Welcome to Colorado!
The car will slow down a bit...and I always had to downshift when going up hill or passing, but then my engine was slowly on its way out. Hahaha

 

so are you telling me that you dont have one any more???

have happon to it???

i will be in the colorado springs area... what kind of parts will i ;find down there?

 

well im in the springs area, there is some perfomance shops around, nothing specifically for rx7's but in the junk yards there is a few 7's. there is the occasional 7 in the monthly car impound auction.

 

'monthly car impound auction'? how does one go about finding out about these?

 

this site is the link, it has a car listing too. no pics, no specs, just year and model. they take place every 3rd saturday of a month.

theres a junk yard up here in denver that has 5 rx7's in it.... and theres not many rx7 tuners up here... guessing it's the small amount of rx7's here... think it's cause people are afraid of the snow..lol

 

what junkyard is this? have these cars been parted out already? are they fc's? i hope no fd's would wind up in a junkyard...

 

heck there is a rx7 in that auction!

 

heres the link to the denver police auction if anyone is interested...

00 prelude was best lookin car i say in the list.. but didnt look to hard and didnt see any 7's

yea that was sept. auction, the 7 went for 100 bucks, dunno why so high, the car was pretty jacked up, unless i needed body panels it was worthless, interior stripped, no engine or tranny. WITH rust so you tell me how much one in this condition should go for?

about that junkyard in denver, any of them 2nd gen? im looking for coils and a fuse box to get rid of fuseable links. and could use a s4 jdm.

 

yep all 5 are fc's... most have all their engine components... except one cause I dismantaled and took everything for a monster n/a build for my buddy thats gonna buy my n/a cause I really don't need it anymore... guess how much I got the motor for? 75 bucks! That junk yard is my paradise.

 

wow i am going there as soon as possible... i dont know even what im looking for exactly because my car is in good shape already... but im sure i could find somthin fun (like maybe some new seats to ditch the heavy leather convertible ones...)

 

I am currently selling my 1987 Mazda Rx7 Turbo II, if any one is intersted please emial me at ZeroSkater310@netscape.net, Thanks

Trevor

 

which yard is this? I haven't seen any FCs in a while

thanks

PS: don't worry, I'm concentrating on FBs at the moment, but you're obviously visting a yard i do not know about

 

i have to say... that i am kinda turned off right now...

i would like to keep this car but i need to keep it low cost right now i can do the work... no problem... but there is such a high cost for a new engine... something like a grand for a new motor... something i am not willing to spend... i might be willing to spend about 650... but that would be my limit...

also i was looking to get atleast 25+ mpg... is this possible???

info would be nice before i turn to ebay for the Entire car...

ohhh i picked it up the other day... the battery is dead... a tire is low on air... the intiere is shot ... there is a good about of body scuffes.... nothing that really stands out 5 feet away... but you know...

so now i find out that this thing get's OK gas milage... i was hoping that i would get about 25+ but... along with the cost... i am starting to wonder if it is worth it...

anyone know them?....

they offered a 25g mi engine for about 650... best price that i have found...

sould i trust them? they are about 600 better then the rest....

 

first... the junkyard is off belview and santa fe... second... my n/a gets about 25 mpg with a full rb header/cat less cat/ 2.25" straight through single exhaust and 220k miles on motor running 85 oct.... my t2 has been getting about 17 mpg (think it's cause I love boost.... even when just cruisn I just kinda push it a bit to listen to the turbo) with 105k miles on everything. running 91 oct.
do you have a t2 or an na?

 

what does that mean na or t2...

it's a non turbo if that's what you mean...

 

that's interesting i just got off the phone with a guy that says for 650 he has a turbo he would be willing to sell me except that one roter has Great compression and the other Has none...

and these are inports from japan...

what do you think gives?

 

well the battery is dead... and i mean dead....

well i just tried to start it up using jumper cables... and the thing started to sputter once and a while... but it seemed that it was cranking slow... but it did spark once and a while... i dont know if it was that i needed a battery and it would crank stronger or... well... well will see tommarow when i get a new battery for it....

Very interesting sound... damnit... i can tell that i am starting to fall for this thing... but i dont need it... damn... oohhh well... guess... that i will have to sell off some of my other toys to work on this thing...

 

hmm -- i dont know man... sound like your 7' is on the brink...

 

uhh... n/a means naturally aspirated IE no forced induction.. t2 is short for turbo 2 it's what the turbo rx7's are called.
and shoot for 600 bucks I'd sell my n/a it needs some body work ( has a few dings and is primer) but the engine is strong.. I just use it for gas mileage.. and I'm debating on a 20b project for it.
