Ty's FC restoration/build
I've been living behind the search button of this site for years (since middle school) I finally picked up a 91 N/A with 161k on the odometer the interior was terribly mutilated by the previous owner which I would like to refer to as "The Genius" ... it needs shocks/ the brakes are spongy/ the shifter bushings are gone/ the seat belts don't work/ the sunroof is crooked and cocked up on one side/ and the drive-shaft needs to have the front u-joint replaced.... but the engine runs almost flawless it doesn't smoke AT ALL it idles solid at 700rpm and keeps its cool with a good charge sorta creepy for $1000 I drove it 35 miles back to my house without any problems and now ill be trying to bring the car back to life

working headlight switch:
came across a perfect non cloudy turn signal handle but its broken on the back and, its larger than the one I took off for some reason
I drilled holes in the teeth of a 50 AMP fuse I found laying around
Loctite epoxy set in place with styrofoam then I placed the the metal piece for the bond

hahaha I find something new everyday with this car I'm not surprised by much anymore I found a weird box with antennae cables coming out of it under the carpet on the passenger side yesterday
:Today I'll go behind the gauge cluster shroud and see how hacked the headlight wiring is.

Great buy and great progress on your project so far. The interior might need work but it looks like the engine is untouched.
As for the suspension, another "upgrade" you can do to the S5 RX-7 is swap in the S4 sway bar endlinks. The S4 are metal, while the S5 are plastic.

cool,everything else is pretty much the same though right?
anyway real way to tell if the engine was rebuilt? every vacuum line was replaced with silicone it has two new cats new o2 sensor and fresh plugs
