new car v. 1986 Rx-7 PICS AND VID

Just picked this car up and its in near mint condition. Its a pretty quick car that has been well maintained and should be fun to work on.

Enough with that small talk and on to the pictures…

i will take more pictures when i get a cleaned up and can take a look at it.

heres a video of an autocross event that it was raced in. http://youtube.com/watch?v=DDOcUdcSp-8
note that he was 3.5 seconds slower than a 94 viper rt-10. I might believe that but im going to find out when it gets here.

nice buy, looks very clean

please swap the front wheels to the opposite sides so all the rims are facing the same way!

haha i noticed that too, its the first thing thats getting done before i even bring it in the garage.

ugh i love fcs

rob this your whip or yor dads?

its both of ours, we split the cost and we will work on it. im still getting the grand am, but its just my dd for the winter.

this was taken from the ad i bought it from,

I am selling my 86 mazda rx7 gxl. It has 133k miles, that averages less than 700 miles per year.pw windows, pw sunroof. i have recipts dating back to the early 90’s. I believe i am the 4th owner. It has the 13b 2rotor wankle engine. Feul injected, 4.10 possi rwd, 5 spd trans, runs and drives excellent. This car was very well maintained. Interior is in great shape considering its age. ONLY a 2 seater. Full exhaust system from the headers all the way back. New Catalytic convertor i just put on 2 days ago. the motor is clean and runs excellent. does not burn oil. oil changed regularly at 1500 miles. Its suggested the oil be changed every 1500 with a rotary engine. the car is all wired up for a system and includes jbl 6x9s and a (1000?) watt jbl amp mounted behind the drivers seat.
This car is a sports car and was designed with performance in mind and not fuel economy. I average around 20 MPG. The car drives and performs so great

All you gotta do is start buying parts from boldt before he completely loses his mind. You know…that rx-7 in high school that all the morons thought was gonna be up and running and “so fast” and “so sweet”. Get some of his turbo stuff man, and make this thing rip!

looks clean :tup: welcome to the rotary world

thanks man, im new to the rotary world. my dad used to own a 79. He blew the engine in it and thought he could tear it apart, little did he know that it wasnt comming apart. He replaced the engine, then things went bad. Hopefully this one goes good, we have some plans for it, but none that include a turbo anytime soon. My dad wants to keep it clean and somewhat stock, so i wont get to go too crazy with it, but you never know.

how much does a mint FC like this go for?

i wont say how much we got it for, but it SHOULD go for somwhere around 3500- 4k. pictures dont really do this car justice at all. Seeing the condition and driving it is what really makes this car.

i need some baffling sp? for the dual exhaust, it screams since the exhaust is all aftermarket and theres a new cat. its louder than my civic when vtec kicked in with a gasket leak.

Better question is how much are giant fire extinguishers going for these days…

Nice car, great pickup

Did no one else read this?
2008 - 1986 = 22 years
22 x 700 = 15,400

Actual yearly mileage is more like 6,000 miles. (Maybe the guy used 21 years and forgot a zero? I used 22 due to the fact 2008 model years are now available.)

Nice car, I’m enjoying mine too.

Looks awesome, should be a fun project

Very nice. Where are you getting it from, Southern?

i was about to post that its not an 85 its a FC which is 86-91 but im sure you know

so, after reading the thread title…i got to wondering, since when is an '85 a new car?

congrats though, cool cars…how do these compare to the FD’s in reliability though? i dont know anything about these cars…
