looking for the owner of this RX7

i recently bought a car from a kid that got it at in auction in august, its a 86' sport model with a s4 TII swap, there was front end damage to the passenger corner (bumper and fender) the car is red with GTU wheels, flawless gray interior, a crazy alarm system, a S5 turbo with a white heat shield, the A/C compressor looks new, the coils look new, the water overflow was painted black along with the alternator, it had the black sport spoiler, a custom borla exhaust system, a stage 2 or 3 clutch, A HKS looking air intake filter. all the emissions are still there as well. I think that about sums it up. Any questions just ask. Thanks for your help, this is in Washington by the way, The kid thought it was possibly Clayton, Wa. dont know if thats an actual place.

No, I think it was Clayton's car. Gosh why can't I think of his forum name right now... Ahh it's ZeroDrift. Sounds like his car. He's in the Olympia area I think. Recently was cut off by a dumb driver and tagged his front end and gave the car up.

i brought it home, hooked up some intercooler piping deflooded immediately, knowing that the previous kid has turned it over who knows how many times, and started first try! I drove it yesterday, freaking fast! pulls hard. it went to the body shop yesterday to begin the work, the body man is a friend of mine and he wants the borla mufflers off the exhaust so we made a trade

Talking

Yo! That was my old car!

Well- when I 'sold' the car to the insurance, the buyback price was over $1700. The car had everything minus the aftermarket audio equipment as the insurance would not cover the value it. Everything else was intact.

I had left several notes in the car mentioning what the car needed and my contact #. You may still find one of em in the steering wheel (behind the emblem). I have most EVERY receipt from the original window sticker back in August of 1985 to current. The engine was very strong, and the car was reliable and quick. Man I miss my old car. Defiantly beats the socks off of my 1999 Subaru Impreza with some crazy engine and turbo build. Anyways- I'd keep the suspension that is on the car. KYB's would be a serious downgrade.

I'm located in Olympia WA, and of course I'd love to see my old car again! I'll PM you my contact info!
