Dai Chan's old RX7 FC3S - price drop £5000

Asking price: £5000
MOT: May 2012
Tax: Feb 2013

P/X: prefer cash, but try me.

Contact: PM here, or 07943 809598

History:
--------------------
1989 s5 13BT previously owned by Daijiro Inada formerly of D1GP! The paintwork was originally by Top Secret, and the bodykit is the original prototype made for the FC3S by Bomex.

Comes with lots of documentation including all import documents.

Imported 2008 on 108427km (67373 miles). Clocks were converted to read miles since import. Current reading is 123342, so therefore mileage is 82288 miles.

Engine rebuild with a major street port March 2011 at 78776 miles by Hayward Rotary using uprated apex seals (stronger than Mazda OEM). Under 4000 miles done since rebuild, the new engine came with a 2 year / 24,000 mile warranty for det including track and DWYB days, so still over 12 months left on the warranty! Some significant bits of the engine were converted over to FD parts, like TB, coils, loom etc

Never been dyno'd, but I guess running somewhere around 340 hp. LOTS of headroom potential for further tuning... very fast and very loud with the external wastegate & the screamer pipe. Big smiles, fun and flames are guaranteed, you'll have a hard time finding a better example in the country.


The good bits:
--------------------

No rust! Very rare for these cars now considering it is 23 years old.
Cheap classic car insurance
Original spare wheel and tool kit ;)

=======
Large street port 13BT

Body
=====
Bomex aero kit (excellent fitment)
R.E Amemiya type-II Spoiler
R.E Amemiya mirrors
Top Secret yellow


Handling
========
18" Gold Advan RG wearing Michelin PS2 tyres (low miles, loads of tread left)
Driftworks high strength inline drive wheel nuts

Interior
========
Bride Brix 1.5 Driver recliner (VGC no signs of wear)
Bronze weighted stick-type gear knob
Sparco Monza suede steering wheel
Driftworks snap-off wheel spacer

The bad bits:
------------------
Paint could do with a touch up
Rev counter does not work so either use the hand commander or buy an aftermarket one.
No cold start assist, which makes it a pig to drive for a few minutes until is is warm. Not a big deal, just one of those things you have to live with.. but may get on your nerves if you're after a daily!


Spare parts (may consider including for the right price)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Apexi Mechanical 60mm boost gauge
Greddy Profec b EBC
Red Bride Gias recliner in EXCELLENT condition, no wear at all.
HKS Type 0 turbo timer
Spare set Kei Office coilovers (rears needs refurb)
Cusco front strut brace (won't fit)
