Interior 9 out of 10. (Wear on Drivers side seat; see pic) That’s it, Interior is Really Clean!!!

I had the mirrors, rear spoiler, and rear bumper re-sprayed ($400.00) Other then that the Paint is Original VR. I also updated it with the Mazda flying “M”

My Impression of Car:

This is my second RX7. The first one I owned was an Automatic. After about a year with that one I sold it. Too many issues with it; and people trying to rip me off. So I vowed to get another RX7. After about 18 months searching I found this one in Houston, TX. I ended up flying there from South Carolina, and driving it back. What a drive that was, absolutely a thrill to say the least.

The Car has only been seeing 10psi of boost. You will see that the Boost Controller is set to the very lowest setting. Attached is the dyno sheet (312.3hp, 268.1tq) 4th gear pull. The Power-FC is still in it’s stock configurations (meaning it has never been tuned). The performance shop that installed it, increased the fuel setting (for reliability purposes) until a certified Apexi tuner can tune it. I had Steve Osley look at the Map for me, when he had the car. He saw no issue with it at all. Steve Also set the Radiator Fans to came on at (low) 80 degrees; (Med) 85 degrees. The car never runs hot!!

Other than the Stereo Antenna not going up, the car currently has Zero Issues! I welcome anyone to come by and check it out. Of course I will not offer joy rides to non-serious buyers.

PRICE:

$19,000

Me too.

*sigh* I really wish my GF would find a job so that I'd have some cashflow again. (Paying for 2 to live is killing my car-buying opportunities. )

Yep, I have been a member of the RX7club for almost three years now.

All I can say is Capital One financing for Civilians, and USAA for Military. That is one of the three ways people get money to buy these kind of cars. The other two are saving, and taking a loan out on your house.

Talking Update!

Fresh oil change Saturday (3 June 06) (oil & filter).

She still drives like a dream. Not one issue. It felt like an ice box in the car on Saturday, even though it was 92 degrees outside; Oh, that's right, my a/c was on full blast.

New Price: $18,750


Anyone can come and check out this Wonderful FD. You just need to call me @ 803-464-4952, and we can set up a date for you to stop by. Nothing to hide here people, just a fantastic FD waiting for a new home.

You are breaking my heart. I've been lusting after this car since you posted it.
If my girlfriend was working right now, or I could sell my RX-8 without losing my shirt, I'd fly down and pick this thing up next week....

I you do decide to come and check out the car, You will not be disappointed. You will not be able to find a car for this price that can come close to the looks and the preformance of this FD

WOW, another bump. People, your missing out here. This is a deal of an RX7. You know the Compression numbers, you have testimony from a long time forum buddy (test drove and inspected "coolvette"), what else is needed? If you come an check this car out, you will not be disappointed. Below are just some random pics I have yet to post.
