Pablo, there are a couple of catalog companies that cater to our 1stgen RX-7's. You can find them all listed on the 1stgen FAQ page or on the thread about aftermarket companies. Of course, another good source would be the classifieds on this board but there's a set of hoops all the New Members have to jump through before they can get access to those boards. This isn't an online catalog company. We want people to join to learn about the cars, hook up with fellow rotorheads in their area and then start picking up parts when they know what they're doing or can get help if they get in trouble. We def do not want people joining just to buy or sell parts.

Read the Sgt Fox sticky thread at the top of this board's index page so you don't get frustrated working your way through the process.

Remember, patience is a virtue.

Mario III

Welcome, how does it feel after six years of waiting, its long time Mate.
Is that cool or is there something disappointing (in the car I mean) ?
