wow very clean S4 base model,

the question is when it's overheated how far past the middle of the gauge has it gone?

any overheating on these motor is BAD, most likely resulting in a rebuild so do not drive it anymore till you get it fixed.

the amount of work and money it would to make it a targa far outweighs the price of just buying a vert can be used as a targa top.


i

 

i really dont know i went around the block a few times befor i got the car it was getting hot but didnt overheat it overheated for the guy that i got it from and he parked it and got a new car he didnt know anything about car

 

nice car, very clean. are you gonna swap a 5 speed in there? Welcome to the club.

 

thx my friend is going to turbo his vert and give me his old tranny

 

thats a very clean ride! Be sure to read the sticky's and everyone is willing to help around here. if not... F- them!

 

well if the gauge goes more than 3/4 theres potential damage to the motor.

tranny swaps are not that easy, you'd be better off selling the car and buying a manual 7.

the gauge should sit and about 1/5 consistantly. only use maza thermostats thats usually part of the problem.

 

do NOT targa top that thing. more hassle than it's worth.

 

whoa that RX-7 is cleeeeean!

 

very clean mate! try to hit the junk yard for a doner bro.

 

swaping to 5spd is a pain in the butt but its so worth it its hard to explain(done it twince and changed over frm a S4 to S5 5spd recently.
