That's right. I think i just popped my first motor... 85 in 3rd gear just wasn't that smart of me...

Gsl-se
racing beat header/presilencer
ebay cannon muffler
miata intake filter
2nd gear coil
zoom zoom.. boom boom..

the car still runs, but pretty awfully.. acceleration is gone, and it sounds like i have a vacuum leak now with the way if fluxuates at 'idle'...i think a lost an apex seal, gonna try to confirm in the morning.. so anyone possibly interested with trading me a running motor for a blown 13b and 12a ?

 

so... anyone up for trading a running car (almost anything) for my gslse with blown apex seal and another non running 12a? I'm thinking about it pretty hard right now, seeing how i'm broke...

 

that sucks man, theres a 85 with a 13b forsale down the street from me for $500. it runs good. if you want ill do a compression check for you and get you the guys info.

 

It's happened alot this week.

 

I blew my car up tuesday I think. I traded it for a 73 ford F-100 no p/s or p/b. I drove it over to the guys house and it topped out at 45mph. He said if it still drove like that then it must be the carb or somehting not a blown motor. Where in South Carolina are you?

 

hey man ill buy ur header if ur selling it! pm me man!

 

i took the spark plugs out and turned the car over by hand.. front rotor made 3 pretty even 'pffts' but the rear rotor was only getting 2... i put them back in and tried cranking and it won't even crank now... gonna head to the junkyard monday and see what i can find..

i'm in spartanburg btw, about 20 minutes from greenville..

 

so is that a no on the header?

 

I feel your pain. Rotaries scream great...right up till you blow an apex seal. I'm on my 3rd engine in one 7.

 

If you want a beater to have temporaily, Go to the goodwill charity auto auctions. I have bought several rex's there at very low prices. I got my 92 pathfinder that i drive every day for $500, put $120 of stuff like brakes on it, and drove it. My pathfinder was considered an expensive car from there. Its worth checking out.
