This RX-7 has been my toy for about 10 years, but I don't have the time anymore.  It was originally prepared for track racing with the following suspension upgrades: Tokico springs, KYB shocks, energy suspension bushings, and front sway bar, front strut tower brace.  It has 16" Rota Formal rims with Falcon Ziex tires with ~75% tred remaining.  The 13B engine was originally from a GSL-SE, and has the '89 style upper intake.   I'm running two 800cc injectors controlled by a megasquirt ECU - secondaries are not being used at this time - still has decent power.  Has a Mindtrain header-back exhaust and an RS-R muffler.   Although the car is currently registered and inspected, I consider it a race/project car for the following reasons: 1. It has no emmision controls (although here in Texas it is old enough that it no longer needs emmisions testing). 2. It is roughly tuned: it runs rather rich - especially while warming up. 3. The hood is a custom piece - with the scoop from a Turbo-II car.  It was cut out & fiberglassed together.  Looks good from the top, not too pretty from under the hood as you can see from the picture.   

Overall the car looks great cosmetically, but it's not perfect - there are some small dings here & there.  It was re-painted the original "Tender Blue Metallic" color some time ago.  Also there is a rust spot on the undercarriage as seen in the picture.  There is also a crack on the hood scoop trim as you can see in the picture.  The seats are from a late model RX8 & in decent shape.  Mounting locations were modified to use the original RX8 hardware.  There is no radio - there is a 7" PC screen which I intended to hook up to the megasquirt for real-time viewing of engine parameters but never finished that.  You can tune & view it through a laptop and serial cable which I will include in the sale.  Some things to keep in mind:  This is a GS model which is basically the base model - no power steering(helps build upper body strength), no power windows, no sunroof, but that makes it a very light platform for racing. THE OIL METERING HAS BEEN REMOVED - so you must pre-mix.  This is the best way to guarantee the proper lubrication, but you have to remember every time at the pump.  I am using a synthetic rotary pre-mix oil.  It is quite loud!  With the header-back exhaust and RS-R muffler, you will wake the neighbors every time you start it up.   The cornering is incredible, but it rides very rough.   The AC does not work and the fan/temp controls have been moved to mount oil temp, water temp, and a wideband Air/fuel ratio gauge.  The oil & water temp gauges are currently NOT hooked up.    If any of these things concern you, then PLEASE DON'T bid.  I will include the car cover in the picture with the sale of the car.  If you have any questions, please contact me BEFORE you bid.  Thanks!

I wanted to add some additional notes: This car also has the limited slip diff from a GSL-SE.  Some additional bads: You can see from the picture of the door panel that the vinyl is starting to ripple in some places.   When I moved it I noticed some drips of oil from the oil pan - I do have a new oil pan gasket which I will include..
