Just put my car in storage this weekend - needed the garage space. Here are a couple pics of the car just before being put away . . .

One more . . .

that is a clean car!

is that racing beat exhaust? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif

Yes - it's racing beat cat back . . . bought it back when they first came out with the polished system.

maintained red paint looks amazing!

I hate you...my Vert has fender damage, primer on the passenger side, and a big ass tear across the top of the rear window https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif



I bet your leather seats are without tears, and your headrest speakers work https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

LOL - all of the above are true https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Here are a couple more pics . . .

YEah man..

Thats crazy.

very nice

all i have to say is omg wow!! thats crazy clean looks like u just drove it home from the showroom

Man oh man nice car,question how long have you had that, that is the lowest miles i have ever seen on a rx7, god im still in shock

Thats super low miles.Collector car condition too.Just needs a 20B https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

thats the lowest miles i've seen on a 7 yet

Very very..............Very nice. Looks brand new!

couldn't have said that better

Oh yeah? Well, I have mechanical OMP https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png

Even your interior is clean!!! I bet you didn't even break the top screws on the trim piece around the radio/logicon! Bastard...



Nice vehicle, I coluld only wish mine was 10% of that...

All - thanks for the nice comments. To answer the question, I've had it since it was new in late 1989 (actually was a college graduation gift to my wife from her parents - unfortunately/fortunately, my wife didn't know how to drive a stick). Nice parents, huh?



It has spent about 9 of its 14 years in storage because I was stationed in Alaska (Air Force) for 5 years right out of college and then was stationed in DC for 5 years. I worked in SouthEast DC, and if you know SE DC, you wouldn't want to be driving through that area each day. So, stayed in storage. Used it as a daily driver for a while until early 2002, when I got another car. Been sitting ever since mostly.



Thanks again and, oh yeah, if anyone wants to donate a 20B, I'd consider it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

That thing is definitely a collector's piece man. Don't sell it unless you get desperate. I know there are a million FC's still around but that is one of the nicest I've seen to date with the lowest original miles and worth keeping in stock form IMO. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif

Thanks for the nice comments . . . Right now it's fairly close to stock - the only differences are the sound/security system and the cat back. However, the only outward differences relating to the sound/security system is that there is a different head unit. MB Quarts behind the factory grills all around. Amp and subwoofer under rear cover (hidden). Headrest speakers still work (but don't need them) and the factory security system still works - I just added some additional security. So . . . although not entirely stock, it's pretty close.



Oh yeah, and the sound system is a huge improvement and one change I am glad I made.



I think I'll take your advice about not selling . . . thanks again!

those are not the lowes miles i seen i had a turboll with 11000 miles

and ocean mazda paid me 20 grands for the car but u should get about the same cuz that was just 1 year ago!!!











the honda eater!!!!!!!!!!!

Muffler hangs low, Ill take it off your hands for you if you

want https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



Turboii- its rather annoying that you made a screename

the same as another member, who also happens to be a mod,



couldnt you think of

another name instead of playing with the II?

Rob - LOL - sure, when do you want to pick it up?



By the way, I looked at your website - nice car yourself. I really like those wheels you have - just similar enough to the stock wheels, but better IMO.



How do you clean your engine? I did it once and it needs it again. Last time I just tried to protect as many electrical connections as possible, sprayed simple green engine degreaser and scrubbed as many places as I could with brushes. Any other tips?

Have any pics??

That is in better condition than my 'vert! I have a '91 with 76,000 miles. Three years ago she had only 30,000 miles (I turned 16 three years ago and started driving it). My dad bought mine brand new in '91, and everything is still in pristine shape, except a slight wear on the driver's side seat.



Good job keeping her so good looking. I am gonna go wax mine right now just so I can see my reflection in her.

I use Auto Magic Engine Wash, there is no need to protect anything in the engine bay, those engines can take a good soaking and have no problems. Trick is to do it when the engine is cold, spray the stuff all over the place, use a sponge to loosen things up a bit if needed, then use a pressure washer with like 1100-1400 psi or so. Wash everything and when its good and clean start the car up right away and let the car run and the engine will dry itself off. If you have compressed air you can blow it off while its running as well.



Then spray your favorite silicone spray all over the place to protect

everything.



The auto magic stuff wont harm glass or paint or any metal under the hood. I have literally cleaned thousands of engines in my time using this method.
