Why are you selling? I am a in your area and might be interested, Thanks!

 

Rainman: I love your car, but I need cash to pay off the loan. Sorry.

PY01ITR42: I'm selling it because I'd like to spend my money elsewhere. And my driving record has gone to hell since I got this car. It's a magnet for more than just chicks.

 

Could you give me some info on the "remanufactured" engine? I am not too engine literate. But I have cash so sometimes that makes up for it

 

Sure. The engine came straight from Mazda USA. It was installed by University Mazda in seattle (one of the best dealerships in the country to take a rotary. The oldest mazda dealer on the west coast.).

Read more about rebuilt vs remanufactured here: http://www.cheap-auto-car-insurance-...lt_engines.htm

I can make a list of all that was replaced at the time of the engine. I have all the paperwork.

The reason the engine went out, is because the previous owner must not have used distilled water in the coolant. It deteriorated the coolant seals (call o-rings), and coolant started to leak into the combustion chamber, it soon overheated. This kind of failure is favorable to a blown apex seal, because often times, when you blow an apex seal, it will get spun through your turbos, and possibly taking them out with it.

 

So remanufactured is practically a brand new engine? I just had never seen the term, always rebuilt. I am interested im going to call on insurance rates tomorrow and see where Im at. I will let you know.

Do you have any estimated HP numbers?

 

I'd estimate about 270 flywheel. But the boost spools up much quicker than stock. So the power band is longer.

I'll get more pictures of it (interior, engine, trunk, etc.)

Here is a video of the car being revved (parked) so that you can hear the exhaust tone. It's 3.5megs.

Interior/Engine shots coming soon. And more video coming soon too. I just got a suction cup camera mount, so it's time to make a mini-movie.

booya

 

I guess I'll give it another bump.

 

I might be intrested depending on if my stolen car shows up.

 

Very nice, I was looking into getting an RX-7 for a while but decided not too.

 

Very nice car. Exhaust sounds great too. Too bad I'm not in the market anymore Good luck with the sell!

 

must fight urg..
must save money...
must fight.....

 

change the oil more often. but yeah, that is the shiz.

 

3000 is just fine, as long as the level is checked frequently (I check it every time I fill up the gas tank), and you make sure it's not low. Rotaries burn oil by design..

I can't vouch for previous owners, but since I've had it, and since the new engine, conventional oil has always been used. No synthetics. Valvoline Racing VR1 20w50 in the summer months, 10w30 in the colder months.

 

Im still trying to get this 7, Its a Awesome Car!
