oldrx7

Because 13b. Would have been 12a from Factory. Plus there is probably suspension and other stuff that i didn't read the auction to know about.

meh ... to be honest not many people would ping you on that for a WOF, sure it 'technically' needs a cert, but if those mods are done properly then I wouldnt bother.  Suspension seems normal, low springs, shortened shocks, nothing special there.   Just one of those things depending on who the WOF person was, and if they knew the 13B wasnt factory.  Then again, a simple die grind of the housing to remove the '13B' markings and you're away laughing.

common guys don't burst the kids bubble!

I had big dreams with my escort when I was 18 as well.  None of them eventuated, but I certainly dreamed about it.

Go and build what ever you wanna build man.  

Although web forums are full of people asking simple questions, with big dreams and projects that never really make it off the ground.  

But that's part of learning / growing up.  

Enjoy it!

Since it's a Friday I think all of the rx's on hotwires and/or eagers need to be posted

GO!!1!1!!!1!!eleven1!!!1!1

its saturday so i'm late, but that doesnt matter;

Ex [uZNGAS]?

Nope,  similar colour though.

That one above was a green bro's built motor i think?  Used to race a fair bit at meremere a few years ago.  Still has the black plates on it i think.

They do look like a commie that's gone through a very hot wash..

I think that's what i kinda like about the plastic bumper ones.

Like a shrunken VK commodore.

change the wheels to something less chromie and this would look pretty sweet for daily 

If it's tidy with no rust, then yep under $2000 is a good deal I'd say.

Not much left out there rwd, pre 1985 that you'll find for that sort of money.

^^^

How much $$$?

80's awesomeness.

gawd damn that's a sweet tracksuit!!!

Fuck big wheels on fbs suck! IMO 13/14" no bigger.

Sometimes yes ... That one above especially ^^^ mainly due to ride height i think though,

Bring them a little closer to the weeds and they can look pretty sweet i think,

Here's my old series 1; I used to like the way it looked 

This is probably the best buy value for money 1st gen rx7 on tardme right now.  Definitely needs ride height and wheels sorted, but other that, it's damn tidy

Man, those prices are getting 

Not waiting for parts, just addicted to collecting them.

 

So lucky I don't have an rx3, you could just about build one with the nos bits on trademe at the moment

 

 

 

and the big boy sale

Those prices!!! 

Sellers success fee's will be huge too !

meh, i've driven a few over in Canada and the states.   Definitely not great.  

I'd hate to have to think how much it'd cost to fill and how much you'd be using.  2 years driving and you'd have spent the cost of the stupid truck just on gas.

Mazda RX-3 wagon.

Fixed for you.

They're after a wagon after all 

Ticks all the boxes for a tuff rx3 coupe!!!

Awesome stuff.  

Is the exhaust a twin system the whole way down the car?  Or does it join then split again?

Don't strip them, ever time you do there is one less in the world and most of them got wrecked already in crashes & stuff.

Theoretically just toying with the idea that the idea of importing a left hook series 1-3 to NZ would / could be possible to break even or make some money if you were to find 1 nice one, get that road registered in NZ, then find another 1 or 2 rougher cars (depending on container size) to bring back then sell as parts.  Stripping down a rough car isnt a bad idea, especially if it's helping other people finishing off their projects.

Finding something nice like this;

Then packing something like these in the container to strip back in NZ;

I have thought about it but realistically no one wants/needs left-hook specific parts which would all go to waste. I even doubt anyone would want the rear storage bin setup.

True true, body panels / trim / driveline / suspension bits n pieces would all add up $$$ though.  I remember striping a series 1 years ago, and got way more money for all the little bits n pieces than i thought i would.

Surely things like door cards, gearbox surrounds , those sort of things would be the same also.

Just sounds like I'm talking myself into doing this 

What Jonny said.

 

I also need tidier interior bits for mine.

 

Also judging from this, they are worth moonbeams here.

That will never sell for that price, would be worth 7-8k max and it'd have to look better in person than it does in the pictures 

It'd be good to try and fit 2-3 1st gen rx7's in a container from the states and bring over to NZ. find a nice tidy one to keep, and part out the other two to break even / maybe profit?

Fuck I love that hoetown rx2.

Yep, love the fact its mint, all the badges / chrome (minus sill chrome i guess) but still matt black and slammed

^^^

LOL!!!

That is severe rust!!!

He lives in the caravan???

Some multi car photos!

Yep a capri or mk1 escort maybe?
