Want to Trade: My 1985 Mazda Rx-7 for Another Project (Near Indiana)
Hey fellas,
I'm really new here, and have had a blast looking around and reading up on all of the excellent information you guys have compiled. I'd like to say that this forum is absolutely amazing, as far as the technical information is concerned. With that said, I would like to introduce the car that I am interested in trading.
My reason for wanting to trade is pretty straightforward. I am an engineering student at Purdue University, and I love to work on cars. I have been working for the last couple of years on my 1985 Rx-7 and I have pretty much finished the restoration, and I am looking to move on to another project. I'm hoping to eventually get a job in the automotive engineering field, so I use these car projects as learning devices, to hopefully add to my knowledge base. The Rx-7 was a great adventure, but as you probably know it has a rotary engine, which isn't very prevalent in society. I absolutely love the uniqueness of the car, the power, the body style, and it runs great. However, I need to start learning about conventionally engined cars if I am going to pursue a career in the automotive engineering industry. I'd like to get something in fairly respectable condition to start with, but I'm open to hear any interesting offers anyone might have. I am located in Richmond, Indiana. Here are some specs on my Rx-7. I am entertaining any interesting offers. I'm mainly looking to trade projects with someone who might be interested....
1985 Mazda Rx-7 GS
-Approx. 90,000 miles
-12A Engine
-Racing Beat light flywheel
-Racing beat exhaust
-Rebuilt carburetor
-New Radiator
-New clutch disc, pressure plate, and hydraulics.
-Accel 8mm plug wires
-New brakes & Master cylinder
-New battery & Battery cables
-Mechanical fan to Electric fan conversion
-Front mount oil cooler with braided stainless lines
-Converted from automatic to 5 Speed manual
-Holley fuel regulator
-Carter 7 lb. fuel pump
-Fuel tank has been lined and restored.
-Interior restored
-Grant steering wheel
-Car just painted white
-MSD Blaster 2 Coils
-Triangulated strut bar
-Fire extinguisher
-Pioneer CD Player in glove box
-Lots of other stuff I probably forgot....
I probably have about $5000-$6000 invested in this car overall. It is VERY quick, and nimble. It handles very nicely, and it is a blast to drive. I also have a set of wheel adapters and 16 inch wheels that I would be willing to trade along with the car. The engine revs smoothly all the way up to 7K. With the mods I have done you can still make your passengers involuntarily stare at the headliner. If anyone is interested, or would like to shoot me an offer please feel free to do so. My email is Glazedham42@aol.com or you can just post in this thread and I will find it. If anyone would like some more pics please ask. Thanks guys! Later....
