1993 Brilliant Black Mazda RX-7 R1
Rockland County, New York
I regretfully have to say that I am selling my pride and joy. I thought after having
my twin babies who are now 9 months that I would be able to keep my FD, unfortunately
not. I am going to be looking for something w/ 4 seats and 4 doors.
The FD was purchased a little over 3 years ago and it spent 2 years in the garage with
a blown motor. I believe I am the 4th owner and to my knowledge it was never in an
accident except for one incident when someone tapped my rear 1/4 pulling out of a spot.
From the time of my ownership, it has NEVER seen the track even though I wanted to take
it for a couple of events. It's only been to a couple shows with some trophies.
The chasis is clocking about 139,000 miles and read 114,xxx miles when I purchased it. For some
reason my title shows 14,xxx, I'm thinking they missed the all important "1". I'm sure it'll
show up on CarFax as a discrepancy.

The engine has roughly 3000 miles if that rebuilt and ported by KDRotary. The turbos where
also replaced with low mileage units. Since my ownership, I've been working on all the
reliability issues and aged parts. The turbos are now converted to non sequential allowing
me to remove and disable all the related parts that can cause problems. At this point it's
single turbo ready!! You can see from the list of what was eliminated simplifying the powerplant.
The ECU was replaced with an APEXi Power FC unit which was tuned by Steve Kan of Gotham Racing. My recent dyno runs figures where 280 RWHP at 7psi!! I wished the dyno printer was working, but unfortunately it wasn't. I had problems with boost creep and still haven't had time to go out and get an electronic boost controller.

most of them)
