Hey guys, been on here a coupla days, figured I'd say hi. I just bought an 87 TII 5-spd, it's a silvery blue color (Arctic Silver?) w/ blue interior. The car is in nice shape, only body damage is to the front bumper, lower right corner of it is broke.

It doesn't run at the moment, though I don't think I'll have too much trouble getting it running. If I can't get it running, I'll pull it out and rebuild it, need to learn the inside of a rotary anyway.

welcome aboard!

 

Cool, enjoy. Did you do a compression test? I would if I were you. Very nice car. Been looking for a red S5 myself but settled for a S4.

 

I also looked for a s5 but was only able to afford the s4 that I currently have. O and my s4 is on my avatar.

 

nice looking car! i wish you the best of luck. once the car's running you'll be in rotary heaven!

 

*Does best Darth Vader impression*Welcome......to the dark side....

 

As good as that car looks, how come it dosent run?? just curious

 

^^Cause the guy who had it didn't know anything about working on cars. For instance, he said the 2 days he drove it it wouldn't idle. Well, looked at it the other day, found the IAC motor was unplugged lol.

Right now the clutch interlock switch is bad I think, when I turn the key it doesn't do anything except click under the dash. Once I bypass that, I'm gonna try and pull the plugs and put a little trans fluid or Marvel in the chambers and see if I can't get it fired up.

Thanks for the warm welcome, I'll be pestering y'all w/ tech questions before long

 

BTW I forgot to mention that I got it for $400. Think it was a good deal?

 

yeah, not a bad deal for 400. I personally would say, rather then trying to get it to run with bandaid fixes (ATF fluid and other stuff), just do a straight up rebuild. Remove the emissions crap, port the sucker, redo your fuel stuff to eliminate the stock PD. I took the long way to do things, and well it ended up that i spent more, if i had done the rebuild right off the bat, it woulda been cheaper overall. But to each his own! Good luck with teh car, and congrads again! and just a note of advice, before you post other questions (since your new) search, search and when your done, search again, then post or you gonna get eaten alive!

 

Sapphire Blue is your color.

I have Arctic Silver.
