Hello :d

Hello , im new to this site and hope to learn alot .
I just bought a Mazda 1982 RX7 12A One owner for 580$ !

83000 m

has been sitting for nearly 10 years owner passed away

No exterior damage whatsoever besides sun paint damage

interior damaged by sun

Q1 Where can i find a good website that sells rx7 interior parts?
dash pad, door panels, seats etc.

radio didnt work so riped it out and installed stereo system
engine runs awsome and just needs a complete fluids change

the only bad thing is it was last registered in 1998

Q2 How much will this car run me in dmv fees, i know it has a clean title and one owner





Q3 I most likely will need a smog check and theres absolutely not smoke comming out from exhaust pipe.
if i were to fail the smog check how mush would it cost to fix?


THANK YOU!

Q1 ah. There isn't many places besides junkyards, ebay and the dealer if they even have what you looking for anymore.

Q2 Who knows ask the DMV they will tell you.

Q3 Once again who knows since it could fail for a million different reasons. It sounds like you have a great start it may pass as is. I got stuff left from my 12A that I passed smog with in CA if you need something pm me I might have it. If your not much of a mechanic find someone that is because there aren't a lot of shops that will touch your car. You'll more than likely have to read on the forums and read the fsm to get your answers then go outside and do it yourself. Good luck and welcome to the forums.
