I have some pretty unique rust!

nah it's not that bad :D

um i have a car that can squrt water on people does that count (winshild water thing is off so ppl can hold it out the window kinda funny)

did your waffles come stock like that? if my car wasnt silver, thatd be nice to have.

got the glass moonroof, but thats one of the more common rare parts, i take it

I don't have it on my car,but I have a trailer hitch for a 1st gen that the previous owner of my car bought for it,and never used.I would bet that is a rare option.

Oh yeah I also have a working original power antenna on my 5/78 car which has to be some sort of record(beat only by 64mgb I am sure).

too late to edit my last post, but i remembered i also have the moonroof cover and my bin hinges still work, as does my rear wiper

lol for wipers i only have one front one LOL

thats like the only thing that broken on mine! 5/78 red GS....

mt motor has a brand new(well 2500mi ago) pre 78 front and rear irons :). i also have SSR wheels a limited production staggered set of RS-8s.

all leather sports came with the solar gold colored waffle wheels, despite the color of the exterior. of course there were only three choices; brilliant black, aurora white, or solar gold.

as far as rarity, i have the original floor mats for the leather sport, the original unused spare tire, and a factory mazda bra from 1980 that i bought from an estate and it WAS in the factory sealed bag until i opened it and put it on my LS.

on my 10AE, i have the optional glass break sensors that are integrated in the security system as well as the bronze tinted moon roof. the moonroof was a dealer installed option.

what do the original floor mats look like?

i'll take a picture when i go over to the garage and pot it up. they were originally brown but they've faded to a weird shade of green:) i'll look to see if maybe i have a pic before i go and take more.....

ok, found a pic. they're kinda leafy. but you get the basic idea:) i can take more if you're interested.

aww i want a pair. and is that the stock radio mine seems to be different? oh and it says we have 6 speakers ony my window sticker. i only know of 4. 2 in hatch 2 up front.

yeah, thats the original factory stereo. there were i think three different stereos that could be had in the 7 for 80. mine only has 4 speakers and i've never seen a first gen with more than 4 from the factory.

although you're lucky to have the original window sticker. that is one thing i want for my car. if you could scan yours and email it to me, that would be amazing! then i could photoshop my vin in there and print it out and then i would have as close to a window sticker as i could get for my LS. what are the last 4 of your VIN? i wonder if they're close to mine.

my window sticker say 6 speaker stero

ha i think you wanted me to do that and i just ended up smokeing too much and forgetting

that'll happen. if you would that would be awesome.

ok it wolnt fit in my scanner all the way. and i dont have photoshop to splice the picture

whats your email?

scan it in two sections. my email address is mazdaverx7@hotmail.com i can piece it together if that would make it eaiser on you.

Is that the original tape deck? My orginal tape deck is different looking. Hmmm.

the tape deck in my LS is original, yes.

almost sent

Ahh, its an LS. Mine 80 is a GS, I guess the decks are slight different then. Cool.

this is the deck in my LS

i would say that the radio in your LS is an aftermarket radio. it looks good though. thanks for the scan!

83 with working power antenna. a/c blows cold with r12. old mazda script floor mats. all origanal paper work (window sticker, pre-delivery inspection sheet, old warrenty papers on air conditioning & the car itself). heres a pic of my floor mats. also up untill i bought the car, the sun roof had NEVER been removed from the car, only cracked open using the crank, so i got to be the one to first un-fold the sunroof bag from the factory. i dont think theres anyone else on here that can say that, unless they're the origanal ower, which i'm not.

Original 83 gsl working cassete player

New, never been opened driverside Factory Mazda door. Been in the box since 1980.
According to the search the dealership did, there is only 1 remaining factory door available thru Mazda. Rx7club official club decal from approx 1991.

We are not impressed by a silly door

Kory_yahi^ in possesion of a rx7,lol

How about a 79 Savanna GT Model with Fender mounted mirrors, oh wait not that big a deal, but but but..... in the US not in Japan

Official "Factory Rear Seat"

OK don't like that one........ how about a whole rack of OEM bridgestone tires and NOS early rare style Rx7 alloy rims

Rotary Dude I can definatley help you store those fender mirrors. They look like there really getting in your way ;)

If you ever thought of selling those what would you be looking to get for them?

You might want to keep in mind that the fenders are reinforced to hold the mirrors. You don't simply bolt the mirrors on and hope that use can see anything through the vibration of the mirrors.

damn you got to it b4 me fucker! :fawk:

it seems like a waste to keep your 7's in that poor of condition. hell atleast wash them.

got a mirror from a 65 buick biscane. 10 bucks at a junkyard, looks awesome, pass mirror is shaved

rotarydude, are you planning a restoration on your savanna?

RD doesn't post a lot, but has a rotary collection that puts all of us to shame and makes us look like amatuers, both in knowledge and rotarys. Search the other rotary section for pics of part of his collection, it's simply amazing.

He is also a serious restorer and has produced some damn fine vehicles. I would say he is the Jay Leno equivilant of rotarys.

Thanks for the compliments my ego is really boosted.

To answer your questions yes the Savannas (both the one on the right and left of that are also RHD) are being restored or rebuilt. My big problems are pretty much the same for all 3 cars.... I need series 1 JDM carbs as 2 are missing and the 3rd is a US spec one with horrible mods done to it. Aside from that 2 were rescued from parts car status the 3rd was purchased off ebay about 8 months ago. It has been a very very busy year for me we almost missed 7-stock because of it. I have moved most of the collection and all of the parts to our new shop about 3 miles from our old location (new much larger) Then a friend of my sold me his entire stash of parts NOS and used it took 7 days to box it up and pack (and i mean pack) it into a 26 ft truck with a trailer. so if the ones in the shop are a little dusty I am sorry I will get right on it.

BTW there are alot of guys out there that I would like to give props to that know their specific model much better than I do, but yea I do have alot of general across the board info and if it can help anyone let me know

I have all the orig paperwork that came with the car as new (finance contract, all the little booklets, the original dealer installed a/c paperwork)

I also have the orig Rx-7 floor mats.

Both roofs and bags for each.

A targa Band.

A fiberglass "1" piece rear wrep around spoiler.

"LE" wheels

Rectangle fog lights with black vinyl covers that have Mazda on them

Thats it!

rd sounds like you got too much on your hands. PM me your adress. i'll be down soon to take some of that stuff off your hands ha

Does anyone have pictures of tonneau covers installed? I have seen two different versions; one that looks like an SUV cover rolled up into a tube that you can pull across the cargo hatch to hide luggage. And another that looks like it mounts to the ceiling and has flaps to cover the rear windows. According to a brochure I saw the one for the Mazda GLC also works on the RX-7.

Also does anyone have any pictures of the luggage bar that mounts above the storage bins and keeps luggage from sliding into the back of the seats?

how about original build data punch sheets :) i win!

I have that chrome luggage bar, I bought it off of eBay a few years ago and have never tried mounting it. Not even sure how it does mount. From the looks of it, it needs 2 holes drilled for the bar to slip down through the floor, then a screw in each L angle tad holds it down. If you have an idea exatly where it does mount, I'll see if I can mock it up in the shell and take a pic.

So does my ego boosting help in locating a clutch pedal set for my REPU. lol. Keep up the great work. If I ever get back to Texas again, I'll need to pay you a visit. Do post more, especially pics and knowledge, the forum needs more educated info than we get most of the time.

Fwiw, I'll be happy to part with the auto tranny, complete with the flex plate and torque converter. The odometer shows under 60k, iirc. I also need the grill emblem, the po sold it off, along with the carb, intake and oil cooler. The last 3 items I don't need, but the emblem would be nice.

are you talkin about this thing in the bottom of the picture?

i also have most of the paperwork. hell i may have all of it
