Howm uch?!

EDIT: Seeing yours makes me want this one. Its in budget...

Poor man's Viper?

 

[Sqube]

Sex. Plain and simple.

And with only 37,000 miles on it? Good times.

 

[finbarqs]

12 years old.... 94TT heh... This thing weighed in at 2750lbs? light as heck, and crunching in 289.2RWHP (about 20% drivetrain gain) to produce about 340HP at the Flywheel HP. How you say i got it for?

17G's...

This car is WAY lighter than a viper, 1/4" times are in the mid to high 12's.

 

[ponyo]

17G? :Q

Wow! You got a steal. You could resell that so easily. Care to sell it? :evil:

Was it someone you knew? No way that could've lasted in any ad.

 

[lrad50]

holy shItt, that is smoooking....
i mean i would take a loan out for that price!

 

[JulesMaximus]

Nice car! :thumbsup:

I like the dark wheels on the black car. It looks awesome!

 

[jagec]

That's a sweet looking car! Redline seems a little low for a rotary, though...

 

[Vich]

Hot

 

[czech09]

Looks very clean. Nice car. Hopefully it won't stay stock .

 

[Kadarin]

Nice I always liked that body style.

 

[SSP]

F*ing HOT! I looove Rx7's!

 

[finbarqs]

Is there a rev limiter? My car has the same redline as the pictures in the OP, hits the rev limiter at 8k.

 

[overst33r]

wow that is a very good condition RX

 

[OS]

nice car, i thought about buying one but doing my hw those things are maintenance nightmares particularly for turbo models.

 

[FelixDeCat]

Thats not a new car.

Naw, you just have to include apex seals in the 5,000 mile service and you're golden

 

[finbarqs]

heh... just take care of them.. All 3rd generation RX-7's are Twin Turbo'ed factory. If you see single turbo's, those are aftermarkets for bigger power. People who blow their seals are people who are ignorant in maintaining their FD's. They probably ignore the engine knocks or even let it over heat. For me, i did the reliability mods such as a new radiator, DP, interncooler, silicone vacuum lines, and ported the engine. (mild street port). I also had the car tuned for a little power, but with safety in mind.

remember, there are still Turbo 2's out there that has over 170k on the ORIGINAL engine out there. But of course, if i go 3 or 4 rotor, it's gonna probably be naturally aspirated, or a turbo with modest boost (8psi as opposed to my current 12psi)

nope , it's 12 years old.

 

[jjyiz28]

now hit up the rotary forums and mod it up. im pretty sure the best reliability mod you can do for your turbo is get a turbo timer if it doesn't have it already. gonna save the turbos from overheating

 

[LordMaul]

Impressive. I saw a black RX-8 today parked near where I work...

a well engineered car shouldn't overheat and knock on it's own though.
