82 mazda rx7 race car barn find
I had a buddy that found the car for me. Has two dedicated quarter panels to racing stickers. 2 and a half inch collectors coming into a crazy straight pipe exhaust. I thought 4 barrel carb was an aftermarket option. With a high rise K & N style air filter. The back seat had a couple racing slicks. All the above lead me to believe I coulda been on to something.
My thoughts were if I've been had I'll junk the car for minimal expense. I took the car home hooked a battery to it. It turned over. The carburetor venturi's were froze. And then I went back to try again. But all my electronics died.
Figure there is a major fuze link that I blew. I got the carb off with that damned 4th bolt. It's on the bench looking at that and how clean the intake runners are. Along with perfect colored oil and nice and oil free radiator fluid I'm excited to hear this thing Rumble Profusely.
It's the high end car sun roof power everything. Black with two red stripes on the sides. Bare minimum I thought I could use the motor in my vw rail repower. After looking at the thing for a couple days I've been thinking about gutting the interior to bare minimals throwing a fuel cell in the back and having a really fun beater.
