Rx7 aftermarket
Hello ive done some research already, but havent found much.I am new to rx7s and rotary motors in general, but Ive been looking into aftermarket for a rx7 since im going to be picking one up soon and cant seem to find any good website that look legitimate. Im mainly looking for suspension parts, and enjukuracing sells some coilovers, and sway bars, and ive found a place that sells a full bushing set, but where could i find tension rods all ends and links and stuff like that? Thank you for any advice anyone has!

Welcome to the world of rotarys. Awesome cars but parts can be hard to come by you really have to look. Most people end up making there own end links and stuff. But mazdatrix is a good site but deals more with stock parts.
|
So, let's see...
You're new to the platform and haven't yet acquired the car but you've already decided the suspension needs to be replaced? Better to spend some time with what you got before randomly throwing aftermarket stuff at it. If your car is typical, I'll bet on day one you can find ten things to do more critical than bushing replacement. |

Yeh I saw mazadatrix and they don't need to be replaced, I'm just saying for the future so when I do want to upgrade to coilovers I know a good place to look.
|
And I've looked for so long and have been reading up on rotary motors. I can't wait.

Before you spend a bunch in suspension I'd focus on reliability mods. just my 2 cents. posts pics when you get your car! |
Haha what's the correct term to call them? And what would be some good things to get to help reliability? And I defiantly will!

I guess you got fooled by searching for rotary motors :lol: |
Welcome! As you will find with most FC chassis on the market, you will be welcomed to your new platform with plenty of reliability mods to sort through first :D I've had three FCs in roughly a three year span, but because of dumb mistakes. It's been fun and i dont intend to stop. I find it increadible what Mazda was able to do to the car and still sell it for 1980's economy $26k. You'll grow to both love and hate our cars. And when I say hate, i mean the thermal operations using engine coolant and the electrical systems.but love partains to everything else

Haha yeh I drove ny first fc3c yesterday and I fell in love with it instantly haha. It had no problems with it, I'm picking it up Thursday probably. And furb I think that was the probably bahaah and yeh I'm defiantly going to order that book soon. Trying to learn as much as possible.
|
Rotary engines are not exactly oldschool small block Chevy or Ford V8's in terms of part availability.
|
haha yeh, ive found some good stuff though, and that reliability page jrexx showed me really helped.

Oh, he has problems, just doesn't know what they are yet.
|
The car seems alright i read the rx7 buyers guide and everything on it was good, he only wants 1200 for it, has no rust and no mechanical problem, i know of or seen.
|
No rust and no mechanical issues, yet only $1200.
So, what is wrong with this car? |
He has like 7 cars and needs more room and since he doestn drive it enough he wants it gone.
