1993 Mazda Rx-7 R1 Coupe 2-door 1.3l on 2040-cars

History:

I purchased it in the fall of 2000 from a seller in Tennessee.  Within a year, the engine blew (tip seal) at the track, around 92k miles.  Over the following winter the engine was rebuilt… The intake was ported, lightweight flywheel installed, new stock turbos, racing beat exhaust, custom air intake, Power FC fuel computer and commander installed.  The Power FC was tuned by Steve Kan (www.kantuning.com).  My goal for the rebuild was to make it rock solid, reliable, and fast.  From 2001-2005 I put approximately 25k miles on the vehicle and the new engine taking it to few different tracks and on road trips.   There is also a bullet cam installed on the front lip and wired up through the glove box with RCA inputs.  Its been in storage since 2005 basically because I had kids and don’t really have time for it.  I start it 2x a year and drive it for couple hours, and it always cranks right up and does not smoke.  I have always changed the oil every 2000 miles and the engine and turbos are both very strong.  I am including a lot of extras which I collected over the years….extra set of stock turbos and other  miscellaneous parts and useful tools and other goodies. 

Exterior: 

The exterior is in good shape.  No dents, dings, etc.  Paint is chipped in a couple places and has been touched up with touch up paint.  I have a custom cut headlight cover intake to feed cold air into the engine intake, but I still have the original headlight cover in case you want to switch back.  The taillights have been modified for ’99 spec

(http://www.rotaryaddicts.com/?page_id=446). 

Interior:

The interior is in fair shape.  The seats are actually leather seats from a touring  series (not the original Cloth R1 seats).  The power window switch on the passenger side doesn’t work, but it can be rolled down from the driver side switch which has both. 

Under the Hood:

I’ve focused all my energy, time, and resources on the under-hood aspect of the car so it would be as fast and reliable as possible.  It is extremely reliable and engine is rebuilt very strong (when Steve Kan was tuning it he remarked at how well it pulled at high speeds).  I can’t possibly sell the car at a price to get back the investment I’ve put into these performance parts, so my loss is your gain.  The parts listed below are all installed on the car.  In total over $5000 worth of upgrades.  Please note, the air conditioning and power steering has been removed.  It can be reinstalled, but I preferred the steering feel (more responsive, and the car is already so light you don't even notice the missing p/s except for slightly heavier efforts at parking lot speeds) and the stock A/C system was terrible anyway.  Removing both of these lightened the car and gave the engine more power and made it more reliable.
