been browsing here for a while and I like the community. so heres my story.
I have the chance to buy a 1981 and a 1982 rx7. one is a parts car altogether is $900 CDN. Should I go for it? are all of the parts interchangeable among the years?I am phoneing the guy otmorrow to get more info. will keep you guys updated

 

Sounds like a deal to me if one of them has a strong running engine. And yes both of them are interchangeable. 81-83 both had the same interior style, as far as exterior goes 81-85 parts are interchangeable. There's also quite a few engine parts that are interchangeable from 79-85.

 

what should be thing to watch out for on the running car(what if it has been sitting for a while besides carbon lock?)? im new to this rx7 thing and i want to be as cautious as possible..this is goin to be my 1st car, daily driven and hopefully will last a long time

 

Daily drivers are tough to restore, hombre. Regardless, you got to be able to do eet, an do eet right, de first time, eh hombre. Don't buy it to be cautious, ok. do eet to be cool. Cool like fonzie. do eet to have a car the chicas think its a porsche, ok. Do eet for wankel. He did it for you, hombre

 

WHAT?????

 

^^^^ LOL whats going on!!

 

it makes more sense if you're drinking tequila, eh hombres. jey

 

Looks like cornholio found a new home.

 

the sad thing is that i actually understood him

 

I got flagged for my comment. Sorry. Serious though, If you are unable to decommision your vehicle for more than a day, modifications, upgrades, and repairs to non-cosmetic attributes of said vehicle are all but impossible. Thats all I meant to say. Y'all got no sense of humor.

 

Whatddya mean by "got flagged"?

That was some funny stuff. "Do eet for wankel. He did it for you, hombre" had me rollin'.

me too!

 

me too...but tyler go to the canadian forum and ask if anyone from bc around where u live would be willing to come take a look at the cars with you...someone more experienced with rx7s than yourself

 

I don't know what all the user stuff means does but I clicked there and it said "contribute or get out" on the reputation thingee. I think I lost some of my points. Do I get my liscence revoked or something? Its cool. BUY IT! Come home from school and work on it, keep you out of trouble, and broke.

 

Here's a counter-point for your rep.

Take that, nameless whiner!

 

Is this gonna turn into another 'free rep points' thread?

 

hey are you 16 or 17 or another age. I got a rx-7 in september that was in surrey but got moved to US some how its my first car (iam 16) still havent driven it but i bought it for 500 knowing nothing about them besides rotary engine witch my dad hads to explain just keep lookinf through this forum you learn everything from these guys. You can try the bc rx-7 club and probely even find out by other people there that might know and have looked at those 7s before. but for 900 for both is pretty good as long as one engine runs and another doesnt have alot of rust. behind the seats there are bins that you want to take out when you go and look to see if there is rust on the wheel well
