Hey guys, some of you may have seen my Civic EG Sedan build, and don't worry that wont be leaving anytime soon. I'd like to introduce you all to my new project, a 1986 RX-7 Base Model painted Dover White. I bought it on 01/22/17 for $800. I'll go ahead and let the pictures do the talking.

Now, a little info on the car:
The more observant of you will notice that it is a 4 Speed Automatic. It has a rusty broken sunroof but doesn't leak into the car. The exterior door handles don't work to open the door, so you have to crawl in from the hatch. The one black wheel was lent to me by the seller so I could drive it home. I will be returning it when I get a new tire for the 4th stock rim.
Here are some pictures the day that I got it. I followed the guy into the back yard and got my first look at my new RX-7. See anything wrong?
One rotor on the ground, not the way I'd like to see it, but whatever.
She lives!
It was officially mine. The previous owner also gave me a 5-speed trans and told me he had some other things for the swap laying around.
So this car has the infamous 13B engine, non-turbo. The exhaust is pretty shot, and it could use an oil change.
Here's a list of things I have to buy/fix on the car:
- Door handles
- Trunk lock
- Cluster bezel (found locally)
- Radio bezel (found locally)
- Driver's seat (found locally)
- Sunroof
- Coolant temp sensor
- Rear carpet
- Steering wheel
- Dash
That list may grow later on, so here are the plans for the car!
- OEM sport spoiler (found locally)
- Lowering Springs/Coilovers
- Wheels (found locally)
- HID kit
- S5 tails (maybe)
- 5-speed swap
And here are some inspiration pics
So I hope you guys stick around, cause' I'm super stoked on this build and already have some parts coming, so keep it locked here!
