VA 1987 Mazda RX7 with LS1 V8 Swap - $8000 (Springfield) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I built this 1987 RX7 back in 2014 with the intention of keeping it, but life must go on and I have now decided to sell my car.

It is LS1/T56 swapped and has been running beautifully ever since the day it first started up. This car is light weight with tons of torque and is an absolute joy to drive. It puts a smile on my face every time I get on it and has never let me down.

While not suitable for everyday driving, this car would be great for someone who is looking for a weekend driver to tinker with, or to use as a base for building a drift car, or even to part out and rebuild. If you provide the cash, the car is yours and you can do whatever you please with it.

It is currently outfitted with ...

Stance GR+ coilovers
a custom catless exhaust with x-pipe
Crown Victoria 16x7s
205/50ZR-16 BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2 Summer Tires

The body is in good shape for its age and the paint on it is still decent looking ever since it was repainted 2 years ago.

If I were to keep it, the next things I would add would be some nice swaybars and a limited slip differential, but I figured that the next owner should be the one who chooses what this car gets next.

Everything still seems to work on this 29 year old car, the headlights work, the taillights work, the sunroof works, some of the dash lights work, the wipers work, and the seat belts work.

On the downsides, the windshield washer pump does not work (recently just failed), the power steering whines, the car is extremely loud at highway speeds, has interior rattles, has no a/c, gets decently hot inside the cabin during summer months, might have a coolant leak or burn since the reservoir always seems to get low, and will constantly need self inspections for safety reasons.

The car can be driven safely on the road, but will most likely need to have antique or historic tags for the remainder of its life unless you are able to have it successfully state inspected. This is the reason why it is most suitable as a weekend driver or off-road track/drag/race/drift vehicle.

I am more than willing to allow you to test drive this vehicle if you can prove to me that you have the available funding to purchase the car. Otherwise, please do not contact me.

Thanks!
