Well i'm back.....my father just found an rx-7 that had an engine fire.....i already have a beater and would be having this as a lil project . The guy is asking 4000 for it and i could prolly get it for 3500. I already did some research on here back in the day on engine costs.....but what other hidden costs could prevail?? here are some pics:

 

another:

 

and another:

 

last one

 

on top of the engine, the turbos, alot of little sensors and silinoids,

i did the same thing and it cost me about 5 grand, i didn't get charged for a lot of the little parts, but i also didn't do the labor, so look to spend about that much

 

Not to mention repairs for the hood, fenders and front bumper.

 

looks good How much work are you looking to put into it...if you can save it then great but good luck

 

Any pics of under the hood?

 

I already see a wiring harness that needs to be replaced
Keep in mind, that unless you find a used wiring harness, an entire engine harness is about $900

It will make a good project, though

 

Yeah, with that car, might as well plan on going single turbo and Haltech...all those darn little solenoids and vacuum hoses are going to be a pain. The fenders/hood/bumper...those can be fixed or replaced at least though...

 

yep like jspec said I would only buy it if I was planning on going single turbo with a haltech, that away you don't have to worry about harness, solinoids, etc..

 

This might be worth reading:

( the **** dealer backed out when my dad went in with the cash .....Said he is gonna "Get some scratch together to do the V8 conversion." Not only is that blasphematic....but now i am all mad n **** cuz i gotta settle for my eclipse

 

offer him some more....Its worth it..If you dont...I will...

 

lol.....its in VA in Newport News...dunno the dealer....he is asking 4k for it. However i have 4k and would need to transport it also....so i haven't the dough for it. Go get it man
