This RX-7 Bathurst Edition is a lightly modified example of a cult favourite Japanese performance car. Under the bonnet is a 252bhp 1.3-litre twin-turbocharged and twin-rotor 13B-REW Wankel engine, driven through the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. A Japanese Domestic Market Series 6 RX-7, badged as an Efini, this car has since been exported to Australia. This car benefits from a very recent compression test, and was last serviced in October 2021. The Series 7 Type RB Bathurst is a rare RX-7 variant, understood to be one of 777 cars built to commemorate the Japanese marque’s back-to-back wins at the Bathurst 12hr race between 1992 and 1994. This car is finished in a vibrant red hue, and rides on 17-inch Volk Racing RE30 wheels that are finished in a dark bronze colour, which are wrapped in new Yokohama AD08RS tyres. Its factory specification includes electric windows, electric mirrors, air-conditioning, and it retains the original cloth-covered front passenger seat and black leather upholstery for the rear seats. This car has been modified with Ohlins R-Magic coil-over suspension and a Knight Sports titanium exhaust, while inside there is a Recaro bucket seat for the driver, a Momo tuner steering wheel, Momo gear knob, and a Mazdaspeed instrument cluster. It has also been fitted with an aftermarket touch-screen media system. Accompanying the car is an export certificate from Japan showing the odometer history. The seller is not aware of any prior bodywork damage. Its red paintwork is believed to have been refreshed in places, and now presents well for its age, though there are some small surface scratches and other flaws, and it would benefit from a machine polish to rectify swirl marks. The Recaro bucket seat shows signs of use, but no major wear, while the front passenger seat is in superb order. The rear leather is in good shape - the small area of padding visible is from the zipped section where the seat belt connections can be fastened. The stereo head unit needs to be reconnected. There are no known electrical or mechanical faults. Its engine was put through a compression test in January 2022, which showed consistent readings of around 115psi, carried out at Racing Project in Mitcham, VIC. The last service was an engine oil and filter change in October 2021 at Ham Automotive. The same workshop serviced the car in October 2020, and also re-gassed the air conditioning. This Series 6 Mazda RX-7, in Efini-badge JDM guise, is a rewarding performance car, which has been lightly upgraded to enhance the dynamics and driver environment. A true modern classic, this is also understood to be one of the limited Bathurst Edition cars, celebrating the RX-7’s wins at the famous track. It would make a great weekend toy, and a fine basis for further modification should the next owner so desire.
