There is an s4 FC 4 bolt at Mike's just outside of Hamilton, most of it was still there including engine and tranny but the way they set it up might make removal difficult.

its in pretty rough shape, interior is shot, body is shot, engine bay is hacked ..... rusty as hell. only things i could salvage were a almost new looking steering wheel horn/glove box lid/shifter surround and a cruise control switch.

Yeah I didn't comb over it too well, mechanical stuff seemed alright. Sorry if anyone was disappointed.

Heck, might just be good to get a general Rx7 junkyard spotting thread going since they're getting rarer to find!

I have a couple spare fbs laying around if you pm me I'll see what I can do

It seems the "wanted to buy" postings on here get responded to very quickly. I have bought parts from all over the world on ebay. It is interesting that the prices have harmonized globally with suppliers in Thailand and Malaysia, for example, adjusting their prices to allow for transport to North America. Yahoo Japan seems to have bargains. You need someone to access for you, or at least take care of the logistics for you in Japan.

I hear ya. I called around in the Vancouver area but didn't get my hopes up. They're probably too old for most wreckers to keep in stock. Now if you want parts from a crashed BMW, no problem getting those!
