New FD owner from NE Tennessee!

Greetings everyone!

I've wanted an rx7 for many years but the price and lack of clean unmolested fd's kept me away. About a week ago a 93 auto fd popped up for sale about 11hrs away in Chicago. 76k miles and pristine - for an unbeatable price. I hopped on it and picked it up this past weekend.

So here I am on rx7club trying to soak up as much as I can. I am searching for all the components needed to complete the 5spd swap. I plan on taking that to task next winter.

Thanks for looking! (I'll post pics of the car once I get some good ones - 93 red, auto, leather, sunroof, wing, r1 lip)

Thanks for the welcome! There is a lot of information here but it seems that like most forums it has slowed down. Something I have always wondered is where do these people go? It seems that forums were thriving and huge several years ago but have now been replaced by something.

As I am new, I am searching for places that sell oem parts as well as aftermarket parts. The vendors section has been a great place to look but mostly contains aftermarket oriented companies. Could someone suggest a great resource for oem parts ? Thanks for all of the help!

Welcome. This forum is the one of the best place to learn about your RX-7. Thank god for his forum. If you search Ray Crowe, he would be able to get you OEM parts. I also purchase a lot from Mazdatrix. The 3rd Gen section has a lot of information and will help answer your questions. Good luck.

I have heard a lot of Ray. I was wondering if he was still available. I will contact hims soon.

I would love to be able to post in the 3rd Gen section but apparently I still dont have permissions. I know its 5 posts for the Sales section and i think it was 3 for others?

Thanks
