ForceFed 08-09-2005, 10:05 AM Unfortunately, it's time to sell the 7. I've had alot of fun with this car in the 5 or 6 years that i've owned it(approximately ~2kmi/year) but it is time to get something a little more sensible. Here is the rundown on the car:
45kmi original on both the body and the car. The engine runs 100% and then some. No hard starts when the engine is hot, no funny noises, great oil pressure, etc, etc.
Over the years I have been quite "fanatical" about the maintenance of the engine.
Oil changes have been done at every 500 mile interval, Marvel mystery oil has been used at nearly every single fuel fillup and the coolant gets flushed every single spring. Some call it fanatical, I call it not wanting to shell out for a new engine.
The body has no dings, no dents and the paint is in exceptional condition for the year of the car because it was polished and waxed often. The interior is also in excellent condition with slight peeling only next to where the odometer is on the car and a small spot on the arm rest for your right arm. The only way you can see them is if you are specifically looking for it.
The only mods on the car is a silicon vac hose job, Pettit Racing ground strap, Tokico 5 ways and Racing Beat springs. I did about 90% of the vac hose job and I simply ran out of time and patience and had Rotor Sports Racing in Kannapolis, NC finish up the last couple of hoses and button it back up. They checked the turbos shaft play and said the turbos were in excellent shape. Oh, and the car comes with a MOMO shift knob. Unfortunately I can't seem to find my original shift knob. I think I lost it in the move from Upstate NY to Charlotte, NC.
Anyways, the car has a slight oil leak coming from one of the oil cooler lines. I put the car up and took the front windage tray off and found that the oil was coming from one of the oil cooler lines, but couldn't locate the exact leak. I do however know it is not coming from the engine itself or the oil pan either. I estimate the oil leaks at about the rate of 1 quart every 800-1000 miles (if you were to drive the car daily, which I have never done) so it is obviously a pretty slow leak.
Also, the antenna mast will go up but will not go all the way down without some assistance. Aside from that, the car is 100%. My price is $17,800 OBO. I'm open to trade ideas but please be reasonable. Some pics below:

ForceFed 08-09-2005, 10:06 AM Here is a continuation of some more pics. Some are specifically requested shots from potential buyers or forum members.
Here is the car as it sits right now in the garage. The car has been garaged every single day for as long as I have owned it and to my knowledge, the previous owner did the same. Here the windage tray was removed so that I could locate and inspect the oil leak:

Underhood shot. Due to the direction of the lightsource, some of the pics came out slightly over-exposed. Being a camera noob, I don't know how to work around it:

This is a Pettit Racing Column mount with an Autometer gauge. This will not be sold with the car and the OEM column cover will go back in.

Awhile back I hit a pothole and the left side DIN hole cover came out and landed by my feet and subsequently worked its way under the seat. Weeks later I accidentally vacuumed it up :(

Pic to illustrate that the side compartment cover is in factory condition. I was told these frequently crack or break so I took this pic to show the side compartment is 100%

No missing or loose switches:

This is the scratch/peeling that I was referring to earlier:

I think that about covers it. Thank you for viewing :)
I had the car out at a local Supra meet here in Charlotte and a friend snapped a couple of pics. I got alot of compliments on the car :)

Well i'm trying to get into either a IS300 or GS300. Those are my top preference however I'm open to nearly all trade ideas. I'm trying to get into something luxurious.
BTW, someone asked for a pic of the odometer so here it is:

BATMAN 08-11-2005, 10:11 AM I'm tempted........ can someone photo shop CYM wheels on that car and lower it to the height that I have on my car?
I'm also looking for something on the luxury side for a second car.

LOL, Batman WTF are you doing on Illstreet? This was the last place I thought I'd see you :)
CYM wheels on a CYM? You mean as in someone powdercoating CYM onto a stock FD wheel? Whos on first base?
oodlezofnoodlez 08-11-2005, 05:23 PM i can go 6k considering it's the original motor.

U the last one to hear that I created a vacuum when I got banned and came over here.

Apparently so :D
You got banned again from the 7 club? Nice..... :D
Cosby 08-15-2005, 02:46 PM i can go 6k considering it's the original motor.
wow, way to low ball... I paid more than 6 without a motor in mine
ForceFed 08-15-2005, 07:30 PM Cody, seriously, what is your problem? I post my car for sale in good faith and in good intentions. If this were you, would you want someone posting a video like that in your for sale thread? Is it even relevant to the topic at hand? What did I ever do to you to warrant that type of response? As far as I know, I have NEVER done you wrong so what is prompting you to do this?
BTW, please remove my car for sale from your sig. You are falsely advertising my car for sale. If you don't, I'll be forced to ask the moderators to politely fix it for me. Thanks.
lmaoooooo is that the whiney rx7 owner video that every forum ever has posted and laughed at?
saw it on several mustang sites....
even on ls1tech...
Rx7 Punk 08-21-2005, 02:55 PM I wish I wasnt such an idiot and didnt buy every cheap car I saw so I would have the money to buy your 7 ;( on another note Ill trade you A 1971 383 Roadrunner with 26k and #'s matching, a 1988 680cfm 350 powered FC with a 6 point roll bar/headers/electric fans etc., 1985 Nissan 720 pickup that sits on the ground with hydros and fresh paint, 1987 Mitsu Starion, and a 93 Del sol which I just bought yesterday.
