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!!
James

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.

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.
