I had a build thread on the last forum and Was just at the point of getting my car running when it went down and i lost my thread. I have been planning on a new build thread and now that the car is 99% done, here it is
For a long time I have bought, sold and parted out third gen RX7's. I think I have owned around 14 so far. So I was constantly on the forums and for sale sites looking for good FD's. This car came up on in a for sale on a Friday and that night I was driving it home. Several people were trying to buy the car and put deposits on the car to hold it for them in the few short hours it was for sale. I was simply at the right place at the right time.
Here it is. A 1995 number 496 of 499 built that year. Sitting on a set of 99spec wheels. 70k miles.
And here's the engine bay.
The car set exactly the way I bought it for a couple years. Occasionally driven on the weekends, until it was time for the swap.
Engine sourced from a 2006 GTO LS2 with 35k miles.
JTR 1 7/8 header were the very first part to show up. Their shipping was exceptionally fast.
All Samberg mounts including (but not pictured) cobra cradle.
Sub frame powder coated and installed.
Build Date on the car 12/95. It has the series two stuff on it like this 96-99 second gen ABS system.
Have to go back to work Ill up date some more tonight.
