just want to know how much my Rx is worth tried that webuyantcar.com and they said 2070 so i thought id ask on here for a valuation will get pics up in a bit but heres my description of the car
the car is a 95 rx7 type r with full feed 2 bodykit its sprayed in the sparkling red that they come in
18” Konig Monsoon white wheels with chrome lips wrapped in Bridgestone tires makes the car stand out
Showing 108000 KMs that’s about 67miles on the clock
2 previous owners since imported in 1998.
TYPE-R so it comes with twin oil coolers suspension has been uprated its got a full stainless steel exhaust and twin apexi air filters its had a new exedy clutch fitted to it about 3 months ago running at about 300 bhp going to get compression test done on it this next sometime when i find out somebody who can do near to where i live
its also registered as a 1.3 so 6 months tax cost 66 quid
if you have a rebuild and in good nick. i dont see why you shouldnt get 7k+
no rebuild around 2-4k
when i bought the car i asked the guy about this as i didnt want a nasty one read and know all about the rotary engine and how the tips can go went see this one and the guy said engine had been rebuilt prior to it coming from japan he didnt have a receipt for it as he bought it from keighley car centre and said they only bought cars from dealers in japan took it for a drive and had it RAC inspected never gave me any problems but iam going to get it compression tested does anyone know who does it in the lancashire area
good man, best to check
Without proof of a rebuild it brings down the price a fair amount imo.
Mazda will do you a compression test mate
One worrying part is "Keighley Car Centre" in that sentence.
Shaun
I agree, Probably the worst reputation throughout the car forum network
Nearest place to go is WGT (J18 M6) for a compression test.
Shaun
yeah the keighley car centre is a worry :(
try either WGT or Lindop for a comp test ( athought lindop are now called something else and i cant think what !! LOL )
Silverstone Autosport Stu me old fruit ;)
thats the one !! :D
here are some pics of my rx7

let me know what you all think
Think I saw this on RX7club in shineautos thread- remember it from the overspray which is horrific, but otherwise a nice FD :).
would love to give it a new home - but she would kill me !
overspray u say can you tell me where please ill look for it on rx7club
errr. your oil coolers and power steering coolers have been painted red. unless you actually intended do do that??
i did that intentionally its because i had some black mesh on the front it used to look alright had the front bumper redone as it cracked got some nasty potholes in East Lancashire
i ve put it on ebay lets see what happens got it booked in with a subaru specailist who has the equipment to do a compression test on thursday hope all goes well what would be good readings
if they have the correct kit for a rotary (piston engine tester is not a lot of good) you should get 3 readings per rotor, I.E 7.1, 7.1, 7.2 front and 6.8, 6.9 6.9 bar rear obviously yours will not be the same as those stated.
just noticed has it had a front end crash? the bonnet is miss shapen at the passenger wing in the pic
might be worth you sticking your ebay link up ;)
sorry the forgot about the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120476854961&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123
the car hasnt been in a smash had it hpid when i bought it to much money to waste i asked the guy bout the bonnet he said he got it like that when he bought the car bonnet didnt bother me much but i did want to change it for a black one but now i have decided to sell the car to buy a family car wife hates it and i cant get kids in back so she has to do school runs its been a good car to me pity i have to sell it really but you have to keep her indoors happy aswell
i asked the subaru specialist about the rotary engine compression test and he said his mate has one that he bought when he worked at a garage so hopefully find out tomorrow about the readings
as already stated keighley trade has a terrible reputation on every car forum ive ever been on
Chances are it has had front end damage as thats what keighley normally buy " or so im told" ( little legal disclamer there)
But if the compression is good then i cannot see why its not worth 5-6k maybe a little more.
No/poor test 3-4k unless someone comes along and has no idea about the car they are viewing and just buy because the heart tells them too
We have all been there ends up costing a fortune:rollin
Someone picked up a rotary compression tester from the states for just under £200 delivered.
Its over on fduk and the vids of it show it as a pretty good piece of kit!....ill be buying one before i go and look at any rx7 in the future from now on.
Also for the car, seriously dude sort out the overspray and the bonnet dont do it any favours. Sort that out and you may sell it.
But personally if anyone told me that it had came from keighly trade or whatever they are called id be running a mile!!
Sorry mate sounds like a lemon to me :(
As i posted on the other forum mate,
Stock ecu+decat=KaBooM
No proof of rebuild and currently at 60k\'ish miles,
Be lucky to get 3k mate im afraid!!!
\'She\'s gonna blow captain! - get her to a recognised tuner for a health check, it\'s the only way you\'re going to sell it. Do you not think the overspray is a problem? your headlights are pink! and have no plastic surround which is strange, they have obviously been off the car at some point.
Don\'t tell any potential buyers about Keighley Trade Centre!
Does the speedo read in MPH? if so, what was the KM reading when it was imported because since then (2007) you\'ve been doing miles, not kilometers so the mileage will be higher.
If it was 80K imported that is 50K miles plus the 28K miles you\'ve done is more like 78K in miles!
took it to subaru speacilist he didnt get hold of the kit from his mate now iam getting a bit worried i think i need to get it 2 wgt on monday how long does it take for the test also got the covers for the lights inside was changing the bulbs to some brighter ones thats why they where off took them pictures after i had washed looks as though going to have to spend some money on this to get it right engines perfect on it but need to be sure
cheers for everybodies responses will keep you informed

the overspray in the engine bay, the bent bonnet, misaligned headlights, oil coolers and rads covered in red paint mate are not a good sign... Front end accident is a definate in my opinion....i would get some matt black and paint all the red overspray over the coolers, pipes etc .... I think the car is gonna be a tuff sell if u are expecting to see more than 2k...spend some time and tidy up the engine and front end and you will see a better return....
sold it last night 3k guys took it back to birmingham
Is somone having a laugh???
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1290803.htm
£5k good luck!!
Name that tune..... Dreeeeam ***** ***** ;)
good luck to him i knew the guy was a trader and chatted to me like he had loads of them still i am happy with the sale i got back what i wanted for it
the guy has had a few rx7\'s....lives near a friend of mine as i recognise the car garage opposite...5k is optimistic.....3k is a good return in my opinion...
that guy selling it now is a useless chump. Had the misfortune of meeting him once. He spun me a load of BS about his car, its power, at which point i literally got bored, didnt say a word, got back in my car and drove off
amazing how prices vary...sold for 3k...advertised for 5k a week later....now up for 6.5k....
yep - Id\' spotted that too - was looking for the thread to post on so cheers! ;)
Some peeps, just out to make a quick buck!..... or not so in this case, as it\'s been up for some time now and is well overpriced!
