you could google it... or check egay

 

I've actually searched for the same thing. I don't know if I trust Ebay kits for this but at one time Samco had silicone radiator hoses for the 2nd gen but they don't seem to be on the Samco site anymore.

You can still find them on a few other sites however...let us know where you get them from!

 

You could use 1.5" aluminum tubing. It may end up costing less than the silicone.

There's a section in there for couplers as well. OH, and you could get them in different colors.

that site doesnt have any rx7 parts and i want them to be an exact fit and also i want to try to get hoses for under the throttle and stuff

 

samco has some for the fc but i cant figure out how to order from there website lol

 

Vote for Samco, and they are better than every other hose. But for radiator hoses for a street car : stick with EPDM rubber hoses. If you want to run silicone you should check your coolant level frequently.

Silicone is great for race cars that see high temps or occasional street use. But, the daily heat cycling of a street car will eventually cause you to lose water/coolant due to the pourous nature of silicone.

Stay away from fleabay as most of the chinese counterfeit "samco" or other hoses are never often molded right and can cause leaks or other problems you don't really want with your coolant system.

 

^Spot on. A lot of guys don't know the cons about these silicone hose on a dd car.

i just need new ones and dont want to go to the dealer so any place where i can get just get a hose kit would be fine but im still lookin for a colored one i think but it doesnt really matter i guess

 

I'm currently running black samco hoses and haven't had any problems with them (other than having to shorten the bottom one a bit and having to tighten them extra tight so they didn't leak)

I got mine from corksport:

or you could just get rubber ones from mazdatrix.com

 

The samco's are amazing, both for radiator and the tmic hoses.

 

pshhh that's what coolant level sensors are for

(very good read though)
