hey everybody, just bought my first rx7. its and 87 GX NA with a blown engine. I plan to rebuild this spring. the paint is mint and the tires and rims are brand new..can't wait to start!!!

 

Good luck with your build. Bring out the credit cards

 

^^ haha. Aint that the truth.

 

thx. that's why it's a spring project. i'm working up north all winter to make some room on the cards!!!

 

mmm btw its a GXL not a GX your L sticker came off

 

theres so much dust on there it looks like its been sitting since 87

 

Nope, probably a GX. Canadian models are GX (base), GXL, Turbo 2.

But yeah, I've never seen an engine bay that dusty before.

 

Good luck on the build, though be wary of any modifications the prev. owner performed...such as the throttlebody mod that seems to have been performed on that NA.

 

the owner told me that he hasn't done any mods to the engine. The engine is from a 86 GX that he also owned. He did the swap about 4 years ago and right after the swap the engine died. The car has been sitting ever since.

 

oh, well that happened on my car so

 

Welcome, enjoy your rotary

 

I finally had some time this month to work on the car after a long winter of work and moving this spring. I now have my own garage and could set it up just the way i like it. Here's what i've got done in the past week.

 

nice keep up the work and give it a mild port before ya throw it back together

definitely have to street port that thing since its already out man! build it up and throw back in there and make sure to keep us posted and whats going on with it

 

haha great pics good luck on the build

 

I had to leave for work right before canada day. I wont be able to work on the car for about a month. I would really like to port it as well. I'd like to remove all the emissions crap and have a clean engine bay. I only got as far as the last picture because i need to remove the flywheel and counterweight and didn't have time to find the tools while at home.

 

finally some progress over the summer...

 

very nice job on that crossmember

 

That's a pretty damn clean stock engine bay.

 

man i cant wait to tak mine apart like you did... good luck on ur build dude.

 

looking great!! keep us updated!
