SOLD: [VIC] 2001 RZ - Sad to see her go...

[Velvet]

Hi Guys,

Very reluctantly I am putting my FD up for sale. Unfortunately as I need to take out a business loan I cannot keep my beloved toy.

I have not put it on carsales as yet as I would much rather it go to a true rotorhead who will look after it properly.

I bought the car for $29.5k at the end of last year, but for someone on here I will let it go for less. Here are the vital statistics.

2001 Mazda Rx7 RZ #187 (Thanks Steve!)

76xxxkms
Full rebuild 7,000kms ago. Extend Port, All OEM seals.
Rebuilt s8 turbos (2010 rebuild)
Ohlins PCV Coilovers
Power FC
SMB Exhaust with twin tip muffler
Petit Racing AST
XS Power FMIC
Aluminium Radiator (pwr I think)
Relocated battery (passenger storage bin)
Heavy Duty Clutch
Billet Flywheel
Short Shifter
RE Amemiya Gearknob
Custom CAI
GPS Tracker
Wedssport Rs-5ss wheels. (7kg each)
Nitto Rubber

I have recently done the following maintenance items.
Full service
Tune
New TPS
New Knock Sensor
Diff bushes
EBC Red Stuff Pads (machined discs)

Mechanically it is in excellent condition. Cosmetically it needs a little work as there is a slight bow in the bonnet and one of the fender vents needs respraying.

231rwkw @12psi (According to Maztech's dyno)
For someone on here I would let it go as is for $26,000 with rwc.
For a forum member I will also give away my spare parts. Including:
Bilstein OEM suspension
RZ ECU
Gearbox brace
Widefoot pedal extender
Mazdaspeed Gearknob
OEM Gearknob
And some more goodies as well...

Happy to answer any questions people have. In all honesty, I am absolutely gutted so I want to do this fast. Let me know if anyone would like some additional pictures.

[Mgoldbe1]

Thank you very much for your kind words Michael. I want to do this like a pulling off a band-aid... before I change my mind.

This is something that I have suspected I would have to do for a month or so, but until today I have not been able to make the decision.

I know one thing though, the first person who drives this FD will buy it. A lot of people write that in their car ads, but I mean it!

I have met such great people on this forum, so even if the FD goes I will be around to amuse people. ;)

[petz13b]

Don't do it keep that sweet baby of yours.

Definitely have a ride mate. We'd better do it soon!

[dogboy]

Shit James, not good!

If I hadn't bought mine, I definitely would have bought this - such an awesome car!

I sincerely hope the business takes off and you're back in an FD within 6 months.

[gotorx7]

James, you're doing the right thing if you're sure the business is going to work.

Make your money, THEN buy your toys..

Thanks mate. I hope it takes off too! Won't be 6 months though! Need to get a house sorted as well haha.

1st Business
2nd House
3rd Toys

That is the plan anyway. :D

[Velvet]

Thank you Dave. Judging by your awesome garage you have been here. :)

I drove the FD tonight. I had not driven it since I put it up for sale.
God I will miss it!

Some more photos for anyone who is interested :).
Unfortunately it was raining so I could not give the interior a good clean... Would rather not have soggy Recaros!

Come and get it mate! Not that far to drive :D

[Velvet]

Hi Guys. Sorry I have been MIA for a while. A lot to organise with wrapping up my last job and getting down to business...
(pause to allow the pure terribleness of that pun to fully sink in)

I am offering a price drop to $25,000 for a forum member. If you look at carsales I am not passing on this same price to members of the general public! It is not worth me selling for less than this, so I cannot really drop the price any further.

[Daffodil]

Hey James maybe consider replacing those fugly white rims :muppetredface: with OEM ones as itl make it so much easier to sell your Fd as the stock ones look so much better, Glws :ausflag:

[stocker]

Mate do yourself a favour and put the price up 5k to at least $30 000, $25k is a disgrace for a registered no risk RZ in the best colour. If you saw what piles of shit were left in Japan and what else is on carsales you wouldn't even sell it.

[Daffodil]

^^^^^ Just what stocker said sounds cheap and increase the price as some peoples may think there is something wrong with it.... :ausflag:

Thanks Daff. RZ rims are pretty had to come by though. I would have already grabbed some if I had found them! :D

Cheers Stocker. I will probably increase the price in a couple of weeks. Once I have got my business loan there is no incentive for me to sell it in a hurry (or at all!) anymore.

Someone will get an excellent deal if they buy this now. :)

[Eiji]

That's a bargain for an RZ with mods!!

[Velvet]

Deposit Taken. Sold pending final payment.

[BenC]

congrats mate.

[Velvet]

congrats mate.

Thanks Ben. Will wait until it is fully paid for.
The guy who put down the deposit seems like a good guy, so that makes me happy. :)

[Rotary Wolf]
