I found it while I was a bit bored and searching for a FC Turbo II just for fun. The car was advertised as running but with many problems and there was some strange stuff in the pictures which I've never seen on any RX7 before like a rollcage, a strange carburetor and, of course, a turbocharger. The previous owner didn't really know what he had there and wanted to get rid of it because he wasn't able to repair it. So he started an Ebay auction beginning at 1€.
I didn't have to think long. I wanted that car because I wanted to have a RX7 again and because I was totally interested in the strange turbo carburetor thing. I even wanted to bid up to 7000€ to get it but luckily the auction stopped at 4000. Oh by the way the car had only 41000km on the clock! So I rented a car trailer and drove about 400km to pick it up. It was in a better condition than I was hoping for. No rust holes, just minor surface rust. The engine even was running but it was extremely hard to start because the carburetor never was rebuilt before.
Those were the first pictures:
After some weeks of work, including the rebuild of the carburetor, a new fuel pressure regulator because the rebuilt carb was constantly flooding and fixing a hacked to death middle console, the car was back on the road again. I even got a historic registration for it.

2 weeks ago a good friend of mine built a new stainless steel 63.5mm exhaust for the car. This is how it looks now:
Because of that the engine had so much less back pressure that it started running lean under boost. So to know what exactly is going on I installed a wideband AFR gauge from AEM. I know it's not exactly matching the time when the car was built but it helps me seeing if anything is wrong with the car and that's worth it.
The fuel level gauge shows me how much water ethanol mixture is left.
By the way 2 months ago I found nearly all the documents from the original owner including bills and so on lieing under the seats. A really nice find.
Oh and the car has round about 270hp at the flywheel at 0.8bar boost pressure.
) and I guess I tried to many things at once. I changed the gasoline form 95 to 100 octane, installed bigger secondary jets in the carburetor and changed the plugs from BR8s to 9s. Now I'm able to produce huge fire balls when I floor the pedal in first or second gear. Funny but not really what I wanted.
