Hey

Hey guys just wanted to pick your brains on an issue I am having. I have a 94 Rx7 with no power steering or ac. The motor has a over 160,000 miles and still has the stock twins with a few upgrades. My mechanic has also told me the car has low compression. Car runs, but runs rich and idles but turns off. Transmission also is alittle messed up, gears grind while shifting. Now I am stuck with making the decision on do I keep investing money into this engine, or should i buy another 13b engine and 5 speed transmission with less miles, power steering and AC? Also would like to know if I do swap the engine, where should I look to find the best deals? What is a good price for both the engine and transmission? Let me know what you guys would do. Thanks

Talk to Kevin at RotaryResurrection about a rebuild: http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/

Send a PM to "Japan2LA" about a transmission here on the forum.
