Thinking of selling my FD

Hi guys,

I am not able to be around here very much just like I am not able to drive my 93 FD very much, so I am thinking of selling it. I hope to find it a respectable home with one of you guys rather than someone who will rag it out. Its is in great shape with minor blemeshes, a dented drivers side quarter panel, an odometer reading at around 75k, a new ported engine with about 7k, and a clean title.

If you want all of the stock parts and extra wheels with it (listed below) then I am thinking of asking around $16k. If you don't want everything then probly $15k. I just sold a bone stock 94 with comparable miles a few months ago for $15.5 so I don't think that this price range is outrageous considering everything your getting, including a brand new ported engine.

I dont have many photos of it yet (I will be taking a lot when I get my hands on a digital camera), but here are some:











I have not posted it on autotrader yet since I wanted to give you guys dibs if your interested. Its built up pretty good and I have records for everything. The car has about 7k miles on a ported engine from Atkins Rotary in WA, 3mm seals, 3" DP, no cat, PF 3" exhaust, short shift, centerforce sport clutch, koni adjustable shocks, willwood big brake kit, PF intercool/intake setup, piggy back ecu with handheld commander and datalogit software with manual, 10 wheels with tires (2x 10", 2x 9", 2x 8" - OZ's with tires and great tread left) (4x stock wheels with V.Racers, used for autox)

Also for sale is all the stock suspension parts, full stock exhaust system, stock intercooler, stock intake, most of the lines have been replaced with silicon hoses (but not all, I did what I could get to when I had to replace the coolent line to the turbo). All parts with only 10k miles on them, since they have just been sitting since the PF stuff was put on. If your interested in any of the parts, name a price and we can take it form there.

Unfortunately the last time the ball joint was disassembled (I have no idea when) the person who did the work (before I owned it, so I have no idea who) the cotter (sp?) pins were not used when assembling it. It was never caught by me or anyone else that looked at the car for me, so a few weeks back the ball joint snapped at VMP. The crown nut had ridden up so high on the bolt that the holes for the pin were below the nut and thus making it very weak. When it broke the wheel feel into the wheel well (drivers side) and that pushed the quarter panel out a bit. I am not a body tech so I don't know if it can be pushed back in or if it will require a new quarter panel, but most likely it will require a whole new panel. As for the ball joint, the entire assembly has been rebuilt with new parts and is back together and drives like a champ, with the cotter pins this time! Below is a shot of it when it happened on the track:

FYI, the part you're talking about as being damaged is NOT the 1/4 panel, it's the fender. I'm not trying to be ****, but there's a HUGE difference. I can always just swap fenders, or even take it off and work on it. But a 1/4 panel is part of the entire shell. It connects w/ the roof, and the 1/4 panel on the other side. 1/4 panel damage is the WORST to have, because if it's bad, it involves cutting the peice off and putting a new one on. Needless to say, a lot of people don't feel good about that, and it's very expensive.

So in short, I thought you'd def. want to modify your description and clarify it's the fender that's damaged (which is no big deal), compared to saying it's the 1/4 panel. Oh and good luck w/ the sale!

Ah, I see. I will make sure that the description on autotrader doesn't mention the quarter panel but the fender instead.

Thank you very much for the help on that.

Yes, the compression is fine. The engine is brand new almost. Of course what decent RX7 doesn't have a brand new engine. lol

What offsets are the OZ wheels? If the buyer only wants the stockers I might be interested, although my bank account is really hurting right now. ('99 spec and paint )
