The extras alone are probably worth in the area $8k if you part them out!

The engine and turbo have about 40-45k on them. The engine itself was a rebuild from rx7world. The engine cranks a little slow and vacuum is a bit low, but she still has plenty of pep.

The hood has a few dings but the car is pretty much ding free.. just typical stuff for a 10 year old car. The body itself was repainted about 2 years ago. There are a couple minor rust spots -- one on each door sill and one in the rear passenger side wheel well. All have been treated but could use some touch up.

Last, there is no heat and no windshield wiper reservoir. The heater core needs to be replaced. A/C doesnt work either. Compressor turns, so it may just need a recharge. I haven't bothered to have it checked yet.

Overall, that's the good and the bad. The car handles amazing, has a boatload of rare aftermarket parts, but will need some long term TLC. Might be great if you want to part it out, fix her up, or turn her into a full fledged track car. Don't let the 150k on the ODO scare you... the car has been very well maintained. All the aftermarket parts make this a very fair price, though it's negotiable.

And don't ask... I am *NOT* parting this out.

 

parting yet?

 

I am not parting this out. It's all or nothing.

 

Car still for sale?

 

Yep. Just got done taking her for a spin, as a matter of fact.

 

How is she running?

 

bump... slightly lower price

 

going to the Paul Walker meet sunday?

 

Ha! I'll be there in spirit.

 

Bump

 

Is that all that's wrong with the car?

 

Bump for a clean car that comes with a ton of great parts I'd love to get my hands on;-)

 

I was there when Steve Kann tried to tune it at the MazCare event. Your leaving some info out.

 

Two things:
1) You don't know anything about the car or what I have done to it since.
2) If you don't have any value to add to the conversation, take a hike.

 

you had a vacuum leak at the event and Steve was having a problem with your car connecting to the Cobb, and when they did he could not tune it because of mechanical problems. What's your compression, its a simple test. I'm just saying don't sell something you yourself consider a headache like its all good. A compression test is $80, if you care about the car why have you not ascertained the health of the engine?

What you missed was that Charlie found and fixed the vacuum leak while it was on the dyno.

There's no need to do a compression test. Low vacuum and slow cranking (which are stated in the ad) mean compression is lower than normal. As you should be aware, engines can and do work fine with less than ideal compression. If someone wants compression numbers, they can pay for it -- I don't see any value in doing so.

The map Steve put on the car works great I've been driving the car every weekend without issue, so I take umbrance with the fact that you chose to inject yourself in this discussion when you have no intention of buying the car, don't have all the facts, and are accusing me of being less than honest.

 

Mod Edit:
Quit thread crapping. He answered your question, so if you aren't buying the car, leave the thread. A potential buyer will be able to determine if the answers and price are satisfactory or not on their own.

I apologize for my rudeness. glws.

Playing call of duty with Chewbacca and Alf

 

Surprised this hasn't sold yet.

 

Yeah. I'm not trying hard to sell it. I'm still enjoying it. The right buyer will come along eventually.

 

BUMP for lower price. It's a steal!

 

would you ever consider parting ways with the Cobb AP for the right price? I have been looking to buy one for a while now!!!!

 

Pm'd I'm very interested!

 

Not right now.

 

The car still for sale and what is the lowest you go cash
