  FS/FT 1989 Mazda RX-7 convertible with 1991 TurboII swap


Just getting a feel for interest on this car. It's a clean 1989 rx-7 convertible with the turboII motor, trans, driveshaft and diff from a 1991 TII coupe.
Chassis has 106,000 miles, drivetrain has around 85,000 miles and was taken care of very well by the previous owner.
The turboII swap plus the racingbeat exhaust make the vert really shine. it's damn quick and sounds really good without being too loud.
I bought this car without thinking of the economics of it. I get about 20mpg on average with this and with my 60+ miles a day driving, keeping it gassed up is killing me.
Asking $5000 obo Since I bought it i've fixed a lot of interior things, warning gauge cluster, HVAC controls, reinstalled the cruise control. for the engine, its got new NGK spark plugs and wires. I've fixed a few boost leaks that were causing poor driveability.
replacing the driveshaft as soon as the part comes in as well. the u joints are worn out on the current one.
Other than that it drives well, is quick and is great with the top down.
Probably needs a brake job in the near future, and the turbo has an oil seal leak on the turbine side. it only smokes after a cold start (after about 20sec to 1min of idle) or if let sit idle for a few min once warmed up. other than that, it does not smoke at all.
I'm open to trades, preferably if its a trade + money.
I have the title in hand for this car and it is completly clean.
looking for another s14 mainly, but am open to other ideas.

bump. also want to mention that I have a granny's speed shop small block chevy v8 swap kit as well, that can be negotiated into the deal.
it's pretty complete, just need an engine and t56 trans and you can have an even faster FC vert!

Would trade for a S14, or 2000 maxima SE
or maybe a sr swapped s13 (coupe

p.s. I had this car on the dyno and it put down 200hp to the wheels. not too shabby.

i have an SR20det swapped 240sx hatch

the Sr20det just got rebuilt (I am a mechanic/machinist and did all the work myself)

is got some usual small upgrades such as FPR and elec fans

its on megan 32 way adj track coils and has infinity G20 rims in the front and 18' damani rims in the rear

I have the rear and front sway bars (godspeed) but have not installed them yet

running a brand new ACT clutch

aaand I know im forgetting something, but if your interested we can talk about it more. lastly we would have to see for shipping, its not hard to do but it might cost around $500 on each end.

thanx

CJ

will do this weekend. I cant from my house cuz we just moved in and we have on net yet (we're stealing it from the neighbors) so ill do it when i go down to my other house this weekend.

I also have another very important question i overlooked, does this car pass smog in your state, and what are the stats, so i can see if it passes in cali.

thanx

no go on the smog.
it pretty much has EVERY emissions control part taken off of it.
the racing beat exhaust is a turbo back exhaust with no cats in it... it definitly would not pass cali smog unless you got a hookup somewhere. it technically doesnt pass NC inspection either, but 95 and older cars are kind of overlooked in the emissions dept now that they only have to pass a visual and not a sniffer test anymore.

sh*t...... I can't grab it then. thats a really nice car too, I would have loved to own a little vert with a turbo rotary in it but altho it wouldnt be much of a hassle to pass it through smog, i just need a stock, or almost so car to daily drive, so i want it to be street legal.

Im sorry i wasted your time man, hope you have better luck with someone else

damn cali smog laws

I just put a new brake master cylinder in, alpine head unit, pioneer front speakers and kicker rear speakers. new driveshaft, brakes, and possibly wheels and tires are on the way. $4,000 is my rock bottom price at this point, if i don't end up keeping the car. once I get all the work done I want to, it'll probably be closer to $5,000 again. The more I dfrive this car, the less I want to sell it.
