1995 Chaste White RX7 w/ 32k orig miles.. LS1-T56 swap + California BAR'd (SOLD)

[perf0rmance]

Hi All,

With everything that’s been going on within my life, I believe that selling my car would be a wise decision.
Please understand, however, I do not need to sell my car so lowball offers will be ignored.
Please respect my thread and my asking price (listed at the end).



First thing’s first... let’s start with the KBB.com used car value. (as of February 3, 2014)

Year: 1995
Make: Mazda
Model: RX-7
Mileage: 32,500
Zip Code: 94555

Private Party
Excellent $20,952
Very Good $20,577
Good $20,277


Now, let’s get into a few specifics regarding the vehicle (Information taken from window sticker)

Options
*Compact Disc Player

My FD has a manufactured date of 12/95, which makes it one of the last FD’s ever sold in the US. I believe there were approximately 500 RX7’s built for the 1995 production year.
Mine is Chaste White with a Tan interior, which (based on research) is 1 of 33 in the same configuration of color and package [i.e. PEP]. Still has original paint, all VIN stickers in place.

Closing remarks
Thanks for taking the time to look through all of this information as I’m sure there is quite a bit to absorb. The main goal of this car was to have a street-driven daily driver with some serious punch.
Being in California, it’s very difficult to modify a car and still stay smog-compliant. So, since I wanted a street legal daily driver, I went to get my car BAR’d and it passed.
This should be indicative of the type of swap my FD underwent: very meticulous and detail-oriented as it took only one visit to the referee.
Even the OD-I diagnostic port works and can still activate the fuel pump, cooling fans and such.  The wiring was done in such a way to retain much of the OEM functions as possible.
Please take all of this into consideration when looking at my car in terms of the level of detail and cleanliness it takes to do a swap properly.

If it's not obvious, I passed with cats.
Same concept with any stock car; install aftermarket goodies after you pass smog.
Swap back to smog-form when needed.

Does it come with the stock components that you used to pass smog with?

I must have left one out last night.
After work, I'll post one and a few of the build process.
There's quite a bit of pictures that I can post but I don't want to convolute the thread.

Wonderful example of a BAR'd, super clean CA car, that's worth the price.  There will be an RX7 fanatic out there that will be very excited to find this, GLWS!

Thank you for the kind words.

Here's a few more pictures. The last picture does not have the condenser or final AC lines hooked up.

I've received a quite a few PM's already so I think I should post up a bit more info.

I've never taken the car to a track so no abuse there (course nor strip).
The car will not pass smog with the current exhaust system. However, it is a mere bolt-on affair to get it back to a compliant state.
Smog will be discussed between myself and the new owner.
I have no problems having the smog done, however, I will switch back to stock manifolds and cats. It will then be up to the new owner to re-install the headers and such. Again, something that is better discussed between myself and the new owner.

Cruise control is not setup, but the unit will be included.
Fog lights are not installed, but they will be included.
Other pertinent swap items will be included (i.e. Monster Clutch alignment tool)

wow, thats a nice set up.
