Afternoon all,
Long time no speak, hope you are all well.
Unfortunatly just 10months after importing the legendary "Dai Chan RX7" im having to sell it on for a new owner to enjoy. I am moving to the french alps and it is not practical to take it with me. If i had the money or any plans to return then I would store it but it just doesnt seem right having such an awesome car in a warehouse gathering dust.
Im going to be as thorough and as truthful as I can be with this sale post so there will be no surprises or dissapointment if anyone comes to view her.
Ok:
-1989 Mazda RX7 Gen2 - FC3S - GTX(import)
-Resprayed TopSecret Yellow by Top Secret\'s own bodywork/spray shop
-Running on Kei Office coilovers
-18" Advan Racing Lightweight Rims
-Bomex Aero Body Kit (first car to style this particular kit)
-Momo Race Wheel
-Bride Bucket Seat (driver only)
-Sony CD/MD player with thier Xplod ranger speakers (front only)
-Razo Gear Shifter
-Air Conditioning
-Electric Windows
-Built in rear fog light (added when car arrived in the uk)
The cars mileage reads 112500(time of pics) although the majority of that figure was run in kilometers whilst in Japan. With conversion your looking around the 80,000miles mark.
When i brought the car from Power Vehicles 10months ago I was told that the engine had been rebuilt by Re-Amemiya although I cannot prove this as all the paperwork I have is in Japanese.
As far as im concerned the car is mechanically sound and ive had no problems with it since I have had it. Saying this one minor fault I have noticed is that the car seems to have a sticky actuator meaning every once in a while it doesnt run full boost. Im told this is not a major problem.
Here are some pictures taken today:

There have been no engine modifications to this car, although it does have a Bailey Motorsport dump valve and a turbo-back stainless steel(I forget the make of it).
Now for the bad points to this car:
-Motor for Electric Windows has burnt out and will need replacing
-Rear parcel shelf is missing
-Some scuffs on the alloys from loading onto the boat :3Confused
-Plastic trim on front air vents has been cracked
-Plactic trim on top air vents has been cracked one side and removed the other
-Plastic trim around the steering column has been screwed down to tight and cracked slighty
-Rear speakers were stolen when the car was on the boat :reallymad
-Drivers door handle/mechanism need looking at or replacing, can be tricky to open and unlock if you do not know the method.
All of the above are not serious problems and sound worse than they are.
One thing I need to point out is the set up of the coilovers. They have been set up for track use and the super smooth Japanese roads. Although the car handles like an absolute demon it is very uncomftable on the UK roads, incredibly hard ride. I have the tools to adjust them but never got round to it.
Lastly, there are a few minor bodywork issues that need pointing out but I have some pictures to show you:

Ok, im pretty sure that is everything.
Im looking for £2000 for her as I move very soon and really want to see her go to a new home before then. The car has 6months MOT left and 12months TAX
She really is a lovely car and a real head turner and i hope somebody that aprechiates RX7s comes and gives her a better home.
If your interested or want to know more you can message me on here or give me a call on 07809467179.
Thanks for reading.

thanks for the comments guys, it reall pains me that i have to sell her but if you know anyone thats looking for one please forward them to my post :)
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sexy
I think it would look alot nicer without that spoiler.. GIVE IT TO MEEEE!
haha retro, you can have the spoiler for £2000, oh by the way it comes with a free RX7 ;)
haha.. sorry man, i only have £1999.99. I\'ll need to pass.. :(
ah shame :)
Hi matey, thanks for the quick chat last night.... I\'ll give you another buzz tonight to discuss (if still available.)
I smell a return to the scene Ramirez. Although you\'ve been lookin around for a long time now. Buy it you know you want to.
if it\'s not gone already.... I think I just might :P
Didn\'t have a phone on me last night sorry :/ is the car still available ?
Yes mate the car is still available, although i have had to put off viewing untill this weekend as im on crazy late shifts at work this week. Anyone is welcome to come down and view her from Sunday onwards, gimme a call and we can arrange times and that.

:)
Ive just noticed that ive put 12months tax, it only has 6 months tax.
Im reducing the price to £1800 - she needs a new owner soon as im only in the country for a short while now.
Well if you need rid of the spoiler let me know... :)
Is the engine fairly standard then ??
And what sort of power is it producing please ? :wiggle
Hi mate, the engine is unmodified and although ive never actually had it on the rolling roads the import company who helped me get it over here told me to expect just shy of 200bhp at full boost.
if its stock the its about 202 at the fly
with a decat , fcd , induction you should see about 240 ish at the fly
Bit too slow for me sadly, otherwise might have bought it this weekend !!
That price is a giveaway hopefully someone will snatch it off you mate :yes
no worries mate, im hoping someone comes to view her soon, she really is one of a kind :)
How long before you absolutely have to sell ???
As i am looking for something now and if i cant find anything suitable the style and stance of your FC is very nice :cheers
I suppose i could transplant a engine at a latter time ?
well i move to new shores at the end of november so its about 6 weeks or so i guess :s
Heard a few people on here talk about dropping the FD engine in, if possible that would be a sweet combination :p
nice car but no point sticking an FD Engine it. you can get as much power out of an FC engine. How have you tried selling it? is it advertised anywhere?
Lovely car and a steal at that price! Fingers crossed you manage to sell (and I hope it goes to a good home!)
Hi Rob, I have been looing for a second car. And almost bought a saxo. Hang my head in shame.!!!
Can I pop down on saturday and have a look please ;)
Regards Andy.
Hi mate, i got your text and I think i replied but just incase ill tell you on here too :)
Ive got a guy coming down on friday to have a look at her, if she doesnt go I will give you a text or a call and your welcome down on the saturday.
Dont buy the Saxo :p haha
Saxo ? Do you get a free baseball cap and shell suit with it ?? :Yawn:rollin
This is now Sold :(
I hope to be back with another rotary at some point in the future but for now its all about saving my pennies.
Take care everyone, see you at next years shows (ill be the sad looking man in his rover, ouch!)
Did it go to someone on here?
