good choice ...welcome to the rotary world...

 

the drivetrain problem your describing might be the driveshafts u-joints are done. i had the same problem with the jerking and loud noise.

turns out the front u-joint was only being held on by 1 point and the rear by 2....

you should be able to find a good driveshaft from a junk yard for $50.

the one i found was on an n/a but had a bigger stronger and lighter aluminum one

 

I would say yes you got what you wanted... an rx7. Who cares if you have to do a little work to it to make it run right. It'll just make it that much more fun when you do get to drive it

 

Fix it and keep it!

 

or fix it and sell it! I ended up selling it for 2200 and then bought another 88 GXL 2 days ago for $700. It has 101k miles, was owned by an old lady for 20 years and 2nd owner only had it for a year before the original clutch went out. I even found the original paperwork from the dealer. The second owner did all the mods. It only need a clutch swap (I got one from my friend for $10), and he included 2 free sets of the vert BBS wheels. It also comes w/ a HID projector conversion kit and a 3" stainless exhaust w/ a magnaflow muffler and cat. I'm going to use this as a donor for a locost and w/ the BBS wheels and the low mileage drivetrain it should be perfect!

 

If you're getting the full energy suspension kit, it might be a waste of money as you may not use all of them. Not to say that you wouldnt want to.....but, I got a quote on a full kit installed in my old civic hatch and the labor would have been 2300$
