hello again i posted not too long ago asking if i could check out someone's 7 to see if how i fit in it. well i thought i wasn't going to be able to get a rx-7 but things are looking different. i found this car and i would like to know what you guys think.
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=752861
i dont know much about this car or rx-7 in general. so far the con's are
1. It's a automatic (not too bad, i can live with that even maybe convert it down the road)
2. the color (isn't really my taste but i can live with it)
3. the location (i live in york county, VA so FL is some distance for a car)
4. the interior (but for the price he is asking i would have enough left over to fix that up)
i want to start this car as a fun weekend or joyride car but i plan on turning it into a project track car down the road right now i'm looking for a rx-7 that's slightly modified, exterior not to bad but no preference there cuz i have my own plans inmind and interior doesn't matter if the asking isn't to high cuz i can just change that. i'm just looking for nicely done motor with nice power for a good price looking to stay under 15,000 but under 10,000 is even better i know i should put this in the wanted section but being that you guys are local i want to ask here first thanks in advance to anyone that can help

For you first RX-7 I would stay away from this one. First off it's an automatic and the conversion process is ridiculous. Second it's in Florida and i'm assuming u will be driving it back. You will also need to do some tests on the car before u try a trip like that. i.e. checking for boost, leaks, over heating problems, and suspension possibly. Just be careful when u buy RX-7's...these cars are sensitive and if not taken care of properly can easily cause you problems. If at all possible, take someone with you that knows a lot about them. That will definitely help in the long run.

but i'm ordering some bushings now, so hopefully they come in soon and i can come over to press them 
By bushings I assume you mean the pillow ball mounts (heim joints) in the rear and there are six of them. Cost about $40 a piece last I remember. RP trailing arms and toe links are nice but not really needed unless you plan to drag race.
The FD uses unit bearings which rarely fail. If you have a little play in the suspension it may just be a pillow ball mounts. I would replace these first.

On a side note, today I should be bolting my driveshaft back on my other FC and then the entire drive train will be on and I can start doing wiring
Anybody got a n370 18-880A ECU for a 91 t2? I figured I'd check here cause It'll give me reason to visit my daughter and hang out with Jerry!
Let me know, need it asap! Thanks, guys!

Hmmm, nothing comes to mind right away, besides wheel rub... It would probably be easier to isolate if you had a second person around to hear it. I'd be happen to help you out.

getting hot/hummid out. Anyone local do a/c system work(ie: refill/recharge). Or can recommend someone who knows what they are doing?
hall mazda told me 258+tax minimum dpending on how much freon i need. I called hall, because I've seen more than a few rx8's there and they seem decent.
