Broken Center Console
I just picked up my second RX-7 from my aunt this weekend. She has owned it since new and had just been restored but gave it to her son to drive a couple years agon. Of the many small repairs I have to do, the centre console arm rest is broken. I was wondering if I could get a different colour from the wrecker and swap the peices.

Heh. I dont know what the dude who owned this RX7 was doing before me... However, the center console was literally looking like it was burned by acid. I bumped it, and it shattered into peices. The entire roof of this car too was covered in what I think was WEED. As in, the drug. Marry jane smoke. It was sticky, black and had a foul odour.

I checked the basic spots, spare tire, etc. Im sure though that if there was anything to get busted for, its all rusted out like the rest of the car

the spring might of just come off, you if you remove the center console, pretty simple. like 4 screws, 2 of them are at the rear of it, and two more under the little switch thing behind the shifter, this is either a coin holder, or your window button switch depending on model. it pops out easy enough with a flat head screw driver, just dont pry too hard or you'll break the plastic prong things holding it down.
then the console just lifts right off, flip it over and make sure the spring is still attached to the metal arm thing in between.
i'm not sure if that made any sense, but its pretty easy to do once you have it apart, wont take ya 10 minutes.
g'luck

Paradox is right, it is usually just the spring hinge. Take it apart and if nothing is broken it should work fine when you get the spring back in the right place. If it is broken you can pick up another on ebay (one just went for $9.99) or in the parts section on this forum.
