FS in CO: 93 MB Touring RX-7, 5spd, upgrades, rebuilt, needs work
Up for sale is my 1993 Mazda RX-7. Located in Denver, Colorado. It's a Touring model, Montego Blue in color, with a 5-speed. Has almost 100k on the odometer, but has a rebuilt engine from rotaryrebuildstore.com with less than 5k on it, and rebuilt stock twin turbos. Reliability mods, Power FC, non-sequential conversion, emissions equipment removed, coilovers, etc. I'd like to see $8500 for it with the stock rims, or $9500 with the Blitz rims pictured. I'm open to offers, as well as possible trades for something sporty and AWD (WRX, Legacy GT, A4, BMW, etc.) See below for full info.
Unfortunately the only pictures I have, I had to take at night, but those are all here:

First things first, this car is a theft recovery vehicle, which you will see if you pull a carfax, hence the price. But it was NOT wrecked, and I DO have a clean title. So no, not a salvage vehicle. It was recovered with only minor cosmetic damage (see pictures), and a blown engine. After I got it back, my insurance paid to fix it. I had the engine and wiring harness replaced at a local shop, and the turbos rebuilt.
Since then I've barely driven it, as I live in an emissions county and it will not pass emissions. It has been started and driven around the block regularly, however. It runs great, starts every time, even in the cold, no problems with restarts either. Here's a video of cold start and restart:
Hesitation at the beginning is because of the battery (cold outside).
It does need some work as the title says, and I want to be up front about it so you know what you're getting. Known issues:
- Rear bumper and passenger side headlight cover need to be repainted
- Center brake light cover not mounted correctly...I can't tell what's wrong or I'd fix it
- Two wheel studs are stripped on the passenger side rear, one is stripped on the driver side rear
- Battery has no tie down
- Fitting for hood cable is broken, so the hood release doesn't work...you have to reach up under the car and pull the cable
- Power antenna is stuck
- No A/C or heat. A/C compressor and lines removed; I believe the heater issue is just because of the switch, but I'm not sure
- Horn does not work. Horns were apparently removed when the FMIC was put in
- The rear speakers (Bose) were removed by the previous owner, as they didn't work. I have them if you want to rebuild them
- It could use a tune. It runs great like it is, but it hasn't been tuned since the rebuild
For people outside of CO...I'm reluctant to ship (I'd much prefer local pickup), but I'll consider it if you make the arrangements.
MOD LIST:
- Freshly rebuilt engine from rotaryrebuildstore.com, mild street port, Atkins seals
- Freshly rebuilt turbos, all seals replaced, balanced
- Non-sequential turbo conversion
- Exedy "Stage 2" twin plate clutch
- Aluminum Y-pipe
- Air pump removed
- Hi flow cat / midpipe from rx7store, also have Megan test pipe
- Racing Beat single tip catback
- RE Amemiya short throw shifter
- Greddy BOV, I think it is a Type RS but I'm not sure
- Greddy FMIC and piping
- Fluidyne aluminum radiator
- Pettitt Racing aluminum AST
- Engine torque brace
- A'pexi Power FC w/ Commander
- Manual boost controller (not hooked up)
- Pettitt Racing boost gauge mounted over steering column
- Bosch wideband sensor mounted in midpipe
- AEM wideband gauge on A-pillar
- Powered by MAX coilovers
- Upgraded differential brace
- Upgraded rear subframe brace
- G'reddy front strut tower bar
