Hey. Im new here so yea...
I decided that i was sick of getting lame *** clothes and all that christmas B.s. for presents so i found a 1980 Rx-7 for $300. Its got some minor body rust in the rear and has some electrical problems. It wont start do to electrical problems (supposibly, which honestly i hope so cause thats not too hard to find out why.) Its baby blue, with the 12a motor. So yea i just thought i would introduce myself and see if there are any common electrical starting problems that might occur with these cars. Thanks in advance.

 

Welcome to the forum. Check out the faq page, archives and get used to the search button. There's a ton of no start threads out there, so you'll will most likely find your answers by searching. If you don't, post it here. Newbs are required to post pics of there new ride. Post them when you can. Check and make sure there is no rust behind the storage bins, wheel wells, everywhere. How much miles does it have? God bless

 

Ok so there is a small amount of rust above the left wheel wll, and how do i check for rust behind the storage bins? I have been looking at the FAQ section and i cant quite start yet cause i dont get the car tell tomorow....(lame its like christmas eve) the car sais 50k but i think it must have rolled over

 

thats the best present one could ask for, really. post some pics! hope you get it running long before cristmas!!

 

well, since its an 80, it wont have storage bins. you canb check the inner wheel well from the outside. look closely around the control arm mounts. and you should throw up some pics of your new present. its like teasing a child with a sucker... or teasing a cat with a can of tuna fish..you get my drift.

 

Sounds good. You must post pics. We are pic wores here to so the more the better. LOL Welcome to the club. You need any parts let me know as i have an 80 I am almost doen parting out. Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving.
