Hi guys.
 
Joined up a little while ago to do some research before i spent my hard earned. Finally im now in a position to buy a 7.
 
I have £8k max to spend on one. Im hoping (fingers crossed) to find a well built example that has already had a single turbo conversion along with a rebuild, preferably with a warranty.
 
I have been looking on various car sale sites for a couple of weeks and i have found a couple on Piston Heads that seem right. Hopefully i will be viewing a couple this weekend.
 
Apart from this sites classifieds section, PH, Ebay and Autotrader, can anyone recommend a site that has RX7\'s for sale?
 
Thanks.

Hmmm - not a site per se, but give the garages a ring - they often know of customers who are looking to sell - and you\'ll also get the bonus that you know which garage has worked on it ;)

Off the top of my head, i\'d try Super7 Autos, Re:Worx, Jimmies of Norwich, Carl at Hayward Rotary, and Pip at WGT.  There are a couple of others too, but their names escape me for now.

Another good place to look would be FDUK.org - I think they have a classified section too

Ah, thats a good idea. Not thought of that.
 
Heres the main one i\'am interested in at the moment:
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/849655.htm
 
Dont suppose if he is a member of the site?
 
Engine seems strong from the description, graphics are not quite to my taste but im sure they can be removed.

yeah, that i believe is a member\'s from here.

Mine is also for sale at £6.5k and is single turbo with a rebuilt engine, but seeing as though you\'ve looked on PH, you\'ve probably already discounted it.

Nikp. Yours seems ideal. The only problem is i dont like Red cars and a respray ontop of the car price is out of my budget sorry.
 
Chr007. I will keep an eye on your add for when it is remapped.

if it was built by hayward like the add says, i\'d give them a ring and ask about it, chances are they did the single turbo conversion too. The car is a bit pricey in the current market but it looks like it\'s been very well looked after too

anyhu, good luck :Thumbsup!

This is Sy\'s car - he is a member and this car should be visible in the for sale section shortly if it isn\'t already?!
I\'ve met him - top guy, seen the car in the flesh - mint is the word!

We have a freshly rebuilt one for 4k, then you can spend another 4k getting it just how you like it, and it comes with a 12 month warranty. I spent £10.5k buying mine and im still spending money on it now :(
