This was for sale in the fall, and I thought I had it sold.The friend I was supposed to sell it to flaked out on me. I've dropped the price dramatically, but nothing has changed in the car. Its sitting in storage right now waiting for the new owner. Im buying a house soon and would like this sold, no games. This car is probably the fastest, most balanced and capable car you could ever find for this price. Email or call me for the quickest response.

History
4th Owner, I believe. The previous two owners were very good friends of mine. I was actually there when it was bought back in 2002 by one of them.

Interior
No cruise control or AC, everything else, including heater, lights, interior switches, knobs and buttons work just as they should. Center switch panel has switches for the ignition, fuel pump, electric fan, interior lights and an extra, all labeled. It also has the starter button, which is very satisfying to push. All switches and circuits are fused and relayed properly and tucked under the dash out of sight. The ECU for the engine is mounted and secure in the passenger side kick panel area. Manual steering rack works great, no problems with parking or at low speeds at all, and the steering feel is amazing. Most plastics and interior pieces are there and in good shape. The center dash area has a guage pod with the Autometer guages installed. Carpet is in good shape.

Exterior
For being a car built in 1987, its in FANTASIC shape. As I said earlier, I know the history of this car personally going back to 2002. The previous owners from that point on were very good friends of mine. The chassis itself has ZERO rust. Probably thanks to the factory undercoating Mazda put on, But also in part to the fact its been garage kept and maintained religiously. The exterior was painted a few years ago, I would give the paint a 9/10. It has a couple knicks in it, but overall I doubt you will find an 87 in better condition. The underside has remains of the sticky undercoating in places but for the most part is clean and rust free. The subframes were taken out at the time of the swap and powdercoated black and the engine bay was painted black with POR, I swear by the stuff, its liquid powder coat.
-Repainted Sunrise Red 3 years ago, Very nice overall, was done by a professional body shop, (not macco) couple scratches and chips now, but not noticeable.
-AWR rear fenders, Blended in perfectly. Doesn't upset the factory body lines at all (IMO) and will fit 315's in the rear
-CCW Race Version classic wheels, 3 piece, 17x9's in front and 17x11.5" rear. Have multiple barrels (inners and outers) to make them different sizes if wanted. Centers powder coated black, outer lips repolished and new hardware installed 2 years ago.
-Kumho XS tires with less than 1000 miles, 245's front, 295's rear.
-Unknown lower front lip, fiberglass
-Auto latching hood pins
-New windshield 3 years ago
-Side mirrors painted black
Cons
-Speedometer doesn't work
-Radio isn't hooked up, no speakers
-Belt squeaks sometimes on startup, goes away quickly
-Passenger side window motor is weak. Still moves, just slowly
-Sunroof inoperable, could easily be fixed
-Radio surround cracked
-Sunroof has bubbling under paint, will be fixed before the sale.
Overall
OK, So if you read through all that you probably deserve a pat on the back. I believe I listed/remembered most of the major stuff, but I may have forgot some things. The general idea is that not much on this car hasn't been upgraded/modified/replaced/refreshed at some point, Its the complete package. Everything on the car works just as it should, Minus the few things I listed. The car has been LS swapped for almost 6 years now, the Procharger was added about 3 years ago. Before the Procharger the car made 460 hp/440 ftlbs to the tires, on a mustang dyno, running 93 octane. After the Procharger was added the car made 580 HP and 500 Ftlbs on the same dyno at 7 psi, running 110 octane. Its unbelieveablely fast, and will spin the 295's through the first 3 gears if you want it too. But its also very useable power if driven correctly (and carefully). Before the Procharger was added I took it to Milan Dragway here in Michigan once and it went 11.60's at 127 mph on street tires, with a terrible 60' time. Ive havent been back to the drag strip since the Procharger was put on, but I have done an open track day with it at Waterford Hills Raceway and it preformed awesome.
Why Im selling
-Its simple, I don't drive it enough, nothing more to it. A few years ago I started road racing and doing time trials in my Subaru STI with NASA, and that has pretty much taken up all of my free time. Between racing 8-10 weekends a year, maintaining the Subaru and working at my job I just don't have the time to enjoy the RX-7 like I used to. It deserves to be driven and enjoyed and will make someone else extremely happy.
Price-lowered to $14,000, firm!
-$
Some people will say im asking too little, some will say im asking too much. The fact is that its a niche market car and difficult to establish a price for. I think its well worth the price considering how much money, work and development I have into it. So I came up with a number I would be happy letting it go to someone who would really enjoy it. The price is somewhat firm, but there's always room for some negotiations. Email is easiest to get in contact with me. Fox4life@gmail.com
Enough writing, on to what everyone actually wants to see, the pictures!
