Hi,this is my second car and I bought it from a friend for 500 bucks, it runs pretty solid, the only problem so far is that the clutch master cylinder needs to be replaced, and 2nd gear grinds if above 3500 rpms









oh, and thats not me in the pictures, its the previous owner

 

could anyone tell me if this was a good deal? im really new to mazdas and cars in general.

 

Any amount of money is a good deal for an RX7 Ha, but really, 500$ and it runs, and drives fine and only has that one problem, ya i would buy it also.

 

thanks

 

good deal, clutch slave cylinder is easy to change out, its on top of the tranny behind the engine upper intake manifold. Its cheap too, find one at the junk yard or order one online. The tranny you can find for anywhere from 300-600 bucks. Its easy to change teh tranny too, just unbolt it from the engine,unbolt the center tranny bracket ,unpluge all teh wires, and cables, and take out the drive shaft and itll slide back out.

500 bucks for arunning car is a super deal.

 

wow, thanks for all the info, where would be a good place to find a tranny though, and do you know any good sites for rx7 parts?

 

Check the 2nd Gen Parts Section on this board. I'm sure you can find the part you need on here.

Other sites that have RX-7 parts, but are expensive because they are new.

Mazdatrix

and of course Ebay

I have experience with purchasing from all four. Never have had a problem with shipping/quality.

 

cool, thanks dude, ya i need to get a whole new center console, bleh

 

ya, i just picked up my car for 500$ just to turn around and do a motor swap. good deal, as far as the tranny is concerned, it sounds like a ground down gear probably from ricer shifting it (not you obviously). good luck man, i have a CRAP load of parts for sale up in norcal, mazdatrix, respeed, and blackdragon auto will keep your parts flowing in if you got the $$$!

peace

 

definitely a good buy! specially the condition that body is in, when the engines goes out ill will definitely be a great body to do a swap on... nice pic up!

 

Is that Arctic Silver?

 

Whats that sensor on the top of the radiator next to where the upper radiator hose connects? There should be a plug there for when you add antifreeze, instead there's a sensor with a red connector? Did the previous owner re route the coolant sensor to there instead? hmm. Its a great car for 500 though. nice find

 

i think its for an aftermarket water temp sensor :: shruggs ::

peace

 

ya, i kinda wanna fix this up for autocross, but this weekend i think im gonna check out some junkyards to kinda bring the interior up a little bit, and ya im not sure what that red sensor is
