NC Introduction

My name is Steve. I just overhauled an engine in a '93 RX7 for a friend. He bought the car with a seized engine. Had fun, the engine is back in and running. What a great sound when it first fired up!

I have some questions but I guess I need to post thrice before asking them.

Welcome to the forum! I live in Raleigh so you know at least a few more FD's are almost local...Did you guys rebuild the engine yourself or send it out?

I did it for my friend. The short block was easier than the long. Mainly because of all the vacuum lines. I replaced them with silicone lines. Not done yet. Needs a TPS (ordered) and I have an EGR solenoid code I need to track down. Then comes th bodywork.

Good to know there are a few more around. After I'm done with my friend's I might look for a 2nd gen.
