FS @ eBay: Peter Farrell Supercars IMSA #77 1993 Mazda RX7 R1 Racecar

[DigDugJoe]

Peter Farrell's legendary IMSA championship #77 RX7. Very fast 1993 Mazda RX7 R1 built by Peter Farrell Supercars with sponsorship from Shell for the IMSA ESS/GrandAm series (Grand Sport class).

Ported 13B-REW twin-turbo rotary engine with one-off Mazda Motorsports ECU makes 350HP at the wheels at 15PSI. The car weighs only 2600LB wet with 50/50 weight distribution. Equipped with 6-point cage with driver-side door bars built by Mitch Piper. ATL 22-gallon fuel cell with dual fuel pumps and 1-quart surge tank. Setup for pitstop refueling with GrandAm Cup legal dry-break.

Thanks to its bulletproof fuel system and relatively low boost levels, the car is surprisingly reliable. Being designed for endurance racing, the ECU is programmed conservatively enough to keep the motor running rich at all times, and the cooling system is easily capable of keeping temps at a reasonable level. There is very little lag, thanks to the twin-turbo setup.

Well-sorted, thoroughly developed and fully prepared for SCCA competition. Current SCCA logbook in ITE, all safety equipment up to date. Perfect for anyone who wants to show up and win in SCCA ITE sprint race or endurance events, and also makes an excellent track day car. Could be easily converted for street use if desired. Very fast, very reliable and low-maintenance. Completely ready to race!

What have you been smoking? There is an underhood shot. You should actually look before making asinine comments.

The car is in great shape. It's been very well taken care of, and it's extremely fast.

Why so quick to flame, ghostrx7?

I understand. I couldn't find a "for sale" forum, so I just figured it belonged here...

The car has some wear and tear, but really not that much for a racecar. It's in better shape than some 3rd gen street cars I've seen. The chassis is very stiff (thanks to the cage), suspension geometry is perfect, engine fires right up and runs smoothly, and the trans is smooth and noiseless. The turbos are only a few years old and in good shape.

And it pulls like a bat outta hell!

i just see it at 11500 reserve not met with 4 days left. which means its gonna go up alot. u could get a mint 94 for like 16500, but like i said, i have to realize that its a race car, not a street car. if i was rich, it'd be a hell of a toy!sorry if i was bein azzhole.

FYI: The reserve is set at $12,000.
