New Car...Well new project.

[eraser4g63]

So I picked up a new project.1987 turbo 2 RX-7 It was 100% stock, minus the wheels, when i picked it up, 115K on her. just installed an Autometer boost gauge, and a A/F ratio gauge. Going this week for a full exhaust from the turbo back and im ordering my SAFC and Bov later this month. merry christmas to me.

nice find glad to see more 7's on the road but take care of it an you should have gotten a volt meter with the purchase FCS are eletrical nightmares thats what iam dealing with now drivin me nuts

[eraser4g63]

well i had both from a prior car, I am buying a voltmeter soon. so question how the hell do i keep it from flooding???? I already changed the plugs, ordered wires and changed the air filter. but i still have cold weather start up flooding and even warmish weather start up issues. any ideas???

dam nice car, there is something about the old body style rx7's and supras that just makes them look sleek and badass! nice car! :googjob: also dont mind asking how much did you pick that up for, always wondered how much those generally run!

The place i got it from was asking almost $5000, but when you wave cash around they tend to be more willing to work with you, $4000. You know honestly i went between an EVO, and STI, but after looking at them and really considering my options i realized i wanted a car i controlled and that wasn't basically being driven by an ECU . plus i get a huge hard on for late 80s-mid 90s hatch back sports cars.

Did you buy it from a person or a dealership? The reason I ask, one of my friends was the owner right before you.

I got it from a dealership. if your freind is on IA have him PM me, i got a couple questions. mainly did he ever get it to pass emissions or not. what what all little problems does he know about.

fyi u got screwed on that deal. that car is SUPER problems. there are like 3 oil leaks on the motor, the passenger side motor mount is held in with zipties if im not mistaken the diff mount is about shot??

i went to look at it from a "private seller" who was driving another car from the same place, a supra turbo. also COMPLETELY full of problems. if it was me..... ditch the car. unless you like suprises.

and if you knew about all of this stuff, idk why you bought it. if you didnt, sorry to burst your bubble, the "private seller" was going to give it to me for 3500... and ya, the "private seller" works at the dealership you bought the car from.
he told me he bought the car for a friend but the friend got robbed and couldnt buy the car from him, so he "needed to get rid of it fast", and had a similar story for the supra.....

if you think im just ****ing around, it is leaking oil SLOWLY out of 3 spots on the front of the motor 2 places near the intake man. and one above/behind the water pump. and i bet the dealership, unless they decided to fix the diff. mount and motor mount after me and a friend pointed it out, missed it in their inspection b4 they sold it to you.

Yeah i just found the motor mount. the diff mount was replaced. i just found the oil leaks this morning. I had no idea all this stuff was wrong with it. but im going to start working my way through them. im going to install the switch for the fuel pump tonight. just wondering if anyone can refer me to a good rotary shop localy. but thanks for the heads up. i bought it and kinda knew it was going to be a project. i just ordered a motor mount about 5 mins ago. so i geuss its time to start fixing it.
