Hey all, lets start this off by saying 2 things. Im a canadian, and a n00b.

I just bought a 87 RX-7 Turbo II for 600 cash. It has 220,000 kms, (150,000ish miles) and it runs great. The only things wrong are that it is missing the little fog light, and has a small dent in the front bumper.

First off, I was wondering if this was a good deal? Second off, I was wondering what is the first thing I should do to it?

Thanks for the input!

 

Thats a steal, you got lucky. First thing you should do is a full tune up, plugs, wires, oil and oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, etc. and it will run even better.

 

Congrats, ^^ Do what he suggest. A full tune up will help the motor out.

 

Okay cool, and also is there a good place where I can buy RX7 parts from? Like a website or somethin?

 

Rx7store.net, mazdatrix.com, racingbeat.com, pineappleracing.com, rx7.com, rotorsportracing.com, and I'm sure there are more I've forgotten. Good find though I'm looking for something similair myself

 

Your local autoparts stores will or should have the parts for a basic tune-up....start there first

 

^ You can go to the local part store, but use NONE OTHER THAN NGK PLUGS.

A while back I picked up a 1987 Turbo II, Grey interior and a nice black exterior for $250.

 

You dont happen to be a Winnipegger do you?

 

As a matter of fact I am!

 

Damn, $600!
You STOLE that thing...

Post up some pics.

 

Congrats sir!!!

are u looking to mod it pretty heavily or keep it near stock
DEF post some pics!!

 

Im thinkin nothin too too crazy.
Cat back, maybe new intercooler, i dont know too much about rotary engines haha, this will be quite the adventure.

 

Oh and it is. Before you put any money into it, see how your compression is. Didn't get mine tested until I got a side seal stuck and it was slightly over half of new specs.

 

Wow great steal! I got my 87 turboII for $600 also! ...blown

 

gotta see some pics

 

Damn you lol! I wanted to get this car to swap the turbo into my car. I seen it on Kijiji, what needs to be done to get that thing safetied?

 

Also make sure they don't give you all BUR9EQ's. I went to Napa this week and told him what I needed 2 BUR9EQ's and 2BUR7EQ's and the guy had to look it up still then he brought back 6 BUR9EQ's and said that thing is a 6 cylinder right. LOL I had to show him the "L" and the "T" on the plugs and explain that I had no cylinders. Parts guys are stupid sometimes. So make sure you know exactly what you need before they give you the wrong stuff.

 

just out of curiosity where did you go to find one that cheap? Like a newspaper or craigslist or something?

 

I use a website, www.kijiji.ca (.com for US). Its a free online classifieds thing, you just pick your city and you can find some sick deals.
