1987 ST1 Mazda RX7

[hakeem]

I'm somewhat pained to have to do this, but the time has come. I simply don't have the time for this car anymore. Anyone who has followed this build knows that this car has been a few years in the making with not much expense spared. It's pretty much a fresh coat of paint away from being a stunning car. As the car sits now it is ready to go, I ran a 1:54.xxx at Buttonwillow on basically my first time out with the car and shocks all full-soft. Total weight is 2325lbs wet minus driver. Last dyno was 410rwhp @ 10psi, will easily crack 500rwhp if needed (it's not).

 

If someone wants to give me $20k for the whole thing they can have it, otherwise I am parting it out as follows. I will break up the roller if enough of the big parts get good offers. Pics of everything are available on request, please don't waste my time if you have no intention of buying. This is all top notch stuff that has barely seen the light of day.
