Default 1994 RX7 single turbo

Year: 1994
Make: Mazda
Model: RX-7
Price: $10000
Mileage: 124,000 on body, 15,000 on motor, 5,000 on turbo
Color: Primer

I've decided to sell my baby. I've owned this car since May of this year, when I purchased it off of a forum member, and I won't give out his name, but he was not completely truthful about the vehicle. It is in the condition it is now due to him; I have never hit anything with it, never drifted it, I doubt I've even put 1,000 miles on it.

Heres a little background on it:
Purchased the car in May from just outside Harrisburg, PA.

Drove it home, and not even 5 miles from home the motor failed. Snapped E-shaft.

Found a cheap replacement motor, 28,000 original miles, swapped it in with a new transmission, and not even 500 miles later that motor failed as well. Coolant seal.

Just recently I purchased a used motor and turbo setup from a member of the rx7club.

I have completed the swap, but there are some underlying issues with the car as it sits, and I just don't have the patience, the want, the money, or the time to do anything with it.

Quick spec list:
BDC Half-Bridge Port 13B REW
Mild Exhaust Ports
2mm OEM mazda apex seals
HD Pineapple Racing Water Seals
All brand new seals
Brand new housings w/ low mileage rotors
New rotor bearings
Gotham Oil Pan Brace
Polyurethane Engine Mounts
Fully Balanced Rotating Assembly by Mazdatrix
Spec Stage 3 6puck clutch with SR motorsports 9lb flywheel
Runs Evans waterless coolant
A-Spec Borg Warner S362 Turbo Kit
Divided T4 Manifold
Tial 44mm Wastegate with 1bar spring
Borg Warner S362 T4 w/ divided .82 a/r exhaust
3" downpipe to 3" mandrel bent piping all the way to 3" Apexi GT spec (catless, although I can include a cat, and plenty of other spare parts with the sale)
Greddy elbow, knock off Greddy type RS
Brand new Pettit Coolcharge III SMIC intercooler (not even one mile on it)
HKS Twin Power
Walbro 255
Apexi PFC, Commander (Gotham holder) and Datalogit
B&M Short shifter
Fludyne Radiator
New fuel filter ( less than 1,000 miles)
Tein coilovers (basics)


I have well over $7,000 in the engine and turbo setup alone.

The good:
It runs, and drives. Engine sounds good, and when I got it tuned I was told it was a very healthy motor.
Previous owner made around 450WHP at 1bar (I never got the chance to dyno it)
Perfect project car, that could save you thousands in the long run (my loss is your gain)
This is a very fair price for what you are getting, it makes me sick to think of the money I will be losing selling the car at this price.


Issues:
Oil pan appears to be leaking
Needs alignment (I dropped the PPF to get to the oil pan to reseal it, and obviously the reseal failed)
Needs a good tune (it doesn't idle well)
There is some ignition break up above 6500 RPM; its got me stumped.
I believe one of the U-joints has gone bad in the driveshaft.

None of these are a HUGE issue, I'm just tired of working on this car, and I've ran out of funding.


Body:
Its in pretty rough shape. The previous owner really did a number on her. Passengers side quarter panel is pretty rough. I do have a replacement panel and inner rocker I will include with the sale. At a reputable local body shop i was quoted $4400 for all of the body work and a full paint job.


Pictures (taken today)





(My camera is not the best)

walk around:



I need this car gone before I leave for the airforce, so make me an offer. I am very open to trades, especially plus cash.

Checked the oil today after it sitting for two weeks, and its still full so the leak i thought it had may have just been oil puddled up on the subframe. Started right up and took it for a drive down the road, ran and drove just fine. Nonetheless, still need this car gone. TTT

All FD's are 5 speeds
You'd be VERY hard pressed to get the drivetrain alone for $10,000

I'm taking the car up to Innovative this Wednesday, and after that all the "bads" will be worked out. I don't HAVE to get rid of this car, I have a daily now, and I'm just fine with this sitting in my garage for 4 years until I get back from the airforce with time and money to get it in the condition I'd like to see it in. I'd just like to see whats out there.

Don't mean to spam, but I've seen 2 nasty *** track rx7's for sale for 13k, and the car was MINT, and the one was rare with the red interior... Just food for though. GLWS.

Show me one rx7 that has a half bridged motor with a single turbo setup pushing 450whp on coilovers for 13k and I'll give you my car.

Not gonna happen.
