WTB: s5 rx7....turbo or GTUs preferred

mazdadude7 · 11-09-2008, 07:19 PM

I just sold my fd and I have been trying to find a nice rx7 to replace it, I am having a hard time finding anything right now. I dont want anything thats hacked up beyond repair. I will consider anything thats restorable. Thanks.

I have my 192k '89 GTUs that I went 6p turbo.

-N/A block with custom turbo intake manifold (japan2la) that reshapes the ports for the n/a block.
-Other than that, it is a fully stock s5 t2 swap (all sensors, turbo, no emissions). RB downpipe, single cat mid, racing beat dual exh.
-griffin radiator (SB chevy size, custom hoses)
-Innovate wideband DB-1 (small controller, red gauge)
-HKS Fcon w/ map sensor and GCC (don't know what chip, says FEED on cover)
-boost, oil pressure, water temp gauges (with 1fastt2 DIN slots)
-stock t2 wheels, new AST 215s in back
-driver seat torn (common)
-no "usually" broken interior pieces, all the interior is intact

Bad
-traded s5 wing for t2 hood, so no wing
-motor has low oil pressure after it warms up
-condensation in oil after a few hundred miles(no known coolant leaks, never overheated)
-bad paint (not perfectly straight but no major damage, one side repainted before I got the car)
-trans has been changed so the speedo and 7-8 mph fast
-wiper switch needs replacing
-headlights will not pop up

Car is parked at parents house as I took it off insurance and parked it in their garage for the winter. I can take current pics next time I am up there (probably thanksgiving) or I can find some pics of the swap or just dated ones. Its not ragged out but it has the feel of a car thats been outside its whole life if you know what I mean. I am not even sure how much its worth (especially on the forums) given its condition as it has alot of good parts and the potential is there, but the paint and the engine troubles compound everything. If you like it I'll let you give me a price as I am torn on whether or not I want to let it go because of money invested and would need motivation, but taking a big loss in a certainty. It fits your description tho
