1994 Mazda RX-7, widebody, LS7, T56, 8.8", 565rwhp, Racelogic TC, more.....
 

My good friend Rich has owned this car for many a years... It was originally another Rich's car who was in California also and built it. It started out as as a stock bodied FD and LS6/stock rear diff/AP 13" brakes, and freshly rebuilt T56 and was a Cali BAR'd machine. It evolved into a freshly painted Montego blue widebody car with Pettit rear flares/bumper, Ronin front flared fenders, M2 racing vented CF hood with AeroCatch latches, and a healthy wet sump 427ci LS7 running a Cobra 8.8" IRS out back with Forgeline wheels. The cars focus has always been a streetable track Gudzira!

The goods:
1994 Touring model FD factory Montego blue color. This has the preferred interior plastics.... the ones that don't crack when you look at them.
427ci LS7 block, stock LS7 crank with the snout cut down, Ls7 Ti rods, wiseco 11.25:1 pistons, wcch ported LS7 heads with Ti 2.2" valves, ported LS7 intake with 56# ZR1 injectors, LG Motorsports G5x3 cam, Holley cable 90mm TB,
GZ Motorsports vacuum pump (helps keep ring seal optimal and blow by to a minimal)
JTR 1 7/8" long tubes, 3.5" Magnaflow s/s polished muffler. Fbody oil pan, Improved Racing baffle, oil cooler with approx 5K miles on it.
Made 565rwhp/505rwtq on Newtech Motorsports dyno on 91 octane.
Turn One p/s pump, a/c in place, battery located in the rear bins, stereo upgraded with better speakers, Kenwood 640w amp/JL Audio 6" mini box subwoofer.
AP Racing 13" 4 piston brakes front, 12.9" '99 RZ rears, s/s brake lines. ABS intact and working. This car stops!
Rebuilt Stg2 T56 transmission approx 15K miles. Monster stageV single disc clutch. Shifts very tight....no slop or issues.
8.8" Cobra diff with 3.73 gears, DSS axles, 3.5" alum driveshaft. No unusual gear whine like some have.
Samberg mounting equipment/radiator and cooling components
Recovered FD seats with fresh leather/suede. Rare glass sunroof.
Racelogic Traction adj Control. Stock engine PCM with HPTuners tune for 91 octane
black interior, RaceShop chromoly roll bar, RCI 5pt quick release seat belts, Accusump, hard mounted removable fire extinguisher. Momo Corse 300mm steering wheel
Forgeline 18x11 315 R888 fronts, 18x12.5 335 RA1 rear
All poly bushings/rear pillowballs replaced, Megan racing coilovers
TriPoint Engineering adj hollow modular front sway bar/billet mounts
Freshly repainted as of 9/25/2015 bumper, hood, front fenders, rear flared fenders. The car looks awesome once again!
Front bumper and fender openings have s/s mesh in them. Very nicely done and riveted firmly in place. Rear fenders riveted on for easy servicing if needed (ie carnage from racing)
100% rust free..... as in not even a spec. Clean CA title.

Flaws:
small crack in paint above fuel door, some minor rock chips on passenger door, rear hatch had an R1 wing and holes have been closed up with plugs. The small plastic cover for the trunk/gas tank release is tan.... and has been painted... its scuffed.
Accusump pukes a little by the valve.... Not a big deal as per Accusump.
Cold start until it reaches 110* water temp needs some throttle input. Once warmed up its all good. ***It has a nasty cam and further tuning is needed***
A couple minor dings near fuel door will be removed by a ding repair guy. Tires are old and for track duty are not optimal. Either replace or learn the car with them on. The car has an aggressive alignment for handling. This can be mellowed if preferred but will adversely affect handling.

The big question is why is Rich liquidating his stable? A 2010 ZR1 is calling his name... And there you have it.
Rich has been a member of the original v8rx7, torquecentral, and now the current norotors.com forum. Dude.... we are old
He did a handful of track days with the car.... but for the most part it was just a bad ass street car.

I'll post up more pics later tonight.

Vs. a stock GTR that ran 10.8's

go to 2 min 30 sec. 10.9 pass on the RA1 tires (it makes more HP now due to the straight shot intake)

Monday bump

had a stock one and it was awesome* can only imagine how badass this thing is** GLWS,,, if it already hasn't!

NOOOOOOOO don't sell it.

Anywho to anyone interested this is one of the best sorted RX-7 swaps out there! GNX you just need to buy it lol

Holiday bump!

"Anywho to anyone interested this is one of the best sorted RX-7 swaps out there!"

This thing clearly needs a tune, how is it the best sorted car RX7 swap?
>Ebay Coilovers
>Ricer mesh in cheap front bumper
>missing horn button
>cheap momo wheel
> LED light is overlapping the button on the *cracked* racelogic panel
>cheap gauges
>dated obsolete alpine deck
>the cheapest harnesses possible WITH stock seatbelts? lol
>No floormats.


This car is maybe worth 30k.
Please stop smoking crack. There is no way a car in this condition is worth that much.

You must of been fed paint chips as a child. You don't need floor mats in a car that clean.

lol you really made an account just to post that? strong troll is strong

Lol. Good call there.

And there's another bump for seller for not immediately bashing the dude.
Whether or Not The car is worth asking price is irrelevant. Let the market play out. Don't be mad when he doesn't take your $20k cash offer.

I have been drooling over this thing on craigslist. Awesome build. Too bad I am poor. Hah.

Monday bump. Dropped to $38K
The cold start issue has been tuned and it starts in 40* weather and idles like it should.

Quick overview:
$13K+ motor
$6K+ trans/Cobra 8.8"
$10K+ paint/body
$3K+ brakes
$3K+ Kmember/radiator kit
$5K+ Forgeline wheels/tires
doesn't count cost of the car, labor, any suspension upgrades/corner weighting, oil cooler setup, Accusump, redone interior, exhaust fab, cromoly rollbar, further sorting, Racelogic, tuning etc.
$350/each dual display SPA gauges are not cheap.

There are many hundreds of hours put into this car. Any car can be picked apart.... and can be further modified by the new owner as we know.

Excellent looking FD. These are a blast!

2016 bump! Kick ass on the road course and still run 10's at the strip. 30 mins of pleasure always outweighs 10 seconds ;)

Smog?
 

Hi how do you get the car smogged?


thanks,


Curt

To the top

bump for you :)
Any idea where my old FD is? it was blue but sold to bill lackey who painted it red and LS7'd it and pure track car. I thought you bought it.

I rocked it for about a year with a fresh 438ci setup, Gforce GSR dog box. First time at Laguna Seca with about 45 mins of total track time I did a 1:35 best lap.. in the same session the oil pump belt flew off and I seized the motor. He ran a 1:33 flat... and said there was a lot more in it.... It was also gobbling up NASCAR starters ($400 used) almost every weekend I took it out. So the next owner opted for an LS2 with LS3 heads (460rwhp) that I built and it is still going after 2 seasons...., T56 Magnum and was setting local track records in his class. Cameron Rogers owns it and is a NorCal guy.

Bill turned that into one bad ass track car! He completely tore it apart....had it media blasted... then the chassis powdercoated. You could eat off of it. Wish I could've afforded to keep it running. It's nickname was Candy the stripper. Every weekend you threw money at it.

Motivated seller. Price adjusted to $35K obo
