Thumbs up ------Good way to get parts!-------

I just got a victoria british magizine for 79-94 rx7's. I had really forgotten that u can get pretty much everything there is to build a RX7 bottom to top, good for if ur restoring your RX7. Prolly all you rx7 super geeks allready know about em but i just wanted to share with anyone that was aware of them. I like how they have warehouses i differnt states, so it isnt a hassel getting stuff shipped. I just ordered from there 3 n 1 clutch kit and bolt on replacement high flow muffler. was only about $450 with shipping. they have a website www.victoriabritish.com but you need the mag to order parts.. i believe the mags are free. Oh and im also going to order now the automatic door lock kit for em.. anyways hope this helped u out

=) restoring every lil nit pick on my allready mint rx7 is gonna be a simple *** task now

The prices are pretty decent for 2nd gen, but you'd better be ready to sell the farm for 1st gen parts.

If you're talking stock exhaust components, 1/2 the car's value would be a bargain. Mazda wants more than the value of the car just for a stock 1st gen main cat.

yeah, that $900 is nine tenths of what i paid 4 my car. but if thats the part you need and you cant find it anywhere else cheaper then it looks like thats how much ur goin to pay.

This should put the insanity of Mazda's parts pricing policy into perspective:

This afternoon I watched a guy install a new performance muffler onto his '89 Porsche 944 Turbo. The price? $450 U.S. (about $630 Cdn).

The last time I checked a 1st gen RX7 muffler was over $600 Cdn, but that was several years ago. Who knows what it costs now.

That type of coin is understandable for Porsche components and those of other exotics, but Mazda? Gimme a f%@#ing break.

Supposedly Mazda has lowered the prices of their parts across the board, but the dealers aren't passing these savings on to their customers. Dealer greed knows no bounds...
