Cars for sale / 1989 Mazda RX-7 W/ LS1 Swap
« on: June 13, 2011, 06:18:53 PM »
Just cross-posting from my Craigslist ad:   http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/cto/2438594782.html

Selling my 1989 Mazda RX-7 GXL with LS1/T56 swap.
I've had this car for about a year now as a project but have lost interest/time so I'm looking to sell and move on.

Since the car is a 1989, it is considered a S5 (Series 5) RX-7. The GXL package was the top of the line package for the naturally aspirated RX-7 and shared the same 4 piston brake calipers of the Turbo II. The car has a sunroof, power locks, windows, and side mirrors. The S5 RX-7 can also be identified by the more attractive rear tail lights, front bumper, and body molding, along with some interior differences.

The car has an LS1/T56 6 speed from a 2002 Pontiac Trans AM WS6. It was installed using a Granny's Speed Shop swap kit.

More engine info:
- Dyno'd at 370RWHP (Have dyno sheet)
- Rebuilt approximately 5k miles ago
- Meziere electric water pump (Worth over $500 by itself)
- LS6 intake manifold
- Aggressive cam (don't know details on the specs, but gives the car a nice lope at idle)
- BBK Long tube headers with O2 extensions
- Full 2 1/2" exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers
- New spark plug wires with thermal covers
-Corvette Fuel Filter/Regulator
- Hurst shift knob
- Recently replaced Mass Air Flow sensor
- Custom tuned ECU

The car itself retains WORKING power steering, something many of these swaps go without. All of the factory instrument cluster gauges work as well (Oil pressure, coolant temp, fuel gauge, battery volts) including the speedometer. Originally these cars had cable driven speedo's but I have converted it to an electric speedo using the factory gauge face. It does need calibration on the GM computer for it to read accurately though.

- Jags That Run radiator kit with Volvo electric fan and shroud
- Grannys Speed Shop sway bar mount spacers
- Wilwood 7/8" clutch master cylinder
- Stainless steel clutch line
- Working speedometer
- Power steering
- Aluminum driveshaft
- Heater and fan blower both work
- Clutch type LSD (Limited Slip Differential)
- Stainless steel brake lines all around
- Tokico Blue shocks/struts all around
- New wiper blades
- Newly Rebuilt Alternator
- Relocated new Optima red top battery to passenger storage bin using 1/0 wire
- New Denso 1020 fuel pump (Same as Toyota Supra fuel pump)
- Check engine light has been wired to GM computer
- Resealed both taillights and replaced weather stripping
- Sitting on Mustang Bullitt 17" rims with 275's in back with 245's in front

It does not currently have A/C, but I have the parts needed to add it and can get you in contact with someone who will provide custom bent lines to look factory. It also does not currently have a radio installed more than happy to negotiate putting one in.

I have a blue title on the car but it is not currently registered or inspected. The best I can tell, it has never been wrecked, has been repainted at some point in time (still with factory color), and exterior has minor scratches/dings. The interior is in very good condition for its age and the seats are excellent. Dash has no cracks but needs new demister vents.

I have numerous spare parts that will go along with the car as well.

This car is not too far off from being a good daily driver and would take even less effort to make into a track car (either drag racing or road racing). It is definitely a head turner when people hear the noise this RX-7 makes.

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions. You can reply to this ad in an e-mail or call me at 9O3-2 one 5 - OOO6

Asking $6500 OBO

I'm sure if you price it right, it would sell quickly.  I know you probably feel well justified in your price considering the money you have into it, but its a buyers market.  I'd probably just keep it unless your willing to take less.

Where are you located?

I smell a troll.  Seriously, who fills their oil based on some parts counter guys recommendation and thinks its unnecessary to actually check the dipstick.  It's pretty obvious this guy didn't swap the engine himself when changing/checking the oil already seems like an ordeal, so swapping to an LS6 valley pan is probably an impossibility.

If indeed this is real, sounds like you should have just bought a stock vette and taken the car to jiffy lube if you want a fast car with an LSx.

Quick question, were those headers the BBK 1594 ones that everyone is using?  They look a little different....

Not to be a dick or anything, but aren't these the same headers they sell for $885 sans header wrap?

Certain models of N/A have an LSD, it's just the weaker 7" instead of the stronger TII 8" unit.

And there is no torsen type diff in an FC, it's clutch type from 86-88 and viscous from 89-92.

Actually, there is a Torsen type for the FC, but only for the 7".  The 94+ Miata's share the same diff (not the entire 3rd member, just the diff itself) as I use an FC diff in my Miata!

This is a great deal for anyone that needs them. GLWS!

But I am curious, where did you get them from?  I did a quick search on the Mazda Motorsports website and found that part number FB01-28-890C was the correct part number from the bushings that go in the "wings" of the diff?
