For your information my car is a 1985 Rx-7 with the 12a engine

Ok, the seller of the car didnt tell me this when I bought it, but after driving it around the first night I noticed something funny about my gas guage... if I lay into the throttle a bit the gas guage dips way down, but if I go around corners and brake hard it goes way up, now I know this is fuel sloshing around causing this to happen, but my question is this...

Where is the fuel level monitor/guage located? on the fuel pump? I need to know what to replace to get it fixed.

Also.... I was driving down the highway when randomly I heard a clunking noise then the sound of something being dragged on the ground, I was right near my exit so I pulled off got into a parking lot and looked under the car, there was a pipe that looked just like a sway bar hanging down, so I pulled on it, it came off fairly easy, and now its sitting in my garage. I looked at it and its a hollow pipe with some rubber tubing on the end of it, part of my emissions somehow I believe, because when the car sits still for a bit I can smell exhaust gases coming from under the car. It hasnt effected the performance of the car at all but I would like to get it fixed, possible welded back into place, anyone have any idea what it is?

Lastly... My arm rest console hinge is broken =( the little plastic piece just busted right at the seam, anyone have any similar experience with this console cover? What I can use as a temporary fix until I can either order a new one or rifle through a junkyard for one?

Thank you in advance

It's located inside the gas tank. You can get to it by removing the plastic shield behind the l
eft rear wheel.

Probably your fresh-air pipe for your catalitic converter. Without fresh air your cat will die
a slow death.

If you can find one in the junkyard.... great! Mazdatrix has a very limited selection of them new if you can't

with the armrest you can fix it by using small door hinges.. done right it looks almost like its supposed to be there... otherwise go and attack a wreckers

I have never seen bin lids with the original platic hinges intact, except on Manntis's old car. I would just get some piano hinges and screw them on, because your chances of finding intact bins are very slim.

 

i fixed my arm rest bin by using a pair of hinges i picked up at Home Depot.....theyr'e pretty cheap and it looks perfect when the lid is closed....when the lid is open the only difference u notice is the shiny brass/copper hinge.....which i will paint to black soon when i redo my interior

 

I have them intact on my 85 GSL!

 

yea the hinges on on both my cars are intact.
