Up for regrettable sale is my Rare Competition Yellow 1992 RX7 Type R FD3S Twin Turbo.
Its something ive been thinking of doing for a while now but haven\'t really wanted to. .
Over my ownership which hasnt been long, i have already ploughed well over £10000 inc car which is money i didnt have. Since im not using it as often as id like to and that i have a few other cars, 2 kids and a newborn ive decided to let someone take it on as there own.
When im in a better financial position i will buy another or possibly buy this one back.
After purchase the engine gave up on its second outing. Carl Hayward and Pip from WGT were both great and in the end i came out with a 6000mile streetported engine which was built by Carl Hayward himself. Pip fit the engine and got me a proper ecu as we think the ecu was at fault, Knightsports jobbie. He fit an Apexi PFC.
Compression results.
Rear Rotor
7.7
8.1
7.4
Front Rotor
7.7

A very healthy engine!!
Buyer will be 3rd owner.
I believe the bonnet is RE-amimiya, which is a great fit. Finished with carbon bonnet holders.
Recently refurbished Wedsport alloys wrapped in toyos
HKS Hypermax coilovers
Awesome hks boostgauge
Omoni or Omori oilpress, oil temp, and water gauges (will need rewiring)
Mazdaspeed Carbon dash and surround
Mazdaspeed steering wheel with D1 silver snap off kit
Full exhaust system which sounds great but quiet. I was told by pip that this is quite restrictive and changing the exhaust will unleash an extra 35/40bhp!!!!
Apexi air filters 99 spec
Late spec bumper splitter (slight crack but easily repaired or cable tied, lol.)
Very rare R Magic PFC Holder
Dump valve
RX7 floor mats
Central locking
Rare endless brakestopper and probably loads more...
MOT till march 2013 and around 4 months tax left
There is probably alot more im missing. Please bare in mind the car is from 92 so doesn\'t looks factory fresh. While the outside looks immaculate, if your like me and your a perfectionist, the interior is abit tired. The plastic interior bits could do with replacing or respraying as there abit scratched. Common for rx7s. The exterior door handles could do with a respray. Front bumper splitter as above. The alarm siren could do with looking at.. 2nd gear is slightly stiff when cold, but fine after 5 minutes.
The car is very fast and not to be underestimated. Especially when the 2nd turbo kicks in. Its starts no problem warm or cold. Your welcome to come and view it. Located FY2 Lancashire..
With the amount of money i have spent you should have a very reliable RX7, my huge loss is your huge gain!! You wont regret your purchase!!
Any questions, please ask...
I am willing to listen to offers as this needs to go.. Thanks

No sorry...
Ive listed on ebay for a start price of only £4350. no reserve....
Stunning! :)... and a great price!
GLWTS, not that you should need it!
Would you take 4k for it?
Oh and have the water issues been fixed?
Water issue was ast cap mate. New one and its sorted. No water loss.
And i wouldnt take 4k for it as i know it would break for more... plus id rather keep it than give it away. Im in no rush.
I would take 4500...

Rx7 isn\'t for you bud if budgets are tight
Love how people make comments like that, I have owned many and still own a highly modded rx7 that I\'ve spent over 20k on over the last 8-10 years of ownership I don\'t have an issue running my Rx or the other vehicles I sill own. Don\'t presume it\'s for me.
