I just bought a 1990 n/a gxl a couple weeks ago, and am just getting into Rx7s. I do not have much experience with cars lol, but am eager to learn.

 

Hello ashli welcome to the rotary madness and hope you enjoy your rex

 

Welcome! I'm sure you'll fall in Love with it quickly!

 

Welcome to the club.

 

Welcome

 

welcome ashli to the community

 

Thanks everyone

 

welcome ashli. good luck with you car. BUILD BUILD BUILD!

 

thanks.

i am in the middle of doing a trannny swap from auto to manual and am almost done with swapping my blue for black interior .

it will be a while before I get a new engine though because the engine in it was just rebuilt so it will be good for a while.

 

wow, sounds like you have things going well. good choice on swapping the auto for a manual lol

 

Schweeet.

 

cool stuff, hows it working? i only know much about 1st gens, since i have one.

 

it;s going good. i am just about done with the interior swap and im waiting on bolts for the pressure plate for my clutch to finish my tranny swap
i don't know much about 1st gens only 2nd gens. lol

 

welcome ashli im new to the rx-7 also i just bought a 1990 GTU and I'm doing miner work to it mainly adding accessories

 

haha thanks. it is soo much better

 

hi.
nice. what are you adding to yours??

 

planning on any power upgrades?

 

eventually yes

i am going to have to rebuild my engine in about 10,000 miles, so n/a is being swapped with a turbo engine lol

 

i thought the one you have was just rebuilt? lol they don't need them that often.

 

YES sorry to barg in but i have a question that im just dying to know,is i true that the 13b motor need to be rebuild every 100000 miles?, because i just bought a 1988 rx7 se 2x2 with 119000 miles and the motor sounds and feels strong still,

 

o yeah and how r u doing with the auto manual trans swap i did that with a celica supra and it took me like 4 weeks

 

check your compression. if it's still good then you're set. the 100k is mostly for the turbo'd engines to prevent apex seal abuse and gouging the housings

 

yes, it was judt rebuilt. however, i know the guy who rebuilt it and he told me that the person he rebuilt it for (the guy i bought the car from) was on a budget and had him use all used parts to rebuild it with so with used apex seal there is probably about 10,000miles left in that engine. So i might not have to rebuld it that soon but i drive alot so within the next year lol

 

it's going alright. My only setback has been waiting on bolts for my pressure plate. I got them yesterday so as soon as I can the manual tranny will be going in. Everything is ready other than that

 

good stuff welcome
