For Sale: 1993 Mazda RX-7 LS SWAP in Concord, North Carolina
Any time you see a final generation Mazda RX-7 it's a special
sight. But from the moment you lay eyes on this jet black machine,
you know it's extraordinary. Beyond all of the ultra cool body
additions, the Corvette emblem on the front is a nice hint at the
450 horsepower beast within.
If you know RX-7s, then you can instantly pick up on how unique
this one is. For starters, you'll recognize many of the later home
market (Japan) body panels. This includes upgrades to the front
bumper, turn signals, fog lights, and taillights. But the
customization goes much further than the Japanese components. The
carbon fiber elements like the front spoiler, rear diffuser, side
skirts, and ARP racing side mirrors are great additions. They look
particularly nice as they coordinate with the glossy black paint
that makes this Mazda look like it could slip through the midnight
air. This same hue makes the 18-inch Volk Racing gunmetal wheels
great standouts while still fitting in with the overall tone of
this sinister machine. Even the headlights are both custom and
aggressive with the HID setup just peeking over the hoodline like a
crocodile quietly hunting.
Open the door, and this is an instant reminder that Mazda was
gunning for the top premium sportscars with the RX-7. You and your
passenger are enveloped by black leather buckets that can hug you
in the turns while remaining quite comfortable on the long haul. It
comes loaded with power windows, power locks, alarm system, and an
Alpine AM/FM/CD/XM stereo with Infinity speakers. You slip behind
the Japanese market steering wheel, and gaze at a very impressive
gauge package. You can tell the full set of Speedhut readouts are a
custom setup just by how it says LSX RX7 in the middle. But beyond
looking cool, you're looking at a Revolution GPS speedo that
includes features for 0-60 times, top speed, �-mile times,
elevation, and clock.
Under the hood is a serious upgrade. The Corvette's victory flags
on the slam panel are earned with a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 transplanted
into the engine bay. This fuel-injected American hero has been
rebuilt and fortified with Patriot Performance GM LS6-style stage
II heads, Patriot GM LS series cam, hardened pushrods, ported OEM
throttle body, 3.5-inch cold air intake, and custom headers that
feed a unique and powerful Mandrel exhaust. There are so many more
features to list, so call for all the details. But just know there
is an estimated 450 horsepower at the rear wheels, which is a major
upgrade over the '93 RX-7's 225 hp (and a stock LS1's 350 HP). That
makes this lightweight coupe a true rocket ship, and that's why the
rest of the components were upgraded to optimize all the added
power. It starts with the 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission
that features a BDR torque converter w/2500-2800 RPM stall, shift
kit, and HD cooler. This sends power to a 3.73 limited slip
four-link rear end with custom subframe connectors to reliably keep
the rubber hooking up with the pavement. But power is nothing
without control, so the front suspension has been upgraded with a
Stance XR setup that includes Swift springs coilovers, and a
Stoptech four-pot brake kit featured behind every wheel.
You're looking at a big power custom setup that took a lot of time
and funds to get it this professionally finished. We would use
words like unique, intimidating, rapid, and ready to describe this
deal. So the way to express your opportunity at this is "fleeting."
