My First RX7
 

Hi Guys,

I've just purchased my 1st RX7!! Its a 1981 model with only 80K original miles at a unbelivable low price!! It runs really well except for a small oil leak that occurs right on top of the engine... I can't really point out the exact spot now coz I have not received the car yet. I will give a update once I get the car this weekend and seek help from you guys.
Just one thing here... does anyone here has access to carfax?? I need to run the car ID for any interesting about its history. It will really be a great help.
Looking forward to be a part of this great family of RX7!!

the 80 has a 5 digit speedometer (+10ths of mile) - thus make sure its not already turned over at least once - otherwise 80K is very low mileage for an 80

Just so you know, that little oil leak (if it is beside the mazda 12a sig on the engine) that makes a little puddle is the engine's dowel pin (holds the engine together) is leaking.
Only way to fix it, is a rebuild.

one of my old 7's was like that and it drove fine except for extra oil consumption, but results may vary.

Good luck.

good luck with the car

1.gen is finest from all rx-7

...good luck, too.

CarFAX Report
 

I work for Carmax in Plano,TX, so if you need a report ran, give me the vin and I will get you a detailed history report, or branded title report. Cool? Email:devilredd@yahoo.com

I still have my 1st, 1st gen.! I bought it my senior year in high school(88') Ok I am an old fart compared to most in this forum. It is an 84'GSL, I paid $7k for it then, it had 64k on it!

You will either love the car or hate it, I obveously loved mine. I have had 3other 1st gens. and 2 turbo 2s. I still have kept my original! I did sell it once but found it for sale on the Parts Trader and bought it back! Here is the new phase my car is going to.:D

My rx7 did the same thing. It got worse and worse untill it started to smoke from underneith. I just put a rebuilt in it. Thats the only way to fix it. Good luck
