A clean, relatively stock FD-chassis RX-7 is certainly worth celebrating, but this one deserves a little extra fanfare. Why? Because it’s an R1 model.
Sold exclusively in North America, this R1 is one of only 350 to be painted Competition Yellow Mica from the factory.
This RX-7 is also billed as having had its engine professionally rebuilt using Mazda parts and its exterior refinished in its original shade of Competition Yellow Mica.
Aftermarket coil-overs, a Wilwood big brake kit and a staggered wheel setup–18x9-inch wheels up front, 18x11-inch wheels out back–have also been fitted, per the seller.
Find this 1993 Mazda RX-7 Coupe for auction from Mecum on January 17.
Dang.
And wondering what it would take to put it back to stock....
Sorry for being a hater, but the last time I bought Kenda tires I was at Tractor Supply. :)
In reply to David S. Wallens :
Being a former RX7 owner, I was thinking more on the lines of an LS swap.
The body and interior are relatively stock, big plus.
The engine looks very modified, the block may be all Mazda parts, but everything past the manifolds aren't. Still twin turbo but they're a lot bigger than stock. The intake manifold is from the Eunos Cosmo.
Could be good if it drives nicely, have no idea what modified FDs go for.
Bill Cardell, founder of Flyin' Miata, had a yellow R1. He sold it a bit before I joined the company, but we have pics of it in front of the old shop in NJ. I'll see if I can drag some out.
What does a kidney fetch these days?

I’d second that emotion.
Oh well hello, there.

Patrick has them on his skyline and I have them on my v6 swapped rx8. They are actually pretty dang good.
