    Hey guys,

    First of all, if I'm breaking any rules or anything please feel free to remove this post. It's now coming up on 1 year since I bought my RX7 and I'm seriously considering something new. I absolutely love this car to bits and have spent many hours getting it looking how it looks now.

    This is purely an interest thread more than anything, It's not a guarantee that I am willing to swap, I just want to see what kind of offers I receive. I'd quite fancy an SM-X but I am open to anything you have to offer as long as It's Jap.

    The car is a Mazda RX7 1987 EGi (non turbo) Model. It has about 82k genuine miles on the clock and has also had a rebuild (even although EGi's don't really need them). It just went through it's MOT about 5 days ago so has a full years left. I also put 6 Months tax on it (exp 31/12/09).

    It's had more cosmetic changes than anything else, the engine is pretty much standard except for a K&N panel filter and twin pulley for the alternator. It also has a full Rotecknics exhaust system. It does sound good but it's quite an aquired taste of sound (quite tinny on the higer revs).

    It has a Turbo II full body kit on it (including hard to find front splitter). It's lowered on a set of Tein coilovers and is running on a set of Rays MS01's with new Avon 205/40/17Z tyres. I have only done between 500-1000 miles since i got the car last year.

    The back interior has been completely ripped out and a set of Turbo II seats are now in the front. It also has the more desired back lights from the Turbo II.

    If anyone is interested in P/X then i can supply you with all the info you need. I have years worth of documents for this car from when it was purchased new in 1987.

    As this is only really to see what interest i get i wont go into all details of the car unless something catches my eye.

    This car is a head turner there is no denying that.. I'm pretty sure its the only one in my whole area and it gets incredible attention. It's a beautiful car and it kills me inside to even suggest trading it but i just feel like a change.. It is going to have to be something equally as awesome though for me to want to P/X. I've noticed a lot of FC3s for sale recently with not much interest.. this is another reason that this is a bit of a half arsed thread.

    I can take more pics on request, here are some from a recent even the car was at.

    Thank you for reading. :)
    Kind Regards
    Gianni

    Cheers guys. :) I would love a bigger engine in it but it's just not something i want to get into at the moment to be honest. I'm trying to save up to move out from my parents..

    I also forgot to mention I had the car fully resprayed. The bonnet could do with a machine polish though as it's from my mates old black TII.

    I would prefer a straight swap buddy but I am willing to add a little and accept a little cash depending on the car. Probably can't afford any more than £500 though.

    Hey buddy,

    I personally believe this car is worth about 2000 P/X. I know you can get a turbo for about that price, but a Turbo in the same condition would be around 2500-3000 i would imagine.

    I will only accept something Jap sorry dude.

    No aircon or power steering dude. Good weight savers.. :thumbs:

    It has a suede steering wheel though which makes it pretty easy to steer anyway. I'm pretty sure aircon is something you could easily install though as loads of people are breaking turbo II's.

    You don't happen to have any pics of your SMX do you?

    Sorry dude, Jap only.

    I've added some new pics of the car. The flash seems to pick up on stuff that you can't even see when looking at it haha.. The engine bay looks a lot cleaner than it does in the pics sorry.

    Cheers Harvey :)

    P.S. Back tyres are 9J and front are 8. Looks seriously bad ass from the back. You can't really see the tyres in those pics.
