Well I bought a near perfect base 85 to put another engine in because I was told the engine was bad. I decided to check it out before I pulled the engine and come to find out it has real good compression but no clutch pressure. I stripped the rats nest and am putting on an rb manifold and edelbrock carb. Also, a new clutch master and slave. For 450 I got a near perfect car no rust and great interior, not bad.

 

That is a sweet deal on someones ignorance that you got a good rx-7. dan

 

got this one for $450 as well.







had to do an auto 2 manual swap, get fuel injectors balanced, new manifold gaskets and front brake pads

Car has like new compression, I honestly think the motor was rebuilt before I got it, I will know when I port it.

 

Sucks that you pulled the motor before you checked compression.

Nice finds!!

 

I wish I could find those kind of deals around here.

 

I never pulled the motor, I just like to port my motors and the GTU will be under the knife sooner or later

 

BTW heres an even better one,

which reminds me that I forgot to put the write up on how to disable the fuel cut relay on my site.

anyway, I bought this one for $300 as a donor, maybe it was $350
Engine wouldnt start, I tried a couple times and noticed 2 things

1 when I tapped the gas it would sound worse when turning over
2 no loud *** fuel pump

so I told the guy I would be back to pick it up and when I got there I paid him, hopped under the dash, cut one wire without taking off any panels, took about 1 maybe 2 minutes, cranked for a couple minutes, fired up and drove it home

 

woops, double post,

BTW the se suspension did not come on the car, and it is not an se

its a fully loaded "power steering and all" GSL

 

LOL i wonder what the guy was thinking! Did he say anything after you made him look like an idiot?

Yeah, That guy must feel pretty bad. BTW what wire did you cut?

 

looked kinda disapointed, but throughout the whole deal he had that shitty grin on his face like he had one up on me.

he didnt say anything, he just ent back inside the shop where i picked it up at

 

I will probably start on the write up today

check my link in my sig, it will be in the articles section
