1993 Brilliant Black Mazda RX-7 R1
Rockland County, New York http://www.jayspec7.com/events/scp1003/scp019.jpg I regretfully have to say that I am selling my pride and joy. I thought after having my twin babies who are now 9 months that I would be able to keep my FD, unfortunately not. I am going to be looking for something w/ 4 seats and 4 doors. :( The FD was purchased a little over 3 years ago and it spent 2 years in the garage with a blown motor. I believe I am the 4th owner and to my knowledge it was never in an accident except for one incident when someone tapped my rear 1/4 pulling out of a spot. From the time of my ownership, it has NEVER seen the track even though I wanted to take it for a couple of events. It's only been to a couple shows with some trophies. The chasis is clocking about 139,000 miles and read 114,xxx miles when I purchased it. For some reason my title shows 14,xxx, I'm thinking they missed the all important "1". I'm sure it'll show up on CarFax as a discrepancy. JM1FD3311P0205955 The engine has roughly 3000 miles if that rebuilt and ported by KDRotary. The turbos where also replaced with low mileage units. Since my ownership, I've been working on all the reliability issues and aged parts. The turbos are now converted to non sequential allowing me to remove and disable all the related parts that can cause problems. At this point it's single turbo ready!! You can see from the list of what was eliminated simplifying the powerplant. The ECU was replaced with an APEXi Power FC unit which was tuned by Steve Kan of Gotham Racing. My recent dyno runs figures where 280 RWHP at 7psi!! I wished the dyno printer was working, but unfortunately it wasn't. I had problems with boost creep and still haven't had time to go out and get an electronic boost controller. Here are the modifications w/ retail prices (since I don't remember how much I paid for most of them) http://www.jayspec7.com/events/xr100503/xr_005.jpg POWERPLANT / DRIVETRAIN ACT Street/Strip Clutch - 629.00 Air Control Valve Eliminated Air Pump Eliminated APEXi N1 GT Spec SS Exhaust - 780.00 Air Separation Tank Elimination Kit - 50.00 Automatic Warm up System Eliminated Custom Grounding Kit Double Throttle Eliminated Efini Polished Y-Pipe - 225.00 unpolished Emissions Block Off Plates - 100.00 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Eliminated FEED Torque Brace - 246.00 GReddy 2 Row Front Mount Intercooler - 1180.00 GReddy Polished Elbow - 125.00 GReddy Polished Intercooler Pipes Greddy Pulley Kit - 136.00 HKS Racing Suction Filters - 645.00 KDRotary Street Ported Motor -4500.00 Manual Boost Controller NEO 75W-90 HD Syn Oil (Trans & Rear) Non Sequential Turbos Optima Red Top Battery - 100.00 Pettit SS Resonated Midpipe - 350.00 Pettit Short Shifter - 275.00 Polished Parts RX-7 Fashion 3" SS Down Pipe - 329.00 Silicon Vacuum Hoses Taylor Vertex 8mm Spiro-Pro Wires - 80.00 Taylor Vertex Battery Relocation - 50.00 Walboro In Tank Fuel Pump - 110.00 http://www.jayspec7.com/events/ix100403/ix001.jpg AERODYNAMICS 99'JDM Combo Lights - 380.00 99'JDM Spec Rear Emblem - 15.00 FEED Carbon Side Skirt by RotaryExtreme - 650.00 FEED Type II Front Bumper by RotaryExtreme - 650.00 MazdaSpeed GT-C Spec Rear Spoiler - 1150.00 MazdaSpeed Replica Carbon Fiber Vented Hood - 600.00 Rotary Extreme Sleek Light HID Kit - 1450.00 RE Amemiya Sleek Light Covers - 200.00 RE CF Rear Diffuser Pro by RotaryExtreme - 800.00 Red Calipers w/ Polished Mazda Logo Sparco Silver Hood Pins - 25.00 http://www.jayspec7.com/events/xr100503/xr_008.jpg http://www.jayspec7.com/events/ix100403/0211.jpg COCKPIT Alpine MDA-W750 CD/MD Player - 1000.00 Alpine CHA-1214 12 Disc Changer - 330.00 Alpine SPS-5729 5"x7" Coaxial 2-Way Rear Speakers - 100.00 APEXi Power FC and Commander - 1250.00 Border FPR Dual Gauge Panel - 150.00 DEFi Link II BF 60mm Turbo Meter - 267.00 DEFi Link II BF 60mm Fuel Pressure Meter - 294.00 DEFi Link II BF 60mm Water Temperature Meter - 220.00 DEFi Link II BF 60mm Oil Temperature Meter - 221.00 DEFi Link II BF Control Unit II - 110.00 JDM Efini Keys - 14.00 x2 JL Audio 8W6 Subwoofer - 150.00 Razo Shift Knob - 30.00 S2000 Push Start Button - 35.00 Sparco Lap 3 Steering Wheel with Racing Control Kit - 250.00 Sparco Red Seat Harness - 100.00 Sparco Torino Seats - 600.00 x2 http://www.rotaryextreme.com/jay2.jpg FOOTWORK APEXi T-Max Adjustable Shocks - 880.00 BF Goodrich gForce KDs (f) 225x40 ® 265x35 - 190.00ea. 250.00ea.

It's really hard for me to do this, but under my circumstances... I am posting this here since first and if nothing happens, it'll go on EBAY. If you have any concerns about my FD, please ask some of the other forum members on the forum. A bunch of them have seen it in person. Asking Price: $25,000 OBO Please, NO LOW BALLERS!! I WILL NOT entertain any emails or PMs with low ball figures!! I love my FD and will not see it loose it's value to an offer of 10K. If you have any questions please PM or email me. I will try to respond as quickly as I can. Thanks!! |
