christaylor 04-17-05 10:36 PM

That's not a bad looking car, I think I've easily got 12 worse scattered around here! :eek:

Yark79 04-17-05 10:40 PM

You sure thats an -SE? Those wheels look like the '79 or '80 special edition wheels and they would be 4x110. I know its not an SA, but it looks like it has the SA wheels.

7addict 04-17-05 10:50 PM

Good eyes, I see special edition wheels too? It must be a GSL. Do you have the fuel injected 13b under the hood ? If not it's not a GSL-SE. Either way though enjoy and we look forward to helping you.

flamin-roids 04-18-05 01:05 AM

Exactly. The SA (or any non GSL-SE) wheels won't even fit on a GSL-SE.

Elysian 04-18-05 01:09 AM

those don't look like any mazda rims i've ever seen...

rxseven07 04-18-05 01:29 AM

did se's come with non leather?

Rotor13B 04-18-05 04:04 AM

lol, no replies from o.p.? In his/her defense, those wheels look like something off of a subaru

Im in Round Rock, You in texas?

1985_RX-7 04-18-05 12:09 PM

LOL. Weeeell... Im pretty sure it is a gsl/se, but i could be wrong. There was only the front mazda emblem and the side rx7 emblems. The owner told my dad that it was a gsl/se, but that guy could be a nub... he did sell it in such great shape for "1,000 obo" but my dad has skillz and got it for 800. Personally i think it is a good birthday present.

1985_RX-7 04-18-05 12:11 PM

Oh and i will get good day time pikies!

fishbulb95 04-18-05 12:15 PM

:bigthumb: that's a sweet ride, i'm still trying to get my 7, but i need a job first....

1985_RX-7 04-18-05 12:21 PM

I need som instrutions... Both me and my dad are new to Rotary motors. And we got a carb kit and are really not sure where to start. Could somebody help?!?!?!?

christaylor 04-18-05 02:26 PM

Well, if the car has a carb, it's not an -SE.

If you're having trouble locating the carb, there's a good reason for it....

Those do look like the 79 LE wheels.

A bit odd to find them on a car like that.

Show us a pic of the tail lights. Maybe it is a 79 but the front end has been updated?

well i guess it is not an se... oh well, main thing is it is a rotary!

Yark79 04-18-05 11:45 PM

Yeah, -SE or not, for $800, it looks like a damn good buy. Enjoy.

jays83gsl 04-19-05 12:03 AM

As for the carb rebuild, GET A HAYNES REPAIR MANUAL.

It's your best friend, and gives a good explanation of LOTS of things that you'll need to do. Actually, damn near everything.

Hit me up with carb questions on AIM at anytime. (barryclipsnbravo). I'm no Rx7Carl, but I know a good amount of stuff that could go wrong with it.

Where in Texas is you? North? South? East? West? About how far from El Paso?

mcnannay 04-19-05 12:46 AM

cool ride dude, your lucky to get that for your first ride, thats a great birthday present

tell your dad he rocks, and tell him we know that its only a matter of time before he has one of his own too!

krazy_1st_gen 04-19-05 06:05 AM

dat ain't no SA. its a FB. tell by the bumpers. as for them rims, i have no clue wut car they came from. 800 not a bad deal. i paid 750 for my 84 SE.

1985_RX-7 04-19-05 09:20 AM

Thanks. Will post some pics soon. Just put the rear shocks in, what a pain my dad practically shattered his elbow breaking the bottom bolt loose. And i doubt he will have a 7 soon. He is in love with 2004 Pontic Gran Prix GTP/Compition Group. I love superchargers.
