Where to find intercooler Rubber Hoses?
Car is a 1987 RX7 satin gold turbo 2. All I need left to get it running, rubber hose that connects to the metal pipe that links to the intercooler. This is the stock intercooler. I've called all parts store in my area they say we dont carry any of the intercooler hoses. Where can i find it at?

ebay is where you can find it cheapest. 39.99-70.00
search "rx7 intercooler hose fc" The "OBX" brand isn't that bad in quality, a few locals have their connectors in high psi dsm's, if they don't blow apart at 26psi, I doubt they'll give you problems at 7.
(don't remember the forum's policy on linking to ebay pages)
Samco makes them for around 100 bucks

IF you have to have the part today, you can go to whatever auto store has the best service around you and ask to look at their radiator hoses in the back. The older muscle cars use some pretty thick stuff. I had the intercooler to throttle body hose split on me at a track, and ended up buying a GATES radiator hose from an old truck. It had the right 90* bend in it but I had to cut it a bit and get it on there with a good T-bolt clamp.
Currently doing an experiment to see how long it lasts, so far 4 months of 12psi and it looks okay.
Hope that helps.

Also you can check the forsale threads on here. While browsing them I came across this guy who seems to have them all
