!

Thanks guys! I'm a new member to the forum, haven't owned an RX since I was a teenager back in the 90's! But very glad to be an owner again. It's great to have so much information on this forum, it sure beats only having a Hayne's manual to figure out what the hell I'm doing!

Looking forward to meeting you guys at the future meets BBQ and RX-7s, sound like a winning combo to me!

Looks like all it is missing is the rubber strip by the rear marker. Beautiful!

Haha, I didn't notice that until a couple weeks ago! Yeah, will have to get a replacement one of these days.

Unfortunately I was driving home 2 days ago and something broke... I now have one front wheel facing forward and the other pointing to the side quite a bit. She's gonna be out of commission for a little while till I can get that "straightened out".

probably just a tie rod end. Easy enough. Check the parts out and let me know if I can help.

The problem ended up being the passenger side ball joint. I probably knocked it just enough the other day when I hit a small pothole.

Anyways, that's a bit more than I'd like to handle at this time so she's gonna have to go to the shop! Unfortunately this might prevent me from making the BBQ this weekend...
