I'm happy to own a rx-7 FD that has had the engine pulled out and completely disassembled... I'm a little more stressed out on my job being so demanding and lack of rx-7 knowledge more than making the commitment to buying this thing... Please shed some info on the best route to take restoring this gas spitter...

 

I don't plan on rebuilding the engine and rather buy a replacement engine. Does anyone know any awesome engine import companies that ship to Hawaii?

 

 

Welcome to the FD life lol I watched a bunch of youtube videos before working on mine really helps out when you havent worked on a rotary. Really research on the forum too its a life saver

 

Welcome to the forum. Invest in a workshop manual. You can actually download it online if you don't want to pay for one. I refer to it often and if I still can't figure it out I turn to the forum for help. Good luck with your project.

 

Thanks haha I'm watching youtube videos of rotary's all the time now haha. This forum is like the holy grail! I'm glad it's easy to join.

 

The fat book in my first pic ontop the fender is the FSM! I've learned from 240's that a FSM is gold. No beating around the bush with Chiltons or Haynes here!
Thanks for dropping a line and wishing me the best of luck with this project!

 

Yea headache for sure... I need to find a engine for it cuz the one I have is missing so much stuff and one rotor housing is scored.. And one rotor has 2 tiny pits on it...

 

Can't wait to see more progress in your build what year is she?

 

He's a 93 with 46k on the chassis. I'm still trying to source a jdm engine.....

 

Looking to go with a 99 possibly engine? I hear the turbos are better.

 

I just missed out on a clean one from ebay with the N3G1 turbos... I got contacted about this shell and curiously looked on ebay and a super clean engine was for sale. I picked up this shell and went on ebay 2 days later to buy the engine, but to my disappointment the engine was sold............ I should have bought it the same night I brought him home......

 

looks like a sweet project
