Car is a Red 1988 Turbo II.
It has appx 155k on the chassis (not sure about the motor)
All emissions have been removed.
Here is my list of mods (I know there is stuff that I have forgetten)
Engine is mostly stock (TID mod and gutted cats... I think that’s it)
FD alternator
Mazda speed grounding kit
Optima redtop battery
Tomei blow off valve
Hose Techniques Silicone Hose Kit
Brakes
SS braided Brake Lines
Drilled Slotted Rotors
Red Stuff Break Pads (appx 18k miles on the pads)
Suspension
Suspension techniques rear sway bar (stock front, I have the front it’s just not installed)
Suspension techniques springs
Koni yellow struts
Polyurethane bushing kit
DTSS eliminator bushings
Other
S5 tail lights
ACT street strip clutch
Mazdatrix short shifter
Racing beat (I think) FCD
Fiber images CF hood (I was told it is fiber images, not sure if it’s true... it doesn’t have the fiber images name embossed into the CF but it could be an early production)
Autometer boost gauge
Autometer procomp ultralite temp gauge and oil pressure gauge (sender on the oil pressure doesn’t work 30 bucks at AutoZone)
Oil filter pedestal for aftermarket gauges
I want 5k for everything and that’s including 2 extra sets of turbo II wheels (1 set has junk tires and 1 set is powdercoating black chrome)
Anything else that I have in the garage that is rx7 related I will be throwing into the mix as well... (Pieces and bolts nuts etc.
I know there is some more but I am forgetting it.
Motor has about unknown mileage on it but I believe it’s the original motor. Starts up great when its cold but wont hold a idle. Im not sure why, I think it has to do with the thermal pallet (sp??) removed the previous owner removed all the emissions . I have on and off hot start problems... but once its started it holds a solid 550 idle. Transmission whines going into first gear when moving and 2nd gear syncro is bad.
It has no ac except the condenser (piece behind the radiator) and I just reinstalled the PS with good PS lines (mine were leaking all over the place). PS sometimes cuts on and off but I think that is due to cold solder joints on the PS computer.
There is extremely mild smoke on start up due to me pre mixing... previous owner did it so i said ... cant hurt a good thing
It boosts to 9 psi with the stock boost controller. I believe this is due to the removed emissions, the custom TID and the gutted cats.
I have never seen any kind of spikes or boost creep at all.
The chassis is in perfect condition... very minor dents and dings... right now there is a problem with the paint. My neighbor sprayed an oil based wood sealant on his fence and over sprayed it onto my entire car. I tried to remove the sealant and it was taking the paint off. I have talked to my neighbor about this and he is either going to be paying for a very good profession detail job or a new paint job. I should have closure on this issue in the next couple of days. In the event that I do get a new paint job I will be asking 5500obo.
When my neighbor pays for the detail job or the paint job I will be posting more pics.
The car will be available the weekend of April 29th. I am moving to japan and that is the reason for the sale. The closer I get to moving the more and more I want to keep the car. I had a lot of plans for it but since im leaving im going to keep it the way it is and just sell it to someone that will take care of it.
I know there arnt any power mods. I am content with the power its got and the suspension mods make it more than fun in the corners.
Here are some pictures.
Let me know what you think....
PS the GRAMLIGHTS are NOT included in the sale. It will have a set of S5 Turbo II wheels on it with 2 sets of S4 turbo II wheels.
I will be getting some compression numbers this week or weekend.. after i get them i will post them up
