New Guy From PA

I recently picked up a 1986 Mazda RX7.

It was recently rebuilt and street ported within the last 5,000 miles!

The car is in absolute fabulous condition!


The only thing wrong with it is the cooling system. The previous owner thought it would have a cleaner look by removing the stock fan and shroud and install and fan on the radiator... Now the car overheats in stop and go...i have garaged it till that gets fixed though. I have already checked the compression and coolant seals and they are good to go!

Anyways here is a quick picture





Im also the proud owner of a 1995 Honda Prelude VTEC

Just an update, the factory fan and shroud is back on the car and its running at perfect operating temperatures! I put some BG 44K in the fuel system. Changing the oil/spark plugs today and most likely gutting the pre cats.
