Sucks to hear about your 7 man.
.. honestly if you still have the parts I would keep them if you are looking for another 7.. Im in seattle and I know I can find the first gen NON RUNNING for like 300 plus in fair condition... and some run with issues its just finding them... I bought my TII for less than I see on any posing on the site and less than what you paid for you 1st gen 
so its posible.. any how keep it as parts and transfer over the 13b..

Hello
I am new to this forum stuff and I am having a hard time of it. I own a 1986 RX-7 GXL for 22 years now and live in NE Pa. I am the original owner and have had a lot of fun with this car, not in the winter though. My son learned how to drive a standard transmission with this car also. I racked up 184,000 miles on it with not to many problems, only one 4 wheel alignment which was not needed, and the water pump lasted 165,000 miles! I guess that says something for the design of the car
I enjoy flying RC aircraft and you cannot believe how much fits in this car, most of my fellow flyers cant believe what I bring to the flying field!
I just purchaced an 05 RX-8 Shinka which does not have the roon the RX-7 has but I will enjoy it. It took over the garage.
Any tips on new member info?

My fiance and I just bought another RX-7. It is my display picture. It is an 84 GSL-SE. she is the most amazing girl ever. You know you have found a keeper when she will help you buy a car, especially an RX-7.

hi everyone. i am new to the rx7 world. i love the 1st gen rx7 more than all the others. i bought an 84 GSL-SE RX7 and loved it. i was wanting to make it the nicest car ever. i was in the process of fixing it up when i flipped it . this is the most stupid thing i have ever done... i hope it is still ok for me to be on this message board. i live in Tennessee and i am currently looking for another RX7. i would love for it to be the same model as my first one but i will take what i can get. i am a college student and i am limited on money. i bought my last one for 1000 and put another 1000 in it before i flipped it. if you can help me please tell me. i have pictures in the before and after pictures of my car but if you love the RX7 as much as i do then you will not want to see the after pictures...

OUCH!!! Glad to see you are ok. That could have gone very bad. A friend and I flipped a first gen YEARS ago when we jumped it off of a one lane bridge at 90 mph (yes, it was intentional). We flew like the General Lee and when we landed the rear wheels broke off the studs and flew past us. The nose started running up the ditch and hit a huge rock and flipped us sideways twice. Luckily the car landed right side up. My head busted out the passenger side window; I had glass shards embedded in the back of my head and it bled like a ****. I was very lucky because I was wearing my seatbelt. Had I not been wearing it I believe I would have been thrown out of the car.
