"W '04" lol. I guess no one ever told the old owner its a crime to put bumper stickers on a sports car.

Nice find though!

The car is back on the road with the oil leak fixed and gas tank dipped.

I got my gas tank worked out, fixed the oil leak, tightened the front barrings and replaced the o2 sensor.

Repairs I still need to do:
-unstick 6 port actuators
-have injectors cleaned and pressure tested
-replace intake gaskets because I have to pull the intake
-replace thermostat
-replace coolant line that goes under oil filter and coolant lines to intake
-finish replacing vacuum lines
-replace front struts (taking them off my 83)
-replace air filter

nice find! just wait till you fix your actuators, she'll really scream!

RX-7 Chris · 12-07-2010, 05:49 PM

I hope so, the car is very slow right now. It pulls good till it gets over 4 grand. But I guess I'm going from a large streetport 12A to this car. It's been 8+ years since my other car was bone stock.

Spooln2 · 12-20-2010, 10:44 PM

This is bullshit. I paid 6 grand for mine which looks just like yours. Bullshit

Nice car though and you are lucky.

RX-7 Chris · 12-20-2010, 11:02 PM

I know where you're coming from because I had about 10k into my other car and it was spray painted flat black.

Doesn't it make you sick sometimes? LOL I wish I could fall into deals like Chris did with this.

What I find really funny is that you were originally going to part out this car, assuming it was in really bad shape since it was basically free lol.

RX-7 Chris · 12-21-2010, 10:11 AM

I know right. Now I'm parting the car I've had for 10 years and never planned to sell. That car is full of memories too. It was the car I took my first date with my wife in, and she still married me even seeing how bad the car looked at the time.

speedjunkie · 12-21-2010, 05:15 PM

Now THAT is love. LOL

Nice to get a fixable car to save .I have a 84 silver SE and I am putting a third gen TT motor in it .I have collected most everything to finish it .I will sell it at any stage because my gf has bought a sports car and does not need two .

RX-7 Chris · 12-22-2010, 10:02 AM

Come on, who doesn't need TWO sports cars?! LOL Especially when one is an FB with a TT REW. That sounds like fun.

orion84gsl · 12-22-2010, 11:47 AM

Just an FYI, the 83 and earlier struts have different spindles. I believe they aren't as long. You'll be swapping to 12A car brakes and bolt pattern.

Garfinkles Motor Works · 12-23-2010, 12:04 AM

Well you are correct on having two sports cars .The thing is I have 94 fd that is modified and a SC 430 and the 84 first gen TT and she has a SLK 280 . Plus I still have the turbo 1400cc Kaw I built back when and a BMW K1 motorcycle . Plus a ton of Kaw parts including an LTD with turbo to sell .I am selling off what I can because I do not have time to do all I need to do and keep up with my customers .The first gen in this thread should be a great project because you can afford to put some money and time into it .I had my first ,first gen a 1980GSL for 12 years.
