Seeing as how people have spoken, and you ARE getting a good deal, I'm going to ***** this post now.... This guy is selling a 10th Anniversary Edition TII with a blown motor to me for 1000 bucks, is THAT a good deal or what? Interior: 8/10 Exterior 6/10. It has some chipping/fading (solved with my friend's paint shop). It's gonna cost me another 500 just to ship it to me, and as an incentive on getting the title "cleaned up", I threw another 2 c-notes on it, putting me at 1700 for a near-mint 10 AE... I already have an engine lined up, so whaddya guys think eh?

I got the car today!!!!



I giggled like a school girl at every streetlight.....its got this short shifter on it...and the shifts ARE short....its just way harder to use than any othr SS ive used...anyone else had this?



im also getting that 3800 rpm hesitation, but my car came with a Mazda Factory Workshop Manual...so i'll find that injector ground.



One other thing, it has the Blitz Super Sound BOV installed, but it's Super Mute, because I can't hear nothin' betwixt my shifts....Ideas?



Other than that, I LOVE this car!!!!!!

So, TII's are known though, apparently from what I've heard, for having:



-Bad fuel pump wiring.

-Bad seat-belt thingies

-Bad boost gauge

-Bad BOV TOA MRCVCAD's (with the ECU EFI LOL..)

-Only coming in the color white.



Am I right?

1971ChevelleSSV8 makes some valid points. He forgot about the fuel injectors though.

shutup, you obviously know nothing.



stop trying to blow this guys bubble.



turbo's come in many colors, with many different problems. 16 year old cars come with many problems, no surprise. dont just spout off a bunch of random problems you have heard from friends/interent/ricers/whatever as typical of rx-7's.



YOU GOT A SWEET DEAL, AND DONT LISTEN TO WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY. DO YOU ENJOY IT, AND ARE YOU HAPPY? THAT'S WHAT MATTERS.
