Just got a new car!
Hey today my dad surprised me and bought me a 89 RX-7! It looks sooooooo much better than my 88! Hmmmm spoiler, round tailights...
I'll post pics tomorrow cause it's too dark right now :) Anyway the car doesn't run really well. It has a jumping idle and accelerate pretty bad. I think my 88 is faster than it! :O Like when I stomp on the gas, the RPM raises but the car doesn't accelerate. Oh and I have to take out my foot from the clutch all the way before the car starts to move. I think that's cause the clutch needs to be replaced, is that right? Also, the exterior is pretty bad. I wondered if I could take pieces from my 88 and put them in the car? Can these be swapped? -FTP lenses -Sunroof -Turn signal thingies -Plastic part of the idiot lights -Headlights motors -Hatch Thanks! |
you can swap everything on your list but the front turn signals.
Clutch sounds worn out on the new one. Depending on the model you 88 may be slightly faster. |
1. Your clutch is WAY gone, definately gonna need a new one.
2. Sunroof - Yes 3. Turn signal thingies? I think you mean the lenses? if so - yes 4. As far as I know the plastic cover for the idiot lights isn't a problem but the idiot lights themselves are different between the S4 and S5 cars. 5. Headlight motors- Yes I did this to mine, they have slightly differnt connections but it can be done. and last but not least 6. Hatch - Yes |
Thanks! I hope I'll be able to beat my friend's RSX with it!

Originally posted by DCmina Thanks! I hope I'll be able to beat my friend's RSX with it! I didn't think much of them until my first track day in the WRX. A RSX Type S, a MKIV Supra, and my WRX were all running dead even around the track. The RSX really surprised me. Enjoy! |
what about the wipers?
|
I was under the impression that the idiot light surround wasn't universal. Series 4 it bends forward, Series 5 it bends back. Hell.... I could be wrong
|
On S5 they do bend back :( didn't check my S4 yet though, so there's still hope!
|
Yeah, I was right.

S4 faces the passenger, on S5 they thought about us LHD guys and made a version to face the driver on LHD
