bought a 2nd rx7!

the wife actually found this one for me!

120k miles, needs a rebuild and is 4 lug... but other than that..... its perfect...









bought her for cheaper than i bought my other one for... what a great deal!

my other 7 has only 74k miles, runs (as far as i know) has 5 lug wheels...

time to start swapping parts!

Cool find man.
Are you planning on swapping parts from this new one into your other one?
Just because 4 lug means it's a GX which doesn't have an LSD. :p

No GX models in the states.

Looks like a base model to me, not a Luxury/SE which was the US version of the GX

That's clean...

Given the din area, I would guess it's an '86-87 Base...

is there any things i can look up physically on the car that would give it away? (i.e. vin number?)

The S4 armrests are all the same... lol

The vin won't tell you what package it has, but just whether it's N/A or turbo... The build date in the door jamb should be somewhere between 6/85 to 6/86 I believe...

Ahh... LMAO ok I see what you're saying... I still think maybe you had a S5 center console instead of S4? Did it open from the side or the front?
