Here's my rx7 I shipped here early last year.
I owned it in Canada for a few years whilst living there for work.
Previous owner had it from new, he bought it to build into a competitive Autocrosser.
Very solid, no sign of any accidents, the only rust to be found is in the bottom of the doors. All other areas are tip-top (hatch drain included).
The original paint's clear coat is flaking.
The Interior is nice and original but does have some cracks and worn drivers seat.

It's had a Respeed front end conversion. This includes cnc sub-frame, close ratio rack + pinion conversion (mustang rack). Crossmember uses original mounting points so I believe it complies with most class regulations.
Completely adjustable angle, all heim joints.
Adjustable a-arms
Sway bars front and back to match.
Poly engine mounts.
Adjustable coil overs front and rear.
Recent custom exhaust running 2" primaries, each through its own resonator, collecting at the diff into 2.5" pipe through AES racing muffler.
All made from 2mm mild steel, mandrel bends, equal length primaries etc. Built after the attached photos were taken.
I've also just installed a 3 piece Respeed strut bar and had a full motorsport alignment done.

Low mileage series 3 12a crate motor built by Mazda Japan, stock ports. Came in the car so no receipts.
Car starts easily hot or cold and idles around 700rpm.
Freshly rebuilt Nikki carb has had the usual mods, all vac deleted except necessary. Mechanical secondaries.
Clutch fan replaced with E-fans
Factory GSL LSD
5-Speed
New optima red top
New hawk racing pads all round
Comes with 2 sets of rims as pictured, both have near new tyres, the rotary rims wrapped in nankang ar-1.

I haven't opened the 12A up or had compression tested but it runs well, doesn't blow smoke, starts well hot and cold.

Anyone that knows first gens will understand the original reciprocating ball steering rack is a bit of an Achilles heel. You can read about the conversion below.

It also has the perks of being LHD.
Better suited for big power builds with the immense space on the hot side of the motor for turbo and packaging where you would usually have steering column and master cylinders competing with headers.
Factory 2 seater.
Better weight distribution.
Perfect base for Allan Moffat tribute build.
Not in a rush to sell. I just placed the car on Club Rego and am enjoying the good weather.

Price is negotiable. Open to swaps for registered track worthy cars mainly 90s 00s JDM and EDM.
