Just bought my first 2nd hand 3rd gen rx7 here in Canada and im trying to get her back in shape. A big THANKS in advance for all the advice because, Im sure everyone here will be a great help to me and my noob questions.
Always willing to help identify parts - share a pic of your engine bay if you have one. What are your plans for the car? Always best to do reliability mods first - how many km is she at?
yeah, the body kits gotta go, its all cracked and broken up, same with the left fender. Just havent gotten around to ordering anything yet. ive been fixing the little things for now, passenger pwr window switch, replacing driver door actuator, hooking up wires for avcr that was never hooked up, loose cables to some gauges, etc... Rebuilt with no km documentation, so who knows what the kms are. Ive been lurking here for quite a while, and learned a lot here. If you have any suggestions please let me know. I see your from canada, where do you get your parts from? Im guessing online mostly (banzai, rx7store)
so far figured out some simple things,
microtech lt10s (just ordered their usb cable)
supra tt fuel pump (no idea on injector size)
apexi avcr
apexi bov
apexi intake
apexi exhaust with n1 cannon (havent measured the pipes yet, and there is an exhaust leak somewhere i have to find)
tein flex z coil overs
No idea what intercooler that is "PA66-GF"
trying to figure out if its ported or not, old rebuild bill says porting, but not much else description
Plans so far pretty much in this order:
Fix up the body\new body kit, fenders and repaint (maybe hybrid-air lift kit)
relocate battery (try to clean up the engine bay for more room)
cruise control delete (never used it in any car ive ever owned)
air pump delete
pulley kit (Underdrive Eccentric, stock all other) w/ pr idler and new belts (needs new belt now anyways)
vacuum hose replace
rx8 2kw starter upgrade
Koyo Radiator
Samco silicone rad hoses
RE Amemiya aluminum ast
RE Amemiya short shift
a/f gauge /w wideband
see what my intercooler and oil cooler options are once new kit is in (single or dual)
Dont have any big upgrade plans till when it needs to be rebuilt.
Make sure those Apexi intakes are getting cold air from somewhere, looks like the stock box has been used as a duct - which works, just make sure its not blocked or anything.
FYI for parts sources check the thread below I commented on, also look into a shipping outlet if you are near the border - you will save heaps:
Thanks for all your help and input. Seeing that most parts will be made of steel and aluminum, and made in the the usa, I wonder what the new cdn customs surtax will cost on importing automotive goods from the usa?

That's why I suggest setting up an account with a shipping outlet in the USA, then driving over the border to collect them yourself. I never get charged surcharges or duties, just the 5% GST (for you 12% because you know....BC)
