i Got one now!!!
hey what's up everyone? i am proud to say that i am a new owner of an 88 rx7. i would put some pics up, but i think you know what one looks like. i picked it up for 3500 with only 100,000 miles on it and i was wondering if that was a good deal.
oh, and if you guys want to sell me some parts that would be cool too. oh and it's the cabriolet, forgot to mention that.

I got my previous RX-7, an '88 GXL with leather and all for $2k with 106k miles. I sold it over a year later with 146k, torn up seats, and a replacement fender for... $1900.
I'd say it was a fair deal if it is in great shape, glossy paint, good interior, no electrical issues or anything.
What color and interior is it? Pictures?

the color is black and there is bairly anything wrong with the paint or the bodywork. the interior is super clean and nothing is wrong with the electrical and engine. oh, and it is the n/a
and that leads me to the next question: do any of you know where i could pick up a turbo kit for it? is there even one? i found some guy who will build a custom one for me, but it's gonna cost me an arm and a left nut. plus he lives 3 hours away from me.
actually, any kind of performance advise would help out a lot. thanx.

They're just messing with you man. First, you payed too much. Second, you aren't going to be able to turbo it for a decent price. If you wanted turbo you should get a TII, not an N/A...its cheaper that way. Third, RX's often require alot of work...thats what the "endless repairs" comment was about. Enjoy the car, but IMHO don't even try to turbo it.

i was reading in the archives and realized i couldn't ask any questions in there and was wondering if any of you could tell me how much more the convertable weighs than the coupe. i'm too lazy to go look.

1.3L is not that small
i bought my convertible for 4k and thats a tad on the high side plus mine is MINT condition, hardly any flaws in the paint job and interior is WOW plus every little thing works on it including the A/C, P/S and lots of other goodies... pic is in my sig

yeah, that's the same way mine is. everything works and, after reading that "beefing up your n/a" thread, is about to be taken out. the guy tring to sell the car was asking for $7000 and i worked him down to $3500, so i think that's pretty good for not knowing what i should have bought it for.
so does anybody want to hook me up with some parts?

and a thank you. i'm thinking about selling it now to some poor soul for $5000. he he. unless someone can give me some reasons to keep it. oh, i found a turbo II for 5k, but i think i can work him down. ya think that's a good buy.
