ok one of my relations has a sa a tree had fallin on the rear passanger side
"bad damage" so alot of stuff has mold on it
was quite dark but looks likes theres quite a few things i could use on the fb
im not sure if its a 12a etc still wouldnt mind a parts car for fun

could anyone list parts if it worth it i could maybe part it too for the forum members

they want $500 for the car the engine works i think ill find out this weekend and upload some pics

but there gonna through in some mag wheels there 5 spoke 15"
the spokes taper from center out to the rim like 3 1/2"-2" and have low profile tyres i think they would look good better than stock
has the sa have the same bolt pattern as a 83 fb?

 

Well $500 might be a little high if the car has bad body damge I would like to see pics before I say if thats too much money. Yes the SA have the same bolt pattern as all of the first gen rx7 except the GSL-SE.

But the interior is different like the dash and the door pannels. The most interior is iterchangable but if you have to pick and choose. I would just keep the the front mount oil cooler and radiator and wheels and part out the rest of the car unless you think you can repair the damage.

 

The wheels will work.

That's about it. There are so many differences in the FB cars VS the SA that they should really be considered a different model. Brakes are different, both in design and thread pitch on the lines. Struts are different, rear end is different, steering box is different (though probably interchangeable) need I go on?

 

yep carrie on if it has a 12a iv got a spare motor which i would be very happy with
and the wheels probaly worth 200 ill try get pics up as soon as i can the cars in a very dirty state and is a 20min drive to

also the damage you would have to cut a rear corner out to reapair not worth my time

 

resell it to someone who has an SA.

 

Oil cooler and Rad will swap, Eninge will swap. That is preaty much it.

 

cool deal, just met a new neighbor who drove by my house and asked if i need parts. i said sure ill take a look at what you got. its a SA in poor shape but gonna buy it, he only wants a hundred. thought its a good deal, his stock rims are in better shape than mine and i looked in side and has a bunch of FB parts, like tail lights (fits the FB, not the same as SA) SO, the SA has a front mount oil cooler? can i use that to replace my behive?

 

^^^yes.

 

i dont know any one with one and i only see 3fbs in springfield

the car was for sale for a long time
plus they said they had brought a new engine from mazda about 1 yr after the tree fell and cruched the hatch
fenders not usalble either?
could i use the sa igniton setup on my car? i say this because i got igniter or somthin igniton problems and the car runs way to retarded and yes a timing light was used
isnt it better to have a sa rear iron for a turbo prepped 12a because it is alot stronger for bosst and wont crack?

 

The fenders are different on the 79-80.


the ignition is points so it will not work with your electronic.

 

am i right bout the rear iron from a 12a sa bein stronger than the fb and i more sutiable for boost?

 

blwfly,
I might be intesrested in some parts since I have two of them. If you got an FB, the good stuff like what's stated before is radiator, oil cooler, oil cooler lines, oil filter bracket, some other stuff is interchangeable like window regulators, door handles, etc. and some plastic parts. The FB as far as suspension and the other stuff is better. But you can probably get recover the money you spend on buying it. $500 for a tree fallen SA is pretty steep unless it was full of goodies and still running at this point.

 

Series 1 = Series 2 = Series 3 except for the 85 GSL-SE cause it has FI.

 

dang, you must own every generation of RX. I see you from old school to FD's. Postwhore!!

 

yeah i thought it was steap but the wheels im gettin extra look alright and its hard to find a decent pair for our cars ild guess the wheels would be at least 200 all cleaned up

how would 15" wheels run. rubbing isues? the treads are only like 1 1/2" so should fit no sweat

jerry ill let you know when i get it and pm what you would like we could work somthin out

its family so i can strech payment over long time lol

 

Cool, I get first dibs....If it yellow and black, that will be a BIG plus.

 

ill put some pics up tommoro after i go hunting for bears lol if i ever make it back that is

 

well heres the pics i like these wheels there a little smaller than stock with the low profiles on

i started the car that had been sittin for 2-3yrs instant start
i put oil down the carb and rotated 10 times and cleand the spark plugs and it started instant i was omfg lol

heres a lil horey video

sorry the videos soo white

 

Yeah looks like a tree fell on it...lol.

The engine seems good if you have the money and want to deal with it I would by it . I might be interested in those door panels if there not fadded. If you can talk them under $500 I say go for it.

 

its a family deal so i can take as long as a year to pay off hehe


so pretty much if i just take everything off the motor on the sa then put the motor in my fb with all my fb accessories on like fb:carb,carb manifold,dizzy,altanator it should be a sinch?

 

I would keep the 79' carb & intake on there( unless you have an aftermarket one you want to put on) but I guess everthing should swap over. You also have to use the short 79 radiator to use the front mount oil cooler. But that is all I can think of at the moment. Oh and i am not sure but you might also need to use the 79' starter.

 

my car allready has a front oil cooler mounted under the radiator
is there a difference in the carbs? i have recently rebuilt and cleaned my nikki
do i need to take the engine with the tranny out or can i just take the engine off

 

That poor rex looks pretty sad

I still don't think it's worth $500. I bought an '84 for $500 with 90k miles, put a couple patch panels in and passed PA state insprection.

Kev

 

Go for it. Not worth $500.00. I bought a '84 SE running and driving for $500.00. Rusty but a great parts machine.
