turbo and sunroofs

How big of a job is it to replace a turbo on a 87 Rx' I have many common tools including the use of a torque wrench amd various pneumatic tools. Is there any particular tools that are need for this job.

What is the common cause of sunroof failure. mine moves up but not back or forward. the motor sounds like it is working on the right side but somthing is wrong with the left. Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated.

sunroof

i hear this is a problem with rx-7 sunroofs, and i have the same issue. all you need do is puch up on the sunroof while pushing the button. basically give it a nudge. if i dont nudge mine the motor will just turn over and the roof wont open. since i can push the button with my thumb and use my fingers to push on the sunroof its not a big deal for me.

i wouldnt even waste my time fixing it. its really not that important. unless you you want your car in pristine showrrom condition and such. then it might give you a nervous breakdown... haha
