I bought a series 4 RX7 in the same conditon about 15 years ago from auction.

Pretty much needed a fully dressed front cut to get ALL the bits needed to fix it.

That was a mate of mines. Built engine, big turbos. Very sad to see it burn.

[dark-knight]

Ouch!

[xALmoN]

would the engine still be salvageable?

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Yeah, I think it is. Just a had a big clutch put in too.

[xALmoN]

sigh, no money...

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

[WHITER33GTS-T]

What sort of $$$$s is he after...?

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Its gone through insurance so its the company that would be after the coin.

This question has been following me around like a bad itch but here goes...

How did the fire start?

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Im pretty sure it was a fuel line issue Tez.

take a lot of work to get it sorted. would only really be any good if you had a crashed car to take all the parts out of. basically the whole engine bay will need to be rewired, including headlights, etc.

If anyone is serious, talk to Arron from Importmonster

He just sold his car to re shell a crashed race car, so his old motor is for sale and I am sure you could chase up the wrecked one for the remaining parts like wiring, plastic bits and pieces etc.

Depending on price, I don't think it'd be that bad of a buy.

I personally have "all the parts" (that I can see needs to be replaced) to fix it, just from looking at the damage now.

Not sure how much damage there is on the actualy chassis - warping or the likes.

Hazard a guess, front shocks are gone, engine loom will be shot, inner guards,

- The fire looks contained, hasn't travelled far back - doesn't look like its hit the firewall at all.

Looks bad I reckon cause of the carbon fibre bonnet.

- Look at the radiator, I've seen worst condition radiators in cars that haven't gone up in flames.

Anyone know when this is going up for auction?

- Don't think the lister had an idea when putting it up.

11/01? Compliance date - well it looks date like on the plate.

And should be 6 speed.
