So not new to car scene, but new to rotary engine. Back ground always had Hondas back in the mid 90's when the import scene was starting.. drag racing, engine swaps etc etc.. then got into Toyota and Nissans.. This will be my first Mazda 94 rx7 base model.. Always stayed away from Mazda rotary engines because of the reliability but always liked the shape of the FDs.. So I pulled the trigger on getting one.. Anyways looking forward to this group and learn the ins and outs of what to look for and how to care for it.. Car already have a few engine mods and seems drives fine, but with known issues such as inop gauge clusters and door handle which will be my main focus. Done a few searches prior to joining the club. so hoping to seek more knowledge..

 

Hi,
Welcome to the forum. Where about in NC are you located if you dont mind me asking?

 

Im from Greensboro but in charlotte and raleigh every now and then

 

Welcome!! There's a wealth of info here and we're always happy to help out a fellow member get his car all fixed up. An pictures to share of your FD?

 

I'm just a little north of Greensboro, so if you're ever riding around the Friendly shopping center or over on 73 and see a MB FD it could be me. Stop in a say hi in the South East region of the Forum if you haven't, oh and start preparing your car for Deals Gap Rotary Rally(DGRR) since you only have around 9-10 months before here again.

 

still have to replace a few things but hopefully i can source the broken items lol

 

Shes alittle rough but hopefully the broken items are easily sourced ...

 

Quite a beautiful car! Doesnt look that rough to me!

 

thanks, rough as in some minor interior issues gauge cluster/door handle, front bumper need adjustments and weird noise when going in reverse other wise body wise its in good condition

 

What fun would it be if it didn't need anything? These cars are mostly enjoyable to work on and in a way therapeutic. Is the interior tan and black?

 

this is true.. every car I ever owned 12+ in the 23yrs I been driving has always been to modify lol whether it be new or used.. I would probably be pretty bored if it wasn't for this hobby... to answer your question its full black interior..


the drug addiction...

 

That's one killer looking NSX! Is that another car you own and built?

 

Thankyou .. Yes it use to be black and close to stock.. it is now boosted with still stock engine.. appearence wise has changed a few times over the yrs lol .. hopefully ill leave this rx7 body stock 😅

 

Welcome! That's a very nice car you have there, and nice to see the another North Carolinian on the forum. I'm from Wilmington, but I'm in NM working now. I hope to make it back sometime by the end of the year. Good luck with the car!

 

So i figure why not take it apart to see what the deal is with this cluster.. found these groupings bleadout and some corrosion 😩 .. seems like its concentrated in this little area .. my electronic skills are next to nothing .. wonder if its best to just go with speedhut gauges then attempting to repair these

another note, can anyone tell me if all the guages are independent from one another?

 

I would suggest making a post in the 3rd gen tech section I'm reference to the capacitor bleed out and if the gauges are independent. You'll likely get a more thorough response there.
