Damn! Why didn't I see this deal?!?!



Anyway... nice find. Where in Columbus are you?

What a steal! Solid start to a project.

haha thanks, im actually livin in dela-where? now. i found the car off of 229, this guy had 4 sittin out front and he had this one in his garage, i stopped by to ask him about a few parts and i saw this and asked him if hed sell it as a shell, i didnt even plan on buyin it i was jus curious, and when he said 300 i blurted out sold and i picked i my jaw up off the ground moments later

WOW, talk about rough.



I bought a running RX-7 for $400. I wouldn't pay $300 for that thing even if it is a 10AE.



Good for you though, have fun. Its gonna be a big assed project

-Ben Martin

does it come with a clean title...or a title at all...???

its alot of work there...

Oh, just noticed that there isn't a body harness in the car.



Have fun with that.

yea clean title



and i know it needs work but i have the time and money from medical leavve so thanks for the negativity everyone

its a big project! um pull everything off that shell, send it for paint, and then find a parts car....

we pulled everything off the shell already and jus got done sanding it yesterday, we already painted the engine bay and arnt gonna paint the rest of the car until after we put the engine in

i got an s4 with a new motor for $500.



but that should be a good start to a nice project, congrats on your find!



kevin.

looks like a fun restoration project!!! i love black interior, your gonna have a hard time finding a dash for it... but besides that shouldnt be bad

dash came with it, and the whole interior is basically mint, especially for the age. its absolutely everything minus the front clip basically and the wiring harness, were about to go get the engine this week, ill keep everyone posted with pictures

nice find! good luck with the project.

alright, been a while since i posted. the dash harness is all put back in and we have put the engine harness back on too. yesterday i went and picked up vaccuum lines and replaced all those cuz lets face it, they were 20 yrs old. i had to splice a few wires over from the jdm harness onto the american one cuz they were cut, we are planning to drop it in tomorow, ill keep pics up and have everyone posted

total amount spent so far?



kevin.

$300-shell

$1350-motor/tranny

$50-weld on broken shifter

$114-tools, sandpaper and paint

$50-radiator

$35-gauge cluster

$120-dash harness and left side harness

$200-ecu harness

priceless-the patience to put a car together that you didnt take apart https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif





so total of all my receipts right now is $2119, but it'll total $3000 or more because i still have to order my racing beat exhaust monday and i need a battery, and im sure theres a few more little things ill have to buy



speaking of the racing beat exhaust, is it made in only one size? the website says like 3" but ive heard quite a few ppl say full 3.15", is that the same exhaust? thanks

thats going in my sig somewhere, gotta make room, thats my experience with my first FD. never had an FD before and I had to basically assemble the whole engine bay from scratch and parts of the interior, and im not even the one who took it apart lol.



as for the racing beat exhaust....i always thought it was 2.5" lol.



i have one sitting in my garage i could measure it for you but i dont know how old mine is compared to if they have anew one or something.



kevin.

came a long way.





and that thing was STRIPPED clean. looked like the 89 GXL I had last year. except mine was completely crushed and stripped entirely, doors, hatch, bumpers, etc.



good luck with the rest.

its 80mm, which is slightly larger than 3"



they also have a 2.5" dp/presilencer combo

wow, i never realized it was 3"....i should take that out of storage, its collecting dust in the upstairs of my garage lol.



people still getting decent money for the full catback?



kevin.

You could be generous and sell it to me for VERY cheap!!



My b-day is in a few weeks!!

guess what guys? believe it or not i got it running! and i havnt compression tested it yet or anything but im pretty sure the motor is pretty damn strong. i started up on the very first crank and to mine and my friends disbelief it idled fine , even with all the vac leaks and only a RB downpipe and presilencer with no gaskets yet lol. total ive spent so far is just shy of $3100 i beleive, and that includes the price of a brand new RB rev tii exhaust. ill post pics soon guys.

Great job.....PICs..PICs...

300 bucks good drinking money or something node? I'd have bought it.. Restorable 10AE with original VIN?
