Nice one Grinder - from his sig it looks like the car is in Chester le Street which is about 20 miles south of Newcastle.
it might just be toooooooooooo far away for me to be honest ... i prob cant get it transported that far ?????????
how do i get a car from there to me ?? thats the prob ?
at that price - its a steal and another project for me .. no idea where to keep one though :(
been speaking to him - and he bought it about 10 miles from where i live - now thats annoying
he managed to drive it home aswell ...... git git git
might speak to someone about how much it will cost to get it to me .. this will be interesting !!

Hello Stu was going to put the car on here for sale but noticed someone has already done it for me.
Its a 1992 j plate.
I have the dash in bits as was fixing wipers, common fault.
I bought it last January parked it on my drive and it has not moved since.
It has had recent engine rebuild, by chap b4 me. I have the receipt
It has 61K miles on the clock, the Engine rebuild was done at 56K miles by Rotechniks. I have the invoice it cost poor chap £3562.79. It included Fully remanufactured engine, hood cover,full set hoses,radiator.
It is an import and is automatic.
It has tan leather seats with the speakers in the headrests.
It will need new battery and has hole in drivers side back box exhaust.
I have just tried to start it with jump leads, it turns over starts and runs for few seconds then stops.
The electric , roof & windows work.
There is no tax and no mot.
I want £600 no offers.
Cheers
Tony

i think its still got my name on it you know !! LOL
I just like to add that if anyone thinking of buying this that I will be leaving UK on the 13th and won\'t be back for 4 weeks.
Cheers
Tony
Better get a move on then Stu... ;)
Go on Stu - that looks like a minter !
I vaguely remember seeing this at Rotechniks, they would have done a good job. Probably got a problem with fuel pump / wiring or it\'s flooded.
I seem to have come over all jealous :Tongue1
Shame it\'s an auto
Could be transported for a small fee Stu so don\'t let that put you off.

kev - thats what i like to hear matey !!
i think i am better looking at it first !!
just that its about 135 miles from me :(
i dont need another FC but at that price it would be really rude not to !! LOL
kev can you drop me a PM on estimated cost of transport please matey :D :D
Stu
13th eh hummm this could get interesting !! lol
Am I selling my car too Cheap.
I also have Origional advertising Brochure if any interested ( excellent cond )
Also Mazda RX7 - Gold Portfolio Book by Brooklands books. (as new ) this book is £16.95 + £2.00 from brooklands books . //www.brooklands-books.com
Also 86-91 RX7 Manual on CD
your about £600 over priced in my eyes :D :D :D
this is where it gets wierd - that last cab i bought ( as a non runner which yours is ) cost me £200 ( pics are here : http://www.fc3s.co.uk )
i bought a TII with a blown engine for £400
i bought mine as a runner with FMSH and a rebuild with 12 months MOT and 6 months tax for what you are selling yours for and i drove it home ... it was only afterwards that i found it was being held together with rust !!!
it all depends on how long you want the car to sit on the drive - if it was running correctly then it could be worth £1500 - £3000 , in the state its in ... who knows
i have seen them on ebay for about £1200 and they are runners
its what people are prepared to pay - you make it too much £££££££ and people buy FD\'s - too cheap and people walk away
with yours being a non runner - it could still cost £500 to sort it - it could be anything - from a 20p seal to a £500 ecu ??
its an auto aswell - not sure if people want them or not ??
im surprised that its not been sold yet - but its the not running bit that makes people walk away - in the same situation what would you do ?? would you buy a non runner for £600 ??????????
i looked at a 1991 cab in a garage about 3 months back - it had well over 20K of work done to it in its life and that was at £1995 - but it came with a warranty and you could drive it away
like i said - all you need is a buyer to part with cash
my mate on here sold his TII with no engine for £150 and it took about 12 weeks to sell it - now that was a cheap car it really was
i dont know what to suggest to you matey
i still think it would look nice on my drive way though - but even the non running side is putting me off
i was speaking to a mate last night who is DESPERATE to buy a TII - so told him about this one .. his answers
1 - i want a coupe and nothing else
2 - i dont want a car that i need to fix first
3 - doesnt want an auto
so if people have that attitude then yeah you might struggle ???
im just not sure matey - i thought it would have been bought in a second
if you was more local and it drove - you would have had the cash a long time ago :D - and it takes a lot to get any amount of cash off me - ask anyone on this forum !! LOL
ekk thats a long post :D
Stu
( this is no way trying to spoil the sale of your car incase you think thats how it written - its just the FC market at this time )
Like you say if it were running it would have probably sold by now.
But I would have been asking more money.
As for your comments I\'m sure your right, you know a lot more about the RX7 market than I do.
the FC market has been in a bit of a state for a while now
i have seen TII swap hands for £400 and i have seen people on here trying to sell them for £5K
there is a really nice cab on here at the mo for about £3200 - but thats had a repsray and running nearly double the BHP as a stock one !
im soooooooooooooo tempted by yours to be honest matey - even if i cant get it going i can keep the wheels and fog lights :D
have you not got the time to get it running ( i know you are busy with the GTIR ) or is it a case of cant be bothered anymore ???
lets see what kev comes up with and im sure we can have a rethink
just dont let it sit on the drive and rot away - it can do that at mine ! LOL
i still assume there is no flexibilty in price ?? ( hey its worth a try - im cheap and every one here knows it !! )
stu
I don\'t think it\'s a case of being bothered anymore, I have never really been bothered with it.
I bought it as a whim as I liked the look of them.
I\'m afraid I don\'t think I could move on the price.
Should get my GTiR back this weekend, Also added HKS cams to work getting done this week. Should have about 350bhp when I get it back.
Ps GTiR only has 440cc injectors as standard
As for rusting away, I cant find any rust on the bodywork what so ever. no bubbles anywhere.
the body is usually fine - its the sills that rot away to nothing - could be worth having a prob round with a big hammer and see what its like
440cc as stock - ekk the FC runs 550/550 as stock and the FD runs 550/850\'s !!
i have had a shipping price - like i said - it just bumps the whole price up on the car and makes a bargain not a bargain ( if you know what i mean )
just need to sweet talk the better half and see what she says - then work out if its worth coming and looking at it or not ??
THUD : you dont fancy going having a nosey for me do you ????? saves me a 270 mile round trip :D
keep in touch abmunro - you are slowly convincing me !! LOL
