The time has come in my life where I would like to spend some money on other things. I am getting married in October and looking forward to purchasing a home. I would like to sell the rx7 or trade for something practical. Open to all kinds of trades honestly.
I bought the car in December of 07', immediately planned to swap it and it was on the road in May of 08'. In a year and a half it has roughly 12k miles on the swap. I am guessing because I didn't get my autometer speedometer in the car until this spring. The car currently shows 6200 miles, so I am assuming I drove close to that last year also.
I bought the car from a doctor in Southeastern Kentucky with a blown up rotary, he had owned the car for a long time and put quite a bit of money into it but when the motor popped that was the last straw. The car was professionally painted in early 06' and had a lot of the moldings and misc seals replaced. This was not a cheap paint job like maaco, as I said, the previous owner did care a lot about his car. It had 129k when I brought it home and was clean as a whistle so it served as the perfect platform for my swap. Below is a list of every part it has, I have receipts for most everything and I can assure you that no expense was spared.
I have had zero reliability issues with the car and I drive it all the time; for 2 months over the summer it was the only car I owned
It got 26mpg on a recent trip to Bowling Green, KY from Indianapolis. The tune is dialed in and it drives perfect. You can't ask for a better street car!

On the nitrous I have to shift to 5th gear, if I had a taller tire and raised the limiter from 6800 it could run it out in 4th and pick up a few tenths and mph.
This car is well built, has the best of everything, and is an excellent example of a clean, reliable, and sorted out LS1 FC. It is a blast to drive and no one expects it to be as fast as it is.
I am asking $10,500 obo
You could never built it that cheap I am open to interesting trades, trades and cash, etc.

It would be terrible to do because the car is so nice but I have discussed parting it out as well. The rolling chassis would include the following...
1988 Mazda Rx7 Convertible
Grannies Swap Kit
Eibach Springs
KYB Adjustable Struts
Sportmax (now XXR) Wheels
17x7.5 225/40/17 Maxxis Victra MA-Z1 Front
17x8 255/40/17 Sumitomo HTR II Rear
Wheels and tires have less than 10k on them.
Prothane Bushing Kit
TII Rear end (S4) w/ extra stub axle and half shaft
Mazda Trix Comp Diff Mount
Mazda Trix Rear Steer Elimination Kit
Pinion Snubber - Totally eliminates wheel hop.
Optima Red Battery - Relocated to trunk - 2g Cables
Hinson Radiator Setup ( This is $5xx as it is!)
Hinson Elec Fan controled by pcm.
Camaro non-cruise Throttle Cable
Carbon Fiber Cover for area in front of the radiator
Sway Bar Relocation Kit
Hinson Master Cylinder w/ adapter
Bosch 044 Pump In-tank
-6 Feed and Return
S5 Stereo Surround
Alpine CD/MP3/ Ipod Deck
Alpine 4" Front Speakers
Infinity 6.5" Door Speakers
NOSNHOJ Enterprise 6pt Roll Bar
Hinson Driveshaft
Momo Corse Seats - Wedge Engineering Brackets
Autometer C2 Cluster
Tach, Speedo, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Volts, Fuel Level
This setup would be $5000 and would be an excellent start for anyone…
Obviously I prefer to sell the car together but I would be willing to go this route if someone will pick up the roller first.
Please let me know if you have questions.
