I’ve decided to sell my RX-7. I’ve owned the car since November 2001, and invested a lot of love and money during my period of ownership. The biggest expenditure was for engine and turbos, after a clogged fuel filter caused a catastrophic blow up. In the car now is a street ported motor with 3mm apex seals. I was very careful breaking in the motor, totally avoiding boost for the first 1000 miles. I recently put it on a wideband equipped dyno, and got 305rwhp at 0.75kg/cm2 and mid-10’s a/f. There’s probably potential for another easy 30-40rwhp with higher boost and more aggressive tuning.



The chassis is coming up to 123000 miles, but the motor has been in the car for less than 3000 of those miles. Being a daily driver, the paint has picked up rock chips, dents, and scratches commensurate with a 10-year old car. The car is in great mechanical condition, the only issues are a leak somewhere in the air conditioning system, the M2 water temp gauge not working (I just look at Power FC Commander for water temp), and worn rear tires.



This car is an awesome performer, benefiting from modifications not only for power but also handling and braking. Just take a look at the full mod list:

Oh man, that kinda sucks you are going to sell your car. I thought your car was pretty damn cool. If I had some extra cash I would love to be the owner. I see a Porsche in your future

 

I'm not sure what I'll buy to replace the FD. Wife says it's time for a more "sensible" car.

 

Well you could always take a little bit of the money you get from the car and buy a TII to Autocross in. It would be cheaper to mod than the FD.

 

that's a damn good deal!

 

SOLD.
