I am posting this here, becuase i know it will get read, and i need some info before tomarow evening. Feel free to move it tom.

I am going to look at an RX - 7 tomarow night. it is an 89 with a rebuilt 13b. I am just wondering if there is anything i should look for besides the normal bondo, gear grinding, smoke and so on.

the car has the following:

•Mazda 13b fuel injected rebuilt motor w/ a minor bridgeport and polish @ 24,500 mi - (208,000 miles on chassis)
•Rebuilt (high output) alternator
•rebuilt transmission w/ 37,000 mi on it
•new 02 sensor
•new thermo temp sensor
•Custom Dodge Viper electric fan
•Howard-train performance driveshaft
•Racing Beat - Road Race (true) dual exhaust system
•Racing Beat 13b 6-port race version headers
•Apexi intake system conversion cold air w/ border racing head light vent
•Tanabe suspension springs 1.5'' drop f/r
•Kyb front struts
•new oil jet tubing, new water pump, new spark plugs, new battery
•rebuilt fuel injectors by five-o motor sports
•Charge speed front lip (painted) installed just after pictures were taken- a few pics show this item now

he wants 6300. Any help is apreciated.

shawn.

thats a pretty high price tag. and I am assuming this a non turbo?
motor is a "mild bridge port" with 24K on it? First I would like to know what exactly the definition of a mild bridge would be, and secondly ask who did the bridgport work. Do you know what that is? It is not a port for longevity, it is for power. Does mild mean a half bridge? I would get this specified. I would also look at getting the car to pass inspection if it actualy is a BP motor.
What engine managment is the car running for the bridge port, what size injectors, and who tuned it? I didnt see anything mentioned about this.

The prices seems kinda high for an N/A if it is one. You can get a good running T2 for that price or less. I paid 2,500 for my T2.

Is the alternator a stocker or is it a rebuilt 3gen alternator?

http://rx7.voodoobox.net/ <--- go to FAQ then click on buyers guide.

As for the modifications take KGparts advice, keith knows his ****. And def find out about the fuel setup, pump, injectors, fpr, ect.

Price is alittle high esp if its an NA. But I've seen many good condition turbos going for that price (not saying you can't find it cheaper). Goodluck! I hope to welcome you to the rotary community soon
