1988 Mazda RX7 21k miles on the current motor build. Probably over
150k on the chassis. Odometer represents mileage since the first
motor was ported and built with these main components. S4 endplates
and rotor housings and S5 center plate and rotating assembly.
Progressive street port with most of the work done on the aux
ports. Lost the rear rotor after 67k miles and replaced the rotor
with a matching weight rotor. All new Atkins engine seals.
CorkSport Power Series headers. Racing Beat Power Pulse mufflers.
Bonez high-flow cat(likely fouled). Ron Davis Racing aluminum
radiator. Tokiko Blue shocks. Stiffer springs. Motegi 17' aluminum
wheels with Goodyear summer tires. (Winter wheels available)
Kenwood KDC-X791 head unit with 2 amps behind the passenger seat
running 6 speakers. SakeBomb HID projector headlights light
cannons. Custom LED running lights. S5 taillights. Wideband O2
sensor with readout in the warning light panel. Lots of other
things I can't think of. Less than ideal: No A/C, sorry never got
quite that hot. Sunroof and power windows are fully functional.
Subwoofer is removed, but all the hookups are still in place. The
OMP system has been removed. Some would consider this an upgrade,
others will be annoyed that you have to premix with 2-stroke oil.
Yeah, people will look at you weird at the gas station, you'll get
used to it. And it sometimes provides a nice opportunity to teach
someone new about the crazy rotary engine. The hood lift struts are
shot, but those are cheap to replace. Bonus items up for grabs: a
set of S4 15' aluminum wheels with studded snows for the winter, a
necessity if you plan to make it a DD anywhere in northern
latitudes. A set of bare S5 15' aluminum wheels. Lots of other
random parts in my shed if you want to poke through them, all free
if you take them with you. Labor of love for the better part of 20
years, and always with the mindset of it being a daily driver.
