Wow, great find and progress, too. From BAT mode to running in 6 months. :nod: What did you do about the auto box? Did you find a manual for it. Japanese auto boxes of the day were not very impressive. I had a 71 Corolla with a two speed auto. :wallbash:
Keep the updates coming! :) |
I installed the full 84 gsl drivetrain. I still need to figure out how to hook up the overdrive but ill worry about that after i clean up the car and the mess in my garage..
|

seized
hey everyone just trying to figure something out... i just bought a 1980 rx7 the other day. I love it! anyways, it wont start.. i took the starter out hooked it up to external power and it runs good. pretty sure something seized since the q gear wont budge. I removed the plugs and sprayed deep penetrating lube in the carb and engine. just wondering if ive missed anything to diagnose/treat this alien-built-auto
thanks:nod: |

interesting car . keep it !

Wow that is going to look amazing when complete. Congratulations and please post more pictures.

Lucky to be to you, that is an awesome find! That backyard reminds me of this junkyard that is a few towns over from me. It literally is in the woods and full of extremely old cars including camaros, mustangs, plymouths, oldsmobiles, and most importantly a 1st gen Rx-7. The place is closed down now and tried offering the owner cash and he refuses to sell any of the cars there. I wont give up though, I still have to explore the rest of the yard.
|
did the motor drop right in?
|
Pretty RX2!
We actually had one out at a local meet that was the same color! (and about the same amount of rust lol!) |
