Turbo RX7

Has all the ingredients for a Challenge car. Negotiate a bit or horse trade....

That seems like a REALLY good deal for what all is included. Though "not idling" tells me "needs apex seals". Given that it's a drift car- this would not surprise me at all.

"Not idling" could also mean "ripped out teh rats nest because I'm afraid of vacuum hoses and now it runs like poo."

I'm gonna go with this.

Drifter priorities when they purchase a car:

1. Throw eBay steering wheels on
2. Rip front bumper off
3. Do "sleepy eye mod" to headlights
4. Proceed to start ripping parts off engine, then can't figure out why it doesn't run...

Tandem drift car? What a joke. Competition series without a cage requirement is asking for trouble.

That or any of a whole host of things that could be wrong with it, ranging from needing a teardown and rebuild to a few feet of vacuum hose...

One of these days when I've got a lot more space and time, I'll pick up another 2nd-gen convertible and do a turbo swap on it...

I would say it is priced about right....If the engine is good.

Too bad you can't do a compression check without a starter.

I would take a starter and do a compression check before even thinking of buying that car.

everyone always says apex seals. rarely they are right.

That is a decent price for what you are getting.
