So here I am looking through craigslist and I have always been an RX-7 fan and had this thing for first gens. So I found this 85, dude was talkin 1000 firm. I did a little bit of research before purchasing the car, inspected the engine bay, the 12a looked bone stock, I spun the crank with my hand, no carbon lock. He's like the starter is bad. Body was decent, it has some rust but nothing that can't be repaired. Interior was mint. Car is red on black fully loaded. I was like 750 and I tow it home right now. He agreed, put it on the trailer and headed to the shop. Grabbed some oil, coolant, and a starter on my way. Put the starter in, changed the fluids, little starting fluid in the carb, it cranked right over. The idle was high as **** at first 3500 with the choke out, I was told that the choke goes in by it self, but i have to do mine manually??? Got the idle right around 600. I'm looking to restore the exterior and interior to mint stock shape, then I want to throw a 13B Cosmo in there, my plan is to make it a full time track car. Drag strip that is. I know that the GSL-SE would have been a better platform because there is already a 13B in it, which would make the swap alot easier. So where is all the literature on the swap, I did a little searching around in the FAQ, but could not find anything solid.

I'll post pictures of this beauty later.

 

If you are gonna go 13B and are looking for drag power....go boost. Here's a link to swapping 13B from the later 2nd gen FC RX7's. https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...hreadid=255020

 

Yeah I already stated that I wanted to put a 13B in there, probably a cosmo. Anyone know a good source for replacement carpet?
