Like the title says, Ive just joined the rx7 world. I defected from the nissan community, not because I didnt like them or anything, I guess it just wasnt my style. I've always an FC so the moment the chance came I traded my s13 for it. This one does have a couple problems but I'm willing to put in the wrench time.

Once you are able, check the 2nd Gen Classifieds section and you'll see bumpers for sale constantly.

I hope you're seafoaming the engine in that picture and its not oil or coolant creating the smoke.

I have been using EBay to get parts and sometimes the dealerships surpisingly have things.

Also why is your car smoking so much in that one picture? That only happened in my '88 after a bad flood and I finally got her going again.

nope not seafoam unfortunately..:( It only happens when its extremely cold out and its been sitting all night. My buddy says its a faulting coolant temp sensor and its pumping out a heavy mixture of air/fuel. Makes sense but im new to rotary's so any ideas of what you think it could be?

O and also theres a plug that leaks coolant every once in a while... kinda looks like this
