TWR ones are gorgeous rarer than hens teeth!! I got the Elford Turbo one as i wouldn't let the wife drive the black one. Only because she views kerbs as part of the road when parking and no one was fixing chrome wheels. She loved the gold car, even the manual choke. The only thing she did not like was the lack of power steering. I imagine the gold one was a bit of a riot in 1982, with 180bhp. I felt the steering was so communicative i often preferred it to my black Rx7.

Hi Steve, Engine rebuild? Rx7? No idea what you talking about 😁 💰💰💰 60k miles was a general rule of thumb for a stock engine before a rebuild but it varied a lot depending on who rebuilt the engine and the maintenance. Once you start increasing the turbo size and port the engine, there is no real guide. I just know that i virtually towed a Shell petrol tanker as she used to drink fuel for fun. Seen people do LS V8 engine swaps on the RX7 and they looked impressive in a straight line. Not sure the handling balance was quite there! Tax was quite cheap for me. Mine was registered as a 1.3L engine!

No problem, Here is my 1982 1st Gen RX7 Elford Turbo version. Clsssic 80's gold/brown colour, The black one was my first 3rd Gen RX7 i got in 2005.

Hi All, I'm moving on from the Mazda Rx-7 (1st and 3rd Gen) land and now looking forward to purchasing an SC430. Ideally one that is face-lifted but its all about condition and maintenance record so i'm flexible. This looked like the best place to start so i look forward to finding a beauty here! Cheers, Xerxes
