Went to the auction this morning 9.30am ( saturday morning here ) and the car bid started at $5K AUD and it stoped at $8700, so I bid $9K and got it. Thank god they took master card.

The cars not to bad, nothing a new shell can't fix.

Driver's door, roof and bottom piller is smashed, right hand side quarter front and back needs panel work and a new bonnet. Got a mate to pick up the car with the tow truck, put the car in neutral and the back wheel are locked up, so we draged the car onto the back.

We spent today striping the car. We put a new batery in it and the motor does not turn over.

Does anyone have any idea's what I can do to free up the motor. I might ask people in 3rd Gen section.



New project now started

Sounds like a lot of money for a smashed up car. What's the conversion rate?

This car was owned by a x-member and it was a 1995 RX7 SP model, with alot done and a hell of alot of power, It was 568rwhp running 20psi T-66 turbo, with a magic EFI system.
