Still waiting to hear back from VMP as well.

Yeah I wouldn't call VMP dead yet, just has a gun pointed at its head with the finger on the trigger but it hasn't been pulled yet. I need to get to the GF's house so I can sign up for those events Jon just mentioned - damn firewall here at work and no interweb at the house yet.

I would not say REALLY deep, just do some research and be patient and you can find a good deal!

Does anyone have a spare rear end laying around? I need one of the differential mount studs. One of the three on my TII diff backed out during or before shipping.

OR

Does anyone have any idea how I can get one of these three out? I tried putting two nuts on the stud and tightening them up against each other, then backing it out, but that sucker is in there good.

What up peoples I am dropping my 88 N/A convertible motor would any body mind spending a day helping a kid out. I dont mind putting a lil cash out but I just need to speek to someone with experience. I would love to get my car the way I want it but its hard just reading books and ****. I would appreciate anyone who wants to help. Oh yeah I also read aaron cakes web page. Thanks alot dude it does not seem that hard to do. I will try just to be different. But I would not mind company while working and some extra hands and experience.

Guys, Just wanted to drop a line and intro myself.

I'm Jason and I live in Forrest Hill. Just bought my first RX about 2 wks ago and spent last weekend putting a clutch in it. It's my first RX so I'm slow and inept.

Saw some mention of track days and autoX. To compete in those events is a goal I hope to achieve with this car. It's not much now as it only has a 12A but I figure going fast will come with time.

A few questions:

Where can I find RX-7 parts at U-pull-it Junkyard around here? Is CAP my best bet or are there others where RX's are more plentiful?
Who should I buy parts from around here? Does anyone specialize in rotaries?
Are Honda's really faster than Mazda's? (kidding on that one)

Hope to see you guys around.
-Jason

looks like im selling the bike to get back into the car thing again. im looking to be at the autox down in west point. thats the goal atleast...

this is the planned new whip....



selling the bike, and the guy that owns the s2k is buying my jeep. its got 17k on it and hes selling it to me for $23,000. ive driven it around a total of 2 nights and almost 300 miles.. the car is AMAZING. honda did an incredible job designing that car. it was nice to get back into a sports car again. i got that cheesy *** grin i used to get from autoxing. cant wait

Yay, another first gen owner! As far as junkyards, CAP has a black 81 12A I saw over there, its pretty much complete, but has some rust. My dad was telling me Brooke's auto or some place like that has a junkyard w/ rotaries. My dad also put my stepmoms dead fc out there. What part of Richmond are you in?

grendel_2000

The 12A was missing the engine last time i went by, but everything else seemed to be there...what year FC is it?

Richard Mitchum has about a dozen FB's at his place, he might be willing to sell you some parts.

Drftr_101

any one wanna help yank a motor

skizzle84

Who is Richard Mitchum?

niburu

iTrader: (1)

Rotary mechanic, race car builder, etc....
look up Mitchum Enterprises in the phone book, his shop is just off of research on the South side

skizzle84

Thanks so much, man. I called him and he has several first gem parts cars out back. Do you know if I take the parts off myself with my tools, or what?

xceler8x

Thanks for the info guys! I had no idea that CAP had a parts car there. I'll have to check it out after our "blizzard"

Hey guys , I dont post much here in the Richmond forum , but I thought I would stop in and say hi . I live in the tidewater area and have a shop behind my house , I dont do this full time , but I love to work and rebuild these damn rotories . I also have a small powder coating business and can do the smallest part up to a fairly good size pc . If anyone needs anything or price shopping , please send me a PM.

Thanks

calvin

I'll vouch of VaGambler.

I also have lots of FB parts for anyone looking. I have had the "opportunity" to part out several of them for various reasons. If you need something feel free to ask. I get up to autocrosses in Richmond from time to time and can bring stuff with me if you need anything. UPS is also pretty cheap from Suffolk to the Richmond area. I am about to disassemble another GSLSE, and I still have some stuff leftover from an 86 Sport model that had all the good stuff. I still have a set of the 10th anniversy rims, the rearend and complete rear suspension, the four struts, from subframe, passenger door, passenger side fender, a good solid straight shell, transmission. Lots of odds and ends. Prices are firesale reasonable.

I am not sure about that one, you should definetly ask ahead of time, the man is running a repair/race prep shop not a junkyard.

onepointone

what do you need? i have some stuff off my old first gen. if i have what you need, i will give it to you if you come pick them up.

Just in case anyone here is interested, or knows anyone in the market. Price is negotiable for the local boys!
