This 1988 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II is finished in silver over two-tone blue cloth and is powered by a turbocharged and intercooled 1.3-liter Wankel rotary paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The car was acquired in 1998 by the seller, after which the engine and transmission were reportedly overhauled and the clutch was replaced. Modifications are said to include a Fluidyne radiator, a cold-air intake, a high-flow fuel pump, and an electric cooling fan as well as relocation of the battery to the cabin. Additional equipment includes 16″ wheels, a power sunroof, and a Blaupunkt CD stereo.
The car was refinished in silver and features pop-up headlamps, a hood scoop, a power sunroof, a decklid spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets. The paintwork on the driver-side fender is cracked, a dent is noted on the driver’s door, imperfections are present on the front bumper, and the passenger-side headlamp flap has been modified with an air inlet. No aLidents are listed on the Carfax report.
Factory 16″ alloy wheels wear 205/55 SuperMax TM-1 tires. Braking is provided by discs all around.
The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in two-tone blue cloth with matching door panels and carpets. Equipment includes power windows, a rear wiper, and a Blaupunkt CD stereo.
Factory instrumentation consists of a central tachometer, a 160-mph speedometer, and gauges for boost pressure, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. Auxiliary gauges are mounted on the driver-side A-pillar. The six-digit odometer shows 137k miles.
The turbocharged and intercooled 1.3-liter Wankel rotary produced 181 horsepower when new. The turbo was reportedly rebuilt in 2012, and the engine is said to have been overhauled after the seller’s acquisition in 1998 with replacement seals and rotor housings. The battery has been relocated to the cabin, and additional modifications are said to include a Fluidyne radiator, an electric cooling fan, a cold-air intake, a high-flow fuel pump, a performance catalytic converter, and a boost defeat module.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. Work performed in 1998 is said to have included rebuilding the transmission and the installation of a replacement clutch.
