Default 93 LS1 Powered R1 RX7 For Sale

I've decided to move into something different and sell my 93 LS1 RX7.

The car is a black on black R1, no sunroof, no rear wiper, and suede seats. It is the lightest RX7 out there and with the conversion weighs in at under 2,800lbs.

137K on the chassis, 74K on a stock 98 LS1.

6 Speed manual(brand new slave 500 miles ago)
Complete Hinson conversion including CAI, cooling, and fuel system.
Enkei RP01 17x8 and 17x9's up front
JTR Long tube 1 3/4 headers into a 3" Y and 3.5 single outlet
Brand New Falken Beta's 500 miles ago 235/40 and 255/40
Eibach Lowering Springs
Stock Mazda Touring Shocks(removed the R1's for better ride)
Brand new Bonez brake pads and comes with a set of twice tracked Hawk Blacks.
4.11 gears
Adjustable Power Steering

The car dyno'd 310/328 before the headers and the headers really woke things up.

I've never drag raced it but most run 117-119 deppending on their weight and my car is one of the lightest out there, a similar car weighed in at 2765.

It pulls hard, very very hard, hard than my heads/cam LS1 Camaro did and any work you do to it has twice the return as a F body due to the weight. 400rwhp cars turn over 126mph in the 1/4.

My only performance figure for those familar, I hit 142mph down the straight at Grattan Raceway braking hard with the Blacks on the car.

The body itself is a 10, no dings, no dents, everything is perfectly straight. The paint is a 7 in spots, 10 for the rest. It is the original Mazda factory paint which was NOT clearcoated so when I have it polished it looks new again.

The interior is in good shape but Mazda is know for the poor interior plastic quality in 93. The plastic itself is fine, but the coating was crap. I pulled the entire thing and repainted it last year.

Car does not have AC but I have it all, just needs to be put on the car. The AC will work.

You will not find a lighter car out there. All the gauges work, ABS works, and you'd never know you that the motor wasn't meant to be in the car.

I've inspected the chassis front to back last year when I disassembled it. 137K is alot of miles but in the end no amount of mileage matters if the parts are in good condition. This was an Arizona car that never saw salt and is clean underneather, since its been in Michigan never saw rain nor salt, stored winters.

No play in the ball joints, all of the bushings are in good shape and show no play. When I had it aligned it lined up perfect with no problems

I did replace the toe link connectors with solid units and replaced 2 of the "pillow *****" in the rear of the car, 2 more need to be replaced and I have the pieces. I can do this before the sale if you like. Also now has adjustable front stay bar adjusters.

Its a fantastic car and you can do things in it that you wouldn't dare do in a heavier car. It can drift through corners with light throttle and remain perfectly neutral. Even if it gets away from you its very easy to bring back in line.

Knocks down 27mpg on the freeway too.

20K takes it which is right in the middle of their current selling prices, most go for 18-22. Pics below.

Thanks

I forgot to mention you CAN finance this car.

Capital One will fianance ANY car for pretty much any price as long as you meet a debt to income ratio like on a mortgage.

I have the 7 financed through them now at 5.99 percent and I think they are offering 6.45 percent.

This does not have to be a cash deal. Capitol One is very easy to work with and handles all of the paperwork via Fed Ex.

19K As is.

I had planned on replacing 2 pillow ball joints in the rear and putting on the PS plus a door handle on the interior.

There are others for sale at www.torquecentral.com. Once mine sold the bandwagon started

The median sale price is 20K. They go between 18 and 22. My interior, like all RX7's wasn't as pristine plus the engine is stock so I took 19 because I came across a killer deal on a built C5 so what I "lost" on my RX7 I got back jumping on the c5 deal.

I think last count there were 35 LS1 FD's around the country.

We'll see tomorrow. I'm on a flight tomorrow to pick the car up and then the fun begins. My goal is to run 9's in the quarter. I hope to be around 550-600hp when its all said and done. Wish me luck
