i have a 87 rx7 NA, i was just wondering what fd parts i could use on my fc?

Are you looking at anything specific? A common upgrade is the alternator.

rx87n.a

really im just lookibg for anything that will hook right up

stickers? Badges? alternator? ooooh oooh you can install the shift ****!!

what are you trying to do anyways? are you randomly trying to put anything from an FD into your FC?? do a litttle more research before you go trying to buy FD parts for your car. THERE IS A REASON WHY THEY ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MODELS you know.


1. is your car running right?

2. do you know what it is SUPPOSED to run like?

3. have you done a tune-up anytime recently? How about the previous owner?

4. do any important parts need to be replaced? ( vaccuum lines, driveshaft{u-joints}, clutch, rear/front differential mounts, intake, intake tube, etc. etc.)

5. are all the electronics up to specs?? (TPS, TIMING, BAC etc. etc.)

6. Is your suspension in decent shape or is it dying?

7. have you compression tested your motor?

8. are there any leaks?

9. Is your electrical system in good shape?

10. Have you done any reliabilty checks and upgrades???



any of those 10 question would have been better than y our original one. As an old RX-7 owner I can tell you that THOSE are the most important things you should ask yourself as a new owner. NOT "what FD parts will fit on my car?"

I have heard that the FD UIM will fit on turbo fc's is this tue?

phoenix7

i believe you have to port-match and the studs are slightly different and must be modified to fit.

/\ /\ true

although, the stationary gears fit and match right up.

Actually, you can't even install an FD shift **** onto an s4, only on to an s5 shifter...

The alt isn't exactly a direct swap. You have to get a pulley that will fit plus you have to change some wiring for an s4.

i remember a little whiles back, someone was selling the rebuild alternators raised the wattage in them..
im seriously in need of one of those revamped alternators.. =(

Front brake calipers.

wheels if you have spacers. front end with a "little" work. seats if you make up new brackets.`you can swap the engine to an FC but the mounts and stuff need to be changed.

calipers need the fd rotors dont they?? and then u have clearance issues so u need to weld up a bracket.....the calipers are pretty much the same anyway so no need!! lol

No, the FD front calipers are interchangeable with the FC 4 pots. Auto parts stores have been know to give FD guys FC calipers without anyone ever knowing the difference (mainly better appearance)

well pheonix......the reason i ask is to learn not hear some monkey boy who thinks he knows everything run his mouth, k?

phoenix7

monkey boy. That's hilarious on so many levels you'll never understand. At least NOW you get the point though. Welcome to the club.

rx87n.a

well whatever........right on for the welcome but since ur so good with fc's, Im havin some trouble with mine, im not that educated with rotary......and like i said im here for help not critisism. help if ya can

rx87n.a

o ya i forgot....ask me questions ill give ya answers. maybe we can diagnose

phoenix7

always expect criticism. Don't always get offended though. WHat's your car doing?

When it comes to my car: I'm just procrastinating with my electronics install and my new injectors install. Nothing too crazy and no real problems.
