as title states.
i’ve been beating around the bush too long, and i seriousley need money more than i need a non-running 7 sitting in my driveway. i’ve been trying to finish this project for over 2 years now, but i’m just not in the financial position right now where i can afford to keep this car any longer, plus i have pretty much completely lost interest in rotaries.
i will keep the details in the thread brief. if you want ANY other details, please e-mail me for quickest response. i don’t come on here often so don’t rely on me getting your PM. e-mail is key.
basic jist: had car on road for 3 months with original motor. original motor went POP! bought S5 motor from Joe @ RPM Motorsports in Kitchener. installed motor. ran out of money before i could trouble-shoot and get car running. engine ran great before install, just needs some minor trouble-shooting and some final detailing. internals were not messed with during install. chassis has 193,XXXkm on it, motor has 40,XXXkm. body is in good condition. couple of small dings, missing side trim pieces, 3 spots of surface rust (no holes), and newer paint-job (owner before me) was not done very well. new brakes and clutch assembly plus slave and master were added just before the car came off the road 2 years ago. S5 tail-lights, aftermarket exhaust, aftermarket BOV…yadda yadda yadda.
ANYTHING else you may want to know, or to make an offer, PLEASE e-mail me at [driftRPS13@hotmail.com](mailto:driftRPS13@hotmail.com), and again, i will read e-mails before i read PM’s.
over $7000 dropped on this car so far. hate to see it go…especially for this price. but i’m not even making ends meet as it is, let alone saving up to go back to college. no room for her in my life anymore, and i’d love to see the car go to someone who’s actually gonna drive it, or at the very least someone who will part her out for the greater good, since i have no time or space to do this myself.
$1500 obo. car is located in Caledon. NO PART-OUTS!!
pics:
^^yes the car has maroon base model seats in it. the previous owner sold the TII seats.
