FS: LS1/FD Perfection - 1993 RX-7


Kevin Doe

Recommended Posts

The time has come to think about another project car, so I'm listing up my immaculate RX-7. I really love the car, but I enjoy building cars so I'm already thinking about what my next project will be. The car is extremely well done, no shortcuts whatsoever. I take pride in doing good work and making things right the first time, even if its a part nobody will ever see. Its a visceral experience driving the car, and probably best explained as violent when driven hard. I'm not pressed to sell all, so low offers will not be considered whatsoever. If it sells great, if not, then I'll continue to enjoy it.

What year is your mustang? I have no clue about it. I'm likely not interested, I'm looking for something like either a cheap C5Z that I can mod to be a monster, or a C6Z and keep it retalively stock and tear people up at autox and track days.

Oh, I forgot to add.

 

The car weighs 2950 w/ 3/4 tank of gas, and w/o me.

 

The car was 49.5 % front, and 50.5% rear, with perfect 50/50 crosses.

 

For the drag guys, I ran on my Hoosier road race tires (not optimum) and ran an 11.333 my second time to the strip in this car.
