CA New rotary owner in Northern California

Hello everyone! My name is Ian. I just picked up my first rotary, a 1986 RX7 Sport. Got it in pretty nice condition. Only plans as of now are S5 tail lights and turbo 2 hood

Would S5 taillights fit? Sorry I'm new to this. I think the RX-7 I'm getting is exactly like yours.

Yeah its a mild modification. You have to remove a bit of the sheetmetel from behind where they mount. Not difficult tho

Yo, I just got a red S5 with a turbo hood as well. I'm in Norcal valley too so bound to see you eventually.
How much did you get your tails for?

Tails ARE getting harder to find sometimes I see a set for $50 others go for 150-200. Trying I get lucky an find one at the junk yard too. Found me a set for 120 though.

Still no luck on the hood though.

My coupe is coming together ill post some transformation pics later on this week. Been busy moving.
