RX-7 GTU for Free
I have a White (w/Blue interior) non-turbo 1989 (160HP) RX-7 GTU with 120K miles, and no sunroof.
I will give her to anyone who can pick up in Weston, MA.
I wish I had the time/shop/$$$ to make a track car.
The car runs, but the ECU is throwing two codes, one for the Metering Oil Pump,
and one for an air unit near the six port actuators.
I plugged in two used replacement parts, but the Oil pump code remained.
According to a rotary mechanic, once the oil pump throws a code, the ECU must be replaced.
The GOOD
- 40K on a Mazda rebuilt well cared for stock motor & clutch
- new engine mounts
- rebuilt "top end": all hoses & fuel lines, spec'd injectors, etc.
- new brake rotors (from an auto shop) & calipers (from dealer)
The BAD
- passenger door does not open
- battery is not tied down
- brake master (or booster) is shot
- RR shock is toast
- cat is OK, but back exhaust is toast
Odd PARTS (some new, some old)
- manifold
- old shocks
- oil lines
- oil pump
- a set of Blizzacks with only one winter of wear
If interested please call my cell phone, 617-771-2732.
Otherwise, she'll be at the junk yard a few weeks before the snow flies.
I replaced her with an RX-8 which should make it to NHMS3.
