    Unhappy '93 Mazda RX-7 Twin-Turbo

    Wellll.....I just lost my job...and unfortunately, I had nothing going on the side, or anything saved up, as to continue maintaining the general cost/maintenence of the car while not holding a steady job; Thus, selling her might be the smartest thing I could do.

    She's a beautiful '93 Touring model, with only a 2 years on a fresh Montego Blue paint job. Paint is beautiful all-around. Period. Has a forest green-like color in the light, with a deep blue tint in the shade, and looks black at night. Touring models came stock with fog-lights, tan leather interior, sun-roof, and typically don't come with spoilers, but mine does. I had her compression tested late last month and numbers came out just fine. She runs STRONG I tell you. I drive her daily, and she starts up every morning just fine.


    Car: 1993 Mazda RX-7 Touring Model

    Color: Montego Blue w/ Tan-Leather Interior

    Mileage: 117,672 w/ ~40k on motor

    VIN: Ask first.

    Mods:

    Non-Sequential Twin-Turbos @ 10psi via MBC
    Twin-intakes
    Greddy Type-S BOV
    Greddy 3" Down-Pipe
    APEXi N1 3" Cat-Back Exhaust
    Pettit Racing Alluminum Air-Separation Tank (JUST got last week)
    OS Giken Twin-Plate clutch w/ pressure-plate
    OS Giken Lightened-flywheel
    18" HP Racing-style rims (less than 3 months old)
    - 18X8 in the front w / 245/40/18 tires (less than 3 months old)
    - 18X9 in the rear w/ 285/30/18 tires (less than 3 months old)
    '93 RX-7 R1 Model Front-Lip Spoiler
    Short-Shifter
    Driver's Side A-Pillar w/ Boost & Coolant Temp Gauges
    JVC KD-LH910 CD player w/ MP3/WMA/Sirius/PICT/SD support
    (I will probably take it out, seeing as how I JUST got it)
    Viper Remote Start Alarm System w/ Keyless Entry & Hand-Held Monitor
    (Brand new, in box. Retail: $502.99) If you want it, I'll ask $300 more.

    - Fact of the matter is: I don't WANT to sell her. Not one bit. But, even if I get a job THIS week, I will probably still come up short for the upcoming payments. Having to do general maintence on her accompanied by ~200 miles a tank at $40 a tank probably didn't make for much of a wise decision for a 20 year old full-time retail salesman.

    Price: Entertaining offers

    - Do NOT lowball me.
    - Do NOT call me if you want it but have to sell some car first.
    - I will give test-rides out on a case-by-case basis.

    - I will NOT sell this car to some half-wit drift wannabe who's going to slam her into a curb trying to drift in a Wal-Mart parking lot the first chance he gets. This car is my everything right now, and it pains me that I have to do this. These vehicles are becoming increasingly rare to find, and especially in a condition such as mine.

    - If you have any other questions, post em', or message me. I'm not trying to be rude or a jerk, but this whole situation sucks for me right now, and I don't need anyone else to make it worse by wasting my time.

    I am looking for $14k.

    The pics aren't exactly THAT old. They just don't show the R1 lip I had installed, and the Pettit Racing alluminum AST which I just installed last week.

    GODDDDDDDDD this sucks, you have no idea.

    I'm applying for jobs already, so I can TRY to keep her. I get paid this week, but it's the time between now and the next check that I have to get some cash together.

    P.S. The car has an APEXi S-AFC II currently installed also. Oops.

    Well, I know I wouldn't buy a car if I couldn't at least take a ride in it, if not test drive it. Later, QD.

    That's cool. I don't mean just let every kid that comes up test drive it. Try and judge the dude first then decide on your analysis what you want to do. That's all. Lolol. Later, QD.

    I appreciate the compliments, guys.

    I hope to find another job by the end of the week, so I can keep her, but in the end, if someone comes up to me with $14k, she's yours.

    Thanks, Southrnpride1969.

    The pics honestly, were taken in the last month.

    They just don't show the R1 front-lip that I installed, or the Pettit Racing Alluminum Air-Separation Tank in the engine bay shot, cause I had just gotten and installed that last week.

    yeah definately, sell the wheels or something in order to keep it, you can always get a new set, a lot easier than finding a rare car that clean again..
    bump for a nice car, hope you get to keep it!

    Nice Ride

    I agree that you should part it and keep the car. it sounds like you like to throw money at it you can always buy more parts gut Clean, Unabused 11 year old cars are hard to come by( i.e. muscle cars)


    Good Luck

    he said he needed money and that this was his daily. i figured downgrade his daily and get some money. if he doesnt want to consider it, thats all he has to say, no big deal.

    Yeah. Sorry, Devin, I can't trade. I have a daily-driver in line, it's just that my brother's driving it while he finishes up his current RB25/240Z project.

    I'm still surfin' around for jobs. Circuit City, Office Max, anything that can at least pay $10.00+ an hour, possibly comission, and ~40 hours a week...then I can afford to keep it. But man...I just need her sold.

    Just PM or e-mail me if you're interested, please.

    And thanks for the compliments guys. I really appreciate it.

    so tell me/us whats the real deal behind these cars... if I were to own one in the future what things are the hassle about these cars.. I had to money a few times to get one but just afraid of maybe losing alot of money... is it just the lack of knowledge of shops around that know how to work on them, or is when you start modding them heavliy they give problems?

    Do some research.

    An FD is not a great car to own for your first rotary ever, period.

    My first rotary-powered car was my '88 Turbo II 2nd gen RX-7.

    New pics. Just took them today. My driveway is all muddy and nasty, so the tires are dirty. Sorry.











    - Note the 2nd gen RX-7 in the background? hehe. Ah, I forgot to take interior pics, sorry.

    - Here's some older interior pics the previous owner took...







    The additional gauges and electronics you see were taken out by the previous owner before he sold the car to me, so these are old pics..I forgot to take interior pics at the same time I was taking exterior pics earlier today, sorry.

    Anyways, hope you enjoy. Post a comment, PM me, IM me, e-mail me, if you have any questions at all.

    - Mike

    lol...

    It takes a little bit to get used to the OS Giken twin-plate clutch setup, it's got a real stiff pressure-plate too. Not to mention the short-shifter..hehe
