Been offered a 1988 RX7 TT

[Mobilemick]

Its got 12 Months MOT, bits of overspray under the front end, and the boot, doesnt look like its been bumped,
No documents with it MOT says its a 1988 but says 1998 on the MOT.?

It had a new roof about 12 monthts ago,and its a automatic, Drives nice no knocks or creaks  lol

Or maybe one of you lot owned it before,

hummmmmmm depnds on the price really

although a yellow cab - yummmie

is it in bolton .. never seen it around ??

Stu

[Mobilemick]

It is in Bolton Now, but been told it was stood for a while,  Mileage says 65543 miles, or is it KM. ?

Thought i saw somewhere on here, about entering VIN number to find previous owners.

How much do these go for now on a E reg..

Mick

[Prof]

Where are all these Verts coming from - and now that summer is coming to and end ! :Giggle
 
Never seen one in yellow before - that must make it quite unusual

[Mobilemick]

Think it was stood for a while and then me mate bought it in january and never used it,  and i found out about it last week,

Mick

[grinder]

looks very nice in yellow - are you gonna tell us how much is it ( or is it a secret ?!?! )

is it a UK or an import ??

any sign of a rebuild ?

Stu

[Mobilemick]

Oh yeah.  he asking £1500 and its a import,(think it was imported in 98).  Nothing obvious as to being rebuilt,  but not looked properly

Mick

[grinder]

if you want a hand checking it over - just let me know - im only in chorley

check it for rust - although imports dont suffer it much

i just got a cab today aswell

Stu

[grinder]

and its defo a 1988 - its the S4 version ( i think it will be about 185 bhp ish )

the later S5 were 202bhp ( both flywheel power )

still .. i like it in yellow

Stu

[Mobilemick]

Sailed through the MOT,  so think rust would be fine,  The carpet behind drivers seat was a little soggy. and it looks tatty, so gonna rip the carpets out, and get some new ones,

Just spoke to me mate ,he says i can have it for £1000,  but he owes me £300 so its sounding cheaper all the time  lol


Is that the black cab, u got ?

[Mobilemick]

the guy i bought it off had it 6 months and parked it up,  the guy before had it 3 months and parked it up, and the guy before that, got a 12 months MOT on it, and parked it up for 12 Months ??


lol

[grinder]

so i take it that you are a proud owner now ??

never seen it before around these parts - and im usally very good at tracking them down

and yeah - i just got a black one ( although its a green / blue colour ! )

Stu

[Mobilemick]

Yeah,

the roof stopped working as well, but manged to sort that out after i`d bought it .  just looking for a nice set of carpets now, and gonna change the oil and fit some new plugs, cos it got 2 normal ngks in it??  

anyone have part numbers for oil/filters/plugs etc.

was gonna stick some slick 50  or should i use semi synthetic.

congrats matey

the roof - glad you got it sorted out - you can wind up up and down manually aswell if the motors stop working - there is a mechanism on the motors for this ( same as elec sunroof - you can usually wind them manually )

the plugs - they should be something like BUR9EQ ( and T for top plugs and L for lower plugs )

oil filter - anywhere should sell these - i think they are about £3 at my local car place in chorley

oil - i use castrol mineral oil 10/40 - have a search about synthetic oil - its been discussed MANY times

i do the oil and filter every 2000 miles or 12 months which ever comes sooner ( and for me its every 12 months - so not tooooooo bad )

any more question - just fire away !!

not sure if you are into the "meet" scene - but we have a monthly meet in warrington

Stu

[Mobilemick]

Got 4 BUR9EQ plugs and oil filter for £36,  not have air filter in stock..

But gotta send off for log book (6 weeks), so cant tax it

but warrington aint that far
