Default Pics of my 5 speed SC300

I took a few pics of my car today. I just bought a 1993 Mazda RX-7, and am thinking of selling the SC . I just wanted to get some people opinion on my car before I put it up for sale/

WOW! Very nice color, very nice stance, very nice rims, VERY clean interior! You've maintained her well, anyone would be lucky to buy that car in the condition it's in, what's the mileage?

Eeww , ya I'd get rid of it as soon as possible. Looks horrible, I would sell it to the first person that was even remotely interested....





So how much you asking and are you willing to ship?

j/k your car looks great!

Awesome!

That is what I consider tasteful modding.

You'll love the Mazda It's a much different beast.

It's possible to own both, and I recommend you keep the SC, or at least get a beater. The FD3S works as a daily driver, but with the potential for problems due to careless previous owners on second hand RX-7's, it's good to have a backup car available.

It takes patience to be a dedicated rotary owner, and if you're decent with a wrench the car should be no problem. I've had my FD for nearly 6 years now

www.rx7club.com is a nice resource for rx7 related info, but as with any forum, take the information on there with a grain of salt. A lot of bad information floating around.

Castrol GTX 20w50 every 1500 miles
BUR9EQ x 4 replace every 3000 miles
Let the car fully warm, and let it cool down a little before shutting it off.
Get a boost gauge so you can detect any problems with the sequential turbo system/engine health+compression.

Its best for maintenance and the car should last a good long while.

Thanks a lot on all the good feed back guys. I wish I could keep them both but unfortunately I have to get rid of one. If I do decide to keep the RX-7 I have a 1986 AE86 as a daily driver. As for the interior it has never been redone, and the body has no paint work except for the body kit and rear bumper. It just hit 100,000 miles while driving it tonight.

That color is a love it or hate it color. Unfortunately I am not on the love it list, but what has been done to the car looks nice.

Two totally different machines, the Lexus can never compare to the rx-7 in different aspects, and the rx-7 can't compare to the Lexus in different aspects. Depends on what you're looking for in a car.

I picked up a turbo rx-7 (4th one) just after I bought my Sc400 a little over a year ago. Now I'm planning to do a 1jz Sc300 project and keeping the sc400 as a daily driver, gotta have a daily driver to have a project car right? But, when I can afford to keep up with the maintenance a rx-7 requires no doubt I'll have one in my driveway again.
