On my drive to work which is a city/highway mix I'd get 22-25 MPG and that's steping on the gas when I get a chance. Only long trip I took with it was when I drove it from MI to VA. I was following my wife's maxima and I got better gas milage then her car. I don't remember what the milage was that time.

For Sale AD

Well it pains me to say it but it looks as my first engine swap car needs a new home. I had a lot of fun building this car and a lot of fun driving it. (build thread link in sig) However I have out grew the 2+2 layout and being a 2 door. yes I have kids. Anyway the car is up forsale. This is what it is:It is a '91 Rx-7 which I installed a Nissan V6 from a 2000 maxima and a 6 speed from a 350z. I started driving the car in mid 2004. I had a great time with it but I need a bigger car so I buit another car using a 4 door car.The motor in this car runs strong. It revs great etc. I don't know the actual miles but it came from a car that was wrecked after being on the road only 1 year (have the car fax). I installed the motor and have put 18,000 miles on it since. The trans is my second 350z trans as my first one had a grind in 3rd gear. The trans in it now is from a 2004 350z and shifts good. You can have the crappy as well with the car if you want it.The Chassis has the rear back seat in it giving it the 2+2 effect. I've also converted the motorized seatbelts to standard. The body has NO noticable rust. Body is SOLID. It has some mild dents on the RH fender from where a deer ran into the side of the car. Stupid deer. the door on the RH side has a shallow dent near the edge of it. Paint is fair for a car of this age. It's a little chalky in the pictures but would shine up nice. The paint on the fin and one head light cover is could use some help.Before I forget. A few that need attention. The Driverside rear caliper needs rebuilt/replaced as it is leaking. There is a leak in a heater hose just above the Driver side mainfold and I believe the fuel pressure regulator needs to be replaced (takes it a bit to build fuel pressure prior to start). I've modified the car. The car has been modified. NO dealer will touch it. Most repair shops wil scratch their heads. This is for a guy that likes working on cars. I've modified the subframe, Steering shaft and the seatbelts. Therefore suitability for driving it on public roads is up to who owns it. The car does have a valid VA inspection sticker. Oh it has no ac, No power steering and no front swaybar. I still have the swaybar and with some customising I believe it could be installed. I just have not done it. Less than 5,000 miles ago I put in a new walburo fuel pump. I have 2 brand new front rotors still in their boxes, a new master cylinder and rebuild kit for the rear calipers that I have never installed and a new ball joint for the rh front. Also 2 additional rims (a different rx-7 style) and tires are included. What else. Oh yah the car has AGX adustable shocks all round. about 18,000 miles on them. Front tires are in good shape the rears are worn pretty good. I put new brake pads all round on it in October. So less than 2,000 miles on them I'd say. And about that time I put a new ball joint on the left front. About a year or so about I put the "toe elimniator" bushings in the rear of the car.Power Windows, sunroof, lights. All work. This Rx-7 has the 4 piston front brakes and vented front and rear disc. has a viscus limited slip diff. Racing beat mufflers (from my old rotary engine days).I'm sure there is more. Ask me questions if you are interested. Feel free to e-mail me at . I'm looking for $3,000 OBO. (can barely buy a tired out LS1 for that much) For the right price I am willing to seperate the drivetrain from the chassis if someone would rather go that way.
