it's official, my max is for sale!
 

yup, i'm giving up on the maxima. it's a sweet car, but i think i want something a little flashier. i found an 88 mazda RX-7 convertible in porsche yellow. lots of mods, good price. anyway, i'm hoping to get around 5 for my max. i'd honestly probably accedpt 4500. ok here's the scoop

new clutch (8k miles on it)
new belts (around 5k on them, replaced with udp)
New VTC's (i think)

misc:
SE rims are really beat. and the tires are skinny but the car is slammed with the 50 series tires. i have a guy that can do 17" 7spoke rims and tires for 680 if anyone's interested. he's got lots of styles and stuff. when i bought the car the guy said he had 1500 dollars of "valve work" done. i think he meant the VTC's. he was an older guy, never beat on the car. i raced it once at SCCA and took 2nd in my class! took it to drag strip 3 times. so it's not like it's a track car. i'll include the stereo, it's not gonna fit in the RX anyway :) it's got new window regulators in 3 of the windows. the paint needs a little tlc. it's got some scratches and 2 tiny rust spots behind the rear door. it sat in a college parking lot for 2 years. what do you expect! most of the miles are highway (i know everyone says that) but i mostly used this car to commute to pittsburgh and back. it could use a set of shocks. the ones on it aren't leaking or anything, just wearing out. but all in all it's a nice car. anyway, let me know if anyones' interested. i'm from pittsburgh PA, and i go to college in Bowling green Ohio. email: flyry110@hotmail.com aim: flyry110

In what condition is the rotary motor? Hmm 88' huh, that means 12a? Turbo??

Whatever you do, keep about a grand for unexpected seal failure if that is a turbo version. If it's the na version, please change the oil regularly and watch the oil level.

it's NA, but not for long :) it's a good price as well. . . oh BTW, i'm NOT parting out my max. i don't feel like trying to sell all my mods. . . .

A bit of advice.. if you want to consider selling that car on any of these forums

1. please post in the Maximas for sale forum, not here.. I'm not going to whine much, as that's all anyone thinks we've done lately as moderators, and this is close enough to a relevant post..

2. remove the "Look how I treat my car at stoplights!" pic from your sig file.

:)

Putting in a factory Turbo engine = good idea if it's been rebuilt.

Turboing the factory na engine = bad news.

Matt: I thought he would have the common sense to take the sig pic out. hehe :laugh:

dude, i'll be straight with people. did that smokeshow for the camera. wasn't something i did alot! but i did race it a few times, and i drove it hard occasionally. but i think the car is worth the $

ok, i'll pull it, but if anyone wants to see it, let me know

Re: it's official, my max is for sale!
 

If you do decide to part-out for some reason, I've got dibs on those two.....

:D

STRUT BAR!
 

can i get that?

Wow, now that is a fully modded car! And a sweet colour too....

I'm sure someone out there would like a "turn-key" car :)

....are you sure about this Ryan? I'm salivating just looking at your sig pic!

Have you driven a 2nd gen RX-7
 

They are much slower than a stock Maxima never mind your Maxima.I have driven both stick's and auto's. Be prepeared to replace the conv. top pretty soon OR rain water will get into area where the ECU is and fry it.I'm not tring to dog Rx-7's but I want you to know what your getting into, atleast do a hours worth of research on them(web).

good luck
Jason

Cool man... glad to hear you are joining the RX-7 guys. Becareful on the rx7forums though.. cause there are a lot of people on there that really don't have a clue. These engines are easy to blow up if not modified properly. (In turbo form)

Re: it's official, my max is for sale!
 

what ever happened to you turboing the maxima? :laugh:

Yep, and always perform a proper warm up when cold. Very important to any rotors reliability.

hehehe yeah, if i don't get around 5 for my car, then i'll boost, but someone HAS to want this car! come on, someone help me. . . .

i forgot to mention autometer A/F meter and gauge pod. . .

No... 12a was 79-85 only. In the USA the only engine option for the convertable was the N/A 13b. In 1988 it put out 146hp, and 89-91 put out 160hp.
