93 rx-7 6500 but not running

:
2001 Mazda MP3
Got a deal on a 93 rx-7 6500 not running haven't seen the car yet but he said someone told him its floated idk what that means n it would start but now it dsnt I know there wrth the investment also he said the car backfired when it hits a high rpm
 
I would do a compression check before i purchased any non running rotary unless u r willing to put lots of money in it. But thats a grwat price even for a shell for an fd!

Got pics?
 
Also whay mods r done to it?

Sounds like its not timed right or having detonation issues which are not good on a rotary at all!
 
He said js a 3 inch exhaust he said a mechanic told him a thosand to get it rebuilt but that sounds a lil to cheap ill post the offer
 
have a 93 RX7 1.3L twin turbo Rotary engine, Auto transmission. It has 70,885 original miles. Body is in great shape, Racing beat rear wing, Midnight blue paint in excelent condition, factory 16" wheels, 3" stainless exhaust, Blitz Nur Spec muffler, new fuel pump, and tune-up. Tan leather interior in great condition also, Greedy turbo timer, The door handles are kind of hard to open from the outside but open fine from the inside. Also the sunroof motor does work but don't open, looks like it's stuck or something. Blue rebuilt salvage title. No body or frame damage at all. The engine idles great but misfires at high RPM's. I have driven it around the block but it needs to be tuned or something to be driveable at freeway speeds. If you're into sports cars you know what this car is worth in this condition. This car looks great from every angle, I just don't have the time or the money to get it fixed. Asking $7,800, may even consider a trade for a vehicle of equal or so value, but cash preferred
 
it's montego blue mica, not midnight blue.
simply,

if waterseals bad. reassemble block with new seals - affordable but not cheap.
if a detonation related apex seal - chances are you need new housings or additional irons.
