1983 Mazda RX-7 Autocross / Street Car – $1750.00

For Sale:

1983 Mazda RX-7 GSL 12A Rotary, 5-Speed Manual trans, factory removable sunroof (metal AND glass included), power windows, cruise, manual steering, removed A/C completely.

Mods:

Engine: DEI-wrapped Racing Beat Streetport 12A Header, custom 2.5” collector, mandrel-bent 2.5” single exhaust, Dynomax Race Bullet resonator, Summit welded race muffler, dual stainless steel tip, fresh NGK plugs, Magnecor KV85 Competition Wires, Racing Beat double pulley drive w/ air pump delete, RB smog plate delete, disabled shutter valve, fresh rotor/cap/dual belts/oil, and filter.

Drivetrain: RP 75W90 in rear axle and transmission, SA driveshaft/yoke/flange with larger heavy duty rebuildable Spicer u-joints, new Exedy clutch kit (OEM), new rear axle bearings, races, and seals on both sides. New RB SS clutch line.

Brakes: Performance Friction front pads, DOT4 fluid flush.

Tires/Wheels: 195/60/14 Falken Azenis Rt-615’s mounted on hand polished/painted “LE” mesh wheels (14x6) with NOS Mazda polished metal "+" center caps (instead of the crappy black plastic ones).

Other: Ractive red suede racing buckets on FC rails, new battery, alternator, and starter (both have lifetime warranties and the starter has a new solenoid as well).

269 Autocross runs since 2/2008. The car itself is in great shape with NO rust. The driver's door was hit and I have a spare red door that may or may not be installed by the time it sells (I'm trying to get it on but it won't stop raining!). Interior is in the process of being properly converted to black (new OEM carpet front and back, all original black plastics going in, the only dyed parts are the door panels).

It drives nicely and the rotary runs excellent! Trans shifts nice except downshifting into 2nd grinds once in awhile. Rear diff has a bad bearing and acts like an open rear, I have a factory LSD diff from another RX-7 that also may or may not be installed (complete GSL-SE suspension and rear axle could be included). It kinda depends on what happens with the potential buyer (RE: you).

Throw a paint job and a set of shocks on it and it would be a very, very nice car (or a great Challenge competitor!!) It is a very, very good autocross car that is capable of beating much faster/more powerful cars due to it's nimbleness and eagerness (it has beaten Z06's, a Viper, and multiple 911's). Was STS class legal last season (old STS2) and won the Oregon Region Season Championship. The 12A is smooth up to 8,500 RPM and loves racing, it is honestly the best rotary I have ever owned or driven which has been quite a lot. We had 3 drivers sharing the car in Packwood (National Tour site) in August for a PROSOLO in 95 degree heat running back-to-back-to-back and it never even hiccupped. Something like 30 runs in a 45-minute period without even being shut off.

For $1750 firm you get the car and all the spares. At $2000 you also get your choice of a GSL-SE suspension and axle or a GSL/LSD rear diff (installed) along with the door replaced (it's even already sprayed red).

Will trade (plus cash) for a Porsche 944.

Located in Kelso, WA but can deliver to WA or OR along the I-5 corridor. Clean title, current tags/tabs, drives great!

GRMers, I updated the For Sale post (did some work to the car, listed the rear axle options) and prices. I'm *very* serious about selling this car!

What's this?

If you're reading this, you've probably seen these odd links with funny names somewhere on the site and want to know what they're all about. Well, prepare to feel a bit more Net savvy. Those links are what the geeks call "social networks."

Social networking sites allow you to store and share links and pages across the Internet. It's like taking your bookmarks list and being able to see it from any computer.

Even better, social networks allow you to steer friends, relatives, colleagues and pretty much anyone else to the cool stuff you've found, so they have something better to do online than watching the skateboarding squirrel video on YouTube for the thirtieth time. You're making the world a better place.

The only catch is that while all the social networks are free, you do have to register. Each site has a slightly different focus, so take a look through the links and see which service suits you best.
