Ok, I thought it would be best to start alist, so to help people identify the factory race parts, mainly Rx7 ones from the 80's.

Oil Cooler # 1058 78 180
Larger than stock cooler and increases cooling by 50% over the standard type. The mountings are different, as your unable to mount directly under the radiator. This was the standard Competition Oil cooler for the Rx3 and Rx7
Standard type, 8 row.

MFR type, 11 row



Oil Cooler Lines #4352 14 720 & 4352 14 730


Rx7 Oil Sump # 4352 10 700

Standard Rx7

MFR Rx7


Radiator # 1058 78 190
Aluminum construction,larger core and longer. This is to provide 60% cooling capacity over the stardard type. This was the standard Competition radiator for the Rx3 and Rx7.


Difference between a Rx3 12a Radiator and the MFR

On the gearbox; the MFR version look to be using a cast iron front cover instead of the stock aluminum SA covers; it that actually the case? Or is it just heavily discolored?

j9fd3s

iTrader: (3)

its probably iron, everything GSL-SE and newer uses an iron front cover too.

Ohhh, what do I want?
The LSD would be awesome, the shift ****, and the intake manifold would be freaking sweet to own. Only if I knew where to find these and lived on the west coast.

lloyd12a

A while now and the parts will be used in my Rx7 MFR project.

lloyd12a

It's all alloy.... Just thicker casting & discoloured (need a clean)

If you lived on the West Coast, it'd probably be illegal for you to install much of this stuff.
