SOLD. PLEASE LOCK.

Update:
- NO MORE COILOVERS, SOLD COILOVERS! NOW ON SHOCKS/SPRINGS
- Detailed Car, no more oxidation, now has mirror-like finish. There's clear missing on hood..just clean up the hood and you're set.
- Added most recent photo of enginebay.

I can answer any questions and provide any additional photos to make your mind at ease. Thanks guys.

Will only trade for Lexus GS, IS, or Scion XB or something equivalent. I'm looking for a non-modified vehicle now with 4 seats.

This car is mechanically sound and I love it.
Starts up every time and it's the best Nissan SR I've ever owned.
My friend previously owned and built this vehicle and he's never had major issues either.

Great vehicle.

1989 White Mazda RX7 Turbo II with Nissan SR20DET
Car is located in Atlanta

Engine Swap Details
- 230k miles on chassis
- S13 SR20DET swap (Roughly 60k-70k miles when swapped, roughly 25k-30k driven)

- Stock fuel
- 3" exhaust with test pipe and highflow cat (built by TopSpeed)
- 4" midmount FMIC
- Mishimoto radiator with dual shrouded fans
- TOMEI Rocker Arm Stoppers
- Electronic fan controller
- HKS pod filter
- CS catch can
- Steel braided fuel lines

- Optima redtop relocated to rear bin

PASSES ATLANTA EMISSIONS EASILY. It is tested as a rotary-powered RX7, afterall.

Exterior
- 17x9 +25 XXR 522 (Spray Painted Fluorescent Orange)
- Federal SS595 215/45/17 (Fronts) Like new, just mounted July 2012
- Tokico Blue Shocks / TEIN Springs
- Supernow Outer Tie Rods
- Secret Element Inner Tie Rods (lots of angle)
- DTSS Bushings (Not installed, will be included)
- 50-50 weight distribution without corner weighting
- Car weighs 2777 pounds fully wet
Also have stock wheels, will take $500 off if you don't want the wheels.


Legit car, legit build, not half assed.
- All cluster gauges except the boost gauge work like OEM (tach, speedo, fuel, temp, etc).
- Wiring is professional and NOTHING is hardwired.
- Cold start signal works
- Rev limiter works
- Emergency fuel cut works
- It runs and acts like a stock SR in a stock FC.
- Some interior pieces are brand new (from me restoring the vehicle)

Issues (Most are pretty typical of FC RX7's)
- Wipers only work on the medium setting
- Rear wiper doesnt work
- Some of the plastics in the dash (vents, trim, etc) are cracked/missing
- Driver window sticks a bit and needs to be lubed
- Sunroof sticks a bit but gets going with a nudge
- Front wheel bearings are close to needing to be replaced (have extra front spindles with good bearings)
- Sometimes the throwout bearing squeaks when the clutch is out.
- Also, no AC and no heat. Heater lines are looped but the blower motor still works for defrost, and AC is completely out of the picture.
- It has a radio but I don't know if the speakers are working or even hooked up. Radio gets power but no sound, and 6 disc changer has power.
- Minor stuff for the most part.
- This is a solid build on a chassis with 230k miles, so don't expect it to be showroom ready.
- Paint is OK, mostly presentable but the hood has flaking in the clearcoat and needs to be refinished.

Thanks guys. Gotta love TE37's , I was going to buy them with the car originally but wanted to go in another direction. It's getting cold and I realized how old I am getting and need a normal car. lol.

I just got the car detailed. It now has super gloss shine , no more matte white. Clear on hood still coming off, but the rest of the car looks great. Since I have not had any serious offers, sold coilovers and now back on shocks/springs , still stiff though!

For any of the buyers interested in the vehicle the wipers are a easy fix. I owned 3 fc rx7's and had the exact same problem. It's just the switch. This will take care of the front and rear wipers. Every rx7 is known for the sticky sunroof too so don't let this scare you away.

Anyways nice fc and glws
