Ok enough of the boring, I’m sure I missed something anyway. This Rx7 started life in/around 1997 in Northern Va. there are a few log books that come with the car that sort of follow that. After a few years the car transferred hands to a team in Atlanta. That’s where the cage improvements were done and the V8 swap took place. The engine was torn down and rebuilt using SCAT internals, SCO heads and GT40 intake. Standard length headers guide the exhaust from the engine to a 2 muffler exhaust ( mid run resonator to a regular muffler) . As it sits, and per the most recent owner, this car never failed on noise.
A T5x handles the power to the custom drive shaft to an 8.8 rear. Disc brakes all around bring this car to a hault. ARP studs hold the wheels in place. The adjustable B.C coils all around stabilize this 2300# rocket as the driver threads through traffic with ease.
This car has been most recently certified for SCCA Hill Climb, Time Attack, Champ for 2025 Campaigns
Tons of spare stuff, log books , various docs and receipts. Enough to nearly fill a truck bed. Passenger seat seen in pics, does not convey.
Someone come take this. Due to my recent health issues my loss is your gain and I really want to see it do what it was designed for. Will TRADE- Convertible Corvette etc
