Sup rotary dudes.

I dont know anything about rotary engines or Mazdas. I bought an RX7 in Texas for 300 dollars because it was all there and looked to need minimal work, but it does have 220k miles on it. I have just started to dive into the project under the hood. I am posting this to keep everyone up to date on my project and to get help when I get stuck. I do have my handy dandy service manual, so that will cover most things, but some help from some rotary experts (you maybe) to simplify things, cause Im a dumbass. I will post a couple pictures now and then, show you what Im doing right and wrong. Also, if any of you have the parts Im looking for, I will gladly take them off your hands to make this car complete.

the way u ahve it setting on the railroad ties looks like it might crush your sidescerts (i cant spell it)

The seams on the bottom are lift points, plus the car is really light, and I have put it up there twice and havent seen any damage aside from a little bit of pain removed, but that doesnt matter, if I can get it going its going to get painted white.


And by the way, it is a N/A manual transmission car. Hopefully it will run today. Hopefully.

how long has it been since its been started? there a things u can do to help insure it will fire up

I know it seems stupid, but I was to cheap to pay for a fuel pump. So I went to a junk yard and pulled a pump from a Lexus ES300, since it produced 41 psi, which would be in the range, maybe. Im going to be testing it in a few minutes here. Also, I got a new starter off of a small mazda car engine and swapped over parts. I like doing things for free or cheap. Anyone have any reccomendations for a cheap exhaust system? Thanks again rotary people.

seems like fun, but as my friend told me when he heard i got a rx7

"The 7, she is hungry, for money...."

change all fluids and if i was you would get the original parts to help check things off that are/arent broke

awesome! i think my car has been setting since 98 or 99, but it only has 111k original miles on it, and only 1 owner (some lady) who babied it until it finally lost all compression, im hoping once i rebuild and change the fluids, it will run decently until i can afford to buy new or good condition used parts. btw it looks nice! keep us posted

the cheapest exhaust would be a old muffler from 1 and the piping is a straight shot almost ( i think 1 bend) to the pass side

Well if u need manual got to the 2gen FAQ and u can find everything from top to bottem
