hi everyone my name is Jason... i recently picked up a 1st gen rx7. its an 84 and to be quite honest with you, i dont know anything about rotaries or carburetors... so im gonna be in for alot of learning. i got the car for 75 bucks... only because it does not run. it will try to turn over and sometimes it will run for like 3 seconds and then it cutts back off. but, the guy told me that it needs a new slave cylinder, a pcv valve (the oil is milky and when i take the dipstick out it just starts to pour out of the hole, he siad it just needs a new pcv valve and that will fix that problem, but idk if hes right or not), and all of the vacuum lines are mixed up or not even on. its got the 12a motor. and it is a five speed. any help??

 

Well if the oil is milky usually means blown headgasket, I say get a swap and start off from scratch like I did with my mr2.

 

milky oil can be bad. It could be a problem. Rotaries don't have head gaskets, so you know that you don't have a blown head gasket. Considering the motor probably needs to be rebuilt anyway I would just get a new one. You only spent $75 on the car, so you might as well spend some money and get a new powertrain.

 

hi welcome to the 7 club just get a new one and you will be on the right track

 

wow, 75 dollars, now that's a deal. Did you know the seller or something? Or is the body just in really bad shape?

 

well i traded him some parts for it for a civic. im really into the honda game and i trade alot of parts. so i traded him about 400$ worth of parts that were taking up space in my shed so yeah i only paid 75 bucks but technically its more around 475$ you know what im saying?? im thinking about just parting it out... i dont have the time and i just ran into some problems with my daily driver so i need money like right now....

 

and no the body isnt in bad shape... it needs paint and theres a couple of rust spots but its not bad... its not bad at all, just needs a motor...

 

wow! $75 good find jason, and gl with the car! that's the best deal i've heard yet.
