Not to sound like a *****, but what does this have to do with the RR/AutoX forum? Did I miss the cage in the car or something?

Not much... Just not a lot of them running around...
Third generation
The third and final generation dispensed with the rear seats except in Japan, and featured an aerodynamic, futuristic-looking body design. The first-ever mass-produced sequential twin turbo system boosted power to 255 hp (190 kW) and finally 276 hp (206 kW, the unofficial Japanese government limit on engine power) by the time production ended in Japan, in 2002.
The car is known as the "FD" (with JM1FD3 starting the VIN numbers). The FD RX-7 is a pure sports car, and borders on supercar status. In the US, three models were offered; the "base", the touring, and the R models. The touring FDs had sunroofs and Bose stereo systems. The R (R1 in 1993 and R2 in 1994-5) had stiffer suspensions and an optional aerodynamics package, as well as Z-rated tires.
Handling was absolutely outstanding in the FD, and it is still regarded as being one of the best-handling cars of all time. Acceleration was no less impressive. In fact, the 1993 RX-7 R1 bested the Acura NSX in every performance category, while costing over USD$10,000 less. The car was sold only from 1993-1995 in the USA in its 255hp form.
In Japan, Mazda sold the FD RX-7 through its Efini brand as the Efini RX-7 from 1991 to 1995, and then returned it to the Mazda brand. The RX-7 was updated for 1998 and production ended in August 2002.

Well its the rarest RX-7, its the best handling one, its highly desireable, he used it for HPDE, I figured I would show it here because its, like stealth said its a sin not to track it
he wants it to go to a good home and not some stunnaZ who will throw 19"s on it

Slightly modified suspension, strut bar, dual oil coolers, front lip and rear spoiler. I think that's about it.

Maybe you should check out the RX-7 forum and learn about the car before you go attacking its reliability. Many members that give proper care and maintenance along with some good tuning don't have issues with the engine detonating all the time. The unreliable and short engine life of the RX-7 is mostly a myth perpetuated by those pushing more then stock boost without proper fuel compensation.

The RX-7 was a lot more fun to drive than the NSX, too.

Dude, a friend of mine campaigned a near stock NA one in SCCA Club Rally out west. We put 3 or 4 engines in that car in one season. I wouldn't even sit in one of those piles of crap again.
Edit: It was the 2nd gen pile of crap. Maybe those are not a complete pile like the first 2 gens.

Some people just go on hear say and actually do no research themselves just going off others experiences. I've owned a 3rd gen for 3 years now. It's a '94 base model that has 95k on it and is on its original engine and turbos despite the fact that I drive it hard, because I properly maintain it.
But this thread is about selling a car so lets get back on topic.
