I'm not sure if I want to sell it yet, but I want to see how much interest I get in the car. Allright, check it out..



Bought the car a little over a month ago, I just can't afford to upkeep it really, but if I could, I'd keep it!!



Body: '88 RX-7 Turbo II, S5 tail-lights, 2-year old paint job "Blaze Red", less than 5 scratches/dings on the entire car. Beautiful to look at. Has S5 Turbo II 16" rims with some Pirellis in the front and Firestones in the back with about 30% tread left.



Interior: 99.99% flawless. There's a hairline crack on the driver's seat, and that's it. The interior was switched to S5, carpet and everything. No scratches or cracks in the dash. A dual pod gauge has been installed. There is a boost gauge and a fuel-pressure gauge.



Motor: I bought the car with a blown J-Spec S4 motor. I bought an S5 J-Spec short-block with 35,000-40,000 original miles on it. Had to swap out the electric oil-metering pump to the S4's mechanical, which is MUCH better anyways. Everything eles fit on properly. I'd say every single gasket you can think of has been replaced, including injector seals n' stuff too, all emissions have been taken off.



Mods: Garret .70AR T3/T4 hybrid turbo, RC Engineering balanced and blue-printed primary injectors, Perma-Cool electric radiator fan, brand new Walboro 255lph fuel-pump, 3" Racing Beat down-pipe, 3" high-flow catatylc converter, 3" Racing Beat turbo-back exhaust, Tokico 5-way adjustable struts, Eibach Pro-Line springs, Cusco front-strut bar.



Umm...I think that's about it, lol..

looks like a beautiful car. please post price

Lionheart240 05-13-2004 03:18 PM

Well, I'm not sure if I even WANT to sell it yet, but if someone is willing to offer me what I would like for it, then I'll sell it.



I paid $2,300 just for the body, over $2,000 in mods, $1,200 just for the motor, and a butt load in replacement seals/gaskets/etc.. a couple $100, including a brand new knock sensor: $78.







OH YEAH, the car has an upgraded ECU that has a fuel-cut defender already programmed into it, forgot to add that, and a Bonez pressure-plate. The clutch disc itself is stock though, because when I bought the car, the Bonez disc was freaking gone warn to hell.




My brother and I made a ghetto little boost controller and we've got it at about 10psi right now. The thing FLIES!!!!!!

Looks NICE! I got 3000 bux lol.

Lionheart240 05-13-2004 03:56 PM

LoL, I've spent more than that just for the shell and the motor. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



I'm actually hoping for $5,500 at the least. I'm about to be putting in a new tranny and replacing the intake manifolds with newer ones, as well as probably buying a new wiring harness n' stuff.

racerxtreme7 05-13-2004 04:02 PM

yea 5,5k is a good price, i hope you get it, if your not sure about selling id ask for more like 6k flat. that fc is clean as hell if i had the dough id be all over it

rotarychainsaw 05-13-2004 04:28 PM

damn!

Lionheart240 05-13-2004 11:04 PM

I bought the car knowing it had a bad 5th gear synchro. I've gotta save up a bit to buy another one for it. I would be replacing that as well as the current wiring harness because I found it it's been hacked to pieces. Pretty gay. That's another couple $100 outta my own pocket. I think $5,500 is a DAMN good deal, but I'd be much happier getting $6,000 for it. I think after what I've done, it's worth it.

Lionheart240 05-17-2004 12:40 PM

I'm about to buy a short-shifter and that should actually fix the synchro problem, because right now I'm missing a bushing that goes on the shifter and it's keeping it from going properly into gear sometimes. Short-Shifter's for FC's are super rare, so yeah, this is awesome https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
