i watched them at my house.

the guy that rebuilt my engine before me broke off the bolt hole on the lim for the secondary injector rail. so, basically, i had just one bolt holding the rail on.

does you brother still want the catback? i'd like to sell it soon to help fund my purchase of a rearend for my truck.

well thats kinda y i wanted to know if someone was from around the des moines area becuz i baught the car from a kid to make it my project car (wanted something other than a damn honda). anyway i knew there was problems with it in the begining but i started looking at pics of other rotaries and he completely took the smog system off and there are a lot of wires that go nowhere. the entire wiring harness looks cluster f*cked up. I finally got rid of all of the vacuum leaks and boost leaks tonight so it runs alright but if i could get someone to look it all over and tell me what i need and do't need. i guess any help would be better than me just taking a shot in the dark.

The drivers side door handle broke off when it was really cold out.

Does need some TLC but I am willing to work something out.

I have to systems if anyone is interested that I can add. One retails around $500 and the other retails about $5000-6000+
So where you still selling it? I might try to come up on Saturday if you're avaliable...

I threw a direct wire to the starter from the battery and got it to spin, but it never popped out onto the flywheel. So now the starter's off, and I'm going to test it and dig into it. The interior on the car is crap (read: a lot of it is missing, and what's there is watrlogged - the driver's window is missing), and the exterior is pretty beat up, but it doesn't seem to have very much rust. That and the guy didn't have a key for the car, so I had to take out the ignition cylinder and turn it with a screwdriver.
But I finally have a 7.
Hey I'm looking for one of those ha, since pretty much here is from Iowa, does anyone know of a running and driving rx7 for sale here around here? I'm talking a project, something I can work on and drive - Doesnt have to be pristine condition.

I'm in waterloo.

Well i guess we can start by picking a month. I'd say we shoot for two this year. One spring and one at the end of the summer.

I'd say for the first meet, we shoot for a May date. April rains will have slowed down by then and will be nice weather for shorts and windows down.

Anyone have any conflicts with May?
