lol looks like my fb before paint.

 

 

nice sa. more info on the FI please.

 

Hey Mike - isn't that the show car Mazda UK used to announce the RX7 in Europe/UK in late 1979?
has the single early european mirror - and euro lic plate. For some reason Mazda used the Green colored cars as promo/intro-vehicles all over the world (except US), even tho they never marketed that color outside japan. Aussie brochure AND UK "Introduction" brochure both feature Green RX7s

Sweet setup there Rxdad. I really like the spark yellow paint

 

We need some more Just SA's added ............... the 7 with the Apex seal bumper

 

here is my SA 12a turbo bridge fuel injected the other picture is my SA stock with my 335 twin turbo

 

My SA, looking at boosting her and give it some more zip there are also some exterior additions coming

 

[/QUOTE] wow i love your car but can i get a pic of the brown one....and what color is that???

 

Thats an early 79. Judging from the Rt side hood prop that looks to fold into the hood instead of the fender, it most probably was built sometime in the summer or fall of 78. Could have been a Daytona Blue originally but looks like a custom shade of blue now. Someone has spent some time on her. Looks nice.

 

Here's my SA. Stock 12 with a lot of bolt ons, full Respeed brake/5 lug conversion, Respeed coil overs and more suspension goodies. Hope to get some boost soon, but being broke in college is a damper on that.

 

Nice blue, not Daytona Blue, mine is, underneath his hood has been painted so confirming it was a A9 car will be tough, right side prop rod yup early 79 3/8 till ? (anyone have clue when the switch happened?) We have a local guy with a redicioulsy clean 79 but it's later in the 79 model year prop on left side

 

I do like the orginial blue and recognized it on your car. One of the rarest colors for the first year too. Your question has been covered in other past threads and am not sure there is a 100% accurate time line of changes and exactly when they were implemeted.

First year production can be sub divided into early, mid and late production vehicles where various changes were made to interior trim, materials, colors, mirrors, dash vents, the A/C control and the hood prop. Early production (spring 78 to late summer) had the hood prop on the right side and it was hinged on the bonnet and folded/stowed there as well.

Mid production (Early fall to Dec 78) and they were still on the right, but folded and stowed in the fender. Late production (Jan-June 79) and they relocated to the LH side still stowed in the fender. A good place to look for original color might be under the carpet. If possibile, ****** a picture of that clean 79 and post it up. Always looking for another nice SA to gawk at!

 

My two SA's...


and

 

Gotta ask which ones more fun to drive? Ok now Honestly lol

 

Ok here is a super clean SA his dad owned it for about 30 years before my buddy got it, it's the only picture I have of it now ....
the white one ... frankly I don't think picures do it justtice any how



th3dorkscyd3 ... how is she running? man if it wasn't just before sevenstock I would have been so tempted to pick that up

 

She's running. The idle is messed up and for a while I couldn't rev further than 4k rpms in any gear. Then I used some sea foam in the gas tank and now she revs better. Father in law has helped me along the way. Parking brake is still touchy. It doesn't work is what I mean. So I got myself into more work than I was ready yo handle. But I still love her.

 

If the parking brake cables are intact then adjusting the back brakes will help alot, you can do it at the shoes or if it's not that bad you can adjust under the parking brake boot with a screwdriver pulling slack out of the cables. Just did that myself last night so I could drive her to work today

 

 

Awesome thanks. Quick question... Do you know where this mounts?




Picked it up from HOZZMANRX7 and have no clue where it goes. He threw it in with the parts car. So I'm confused as to what it is and what it does.

 

wtf?

I hate being stumped put I am sure I do not have one on mine, if it were bigger OD I would speculate it mounted into the floor behind the seats as an anchor for say a 5 point harness lol

ok hozzman what is that??

 

He said he used it to keep a speaker box in place behind his seats but I have no clue where. If it is used to mount a five point harness then I'm getting some harnesses.

 

too thin for harness

ok I can see it for keeping box in place, you dont need it send it to me

LMAO
