Yes I have posted and looked in the NE for sale section.
Anything brand wise, RB, cusco, and anything suspension.
Price range is depending on what someone has.

 

I'm asking this again cause I didn't get any news about it last time.

so.....I'm going to be putting my new axle in my 83 soon. the axle is from a 82 with 112,000 miles on it..... my question is do i need to tear is apart to make sure all the gears are fine, or just change the fluid out and slap it in? Thanks for the info.

 

I would consider asking this question in a technical forum rather than the NE Regional forum.

If I knew the answer, I would certainly help.

 

hey thanks man, I will do that.

 

Richard Mitchum at Mitchum Enterprises can do rebuilds, but the question is will he do them. Best bet is to google him and call him up. He's a really nice, reasonable guy.

Richard Mitchum is on Research Rd. Right off of Route 60/Midlo Tpk.

There is also Kevin Landers, who you could have the engine shipped to if he is taking orders. www.rotaryresurrection.com

I would love to do another build if I had the time, but the fall semester is about to start.

 

ALEXDIMEN, thanks for the contacts, I will look them up - research road is about 5 minutes from my home here in Midlothian...where in Richmond are you...I would like to find some others that know stuff about rotoriies...thanks again!

 

Starbux Friday night meet
always a couple of rotards there
often you can find Alex, Robin, or myself there

 

Starbux meet thread https://www.rx7club.com/ne-rx-7-forum-30/weekly-richmond-va-friday-night-starbucks-meet-new-location-533164/

 

How are the turnouts for the starbucks meets? I have not been in a very long time and heard from people that not many people show up anymore...

 

you never know, there is almost always the core dozen people that show
since school is back in session it may actually pick up again because
the VCU car club comes down often

 

I'm in living in Randolph now near Maymont. Close to fan VCU area.

On another note, there is a reason your engine died so quickly. The cause may not have been the engine itself, but the boost control system or fuel related to cause such an early failure from pre-ignition or detonation. I would make sure that the problem is diagnosed at the same time as the rebuild.

 

how is everyone doing?? sooo....I am confused that I cannot find a new intake manifold for the nikki carb in my 83?? Does anyone know if they make them and where ever I can get one. I've looked at the RB website and they have them for their holley carb set ups, but I'm trying to stick with the nikki, because I'm going to rebuild it and mod it out for street performance. So If anyone knows anything about this problem I have please let me know, Thanks.

 

whats wrong with the old intake manifold?

 

I was just looking for a new clean one......the one I have is very dirty and caked with debris.



so, is this hole normally looking.....with all the debris caked on there, or is it in bad shape?

 

your best bet would be to ask over in the first gen section, if you haven't already
also to me it looks like with some time, some parts cleaner, and a wire brush it would clean uo just fine
you could also look into porting while your at it
see if Mazdatrix has any thing for 12A Nikki's

 

yes, I did ask over in the first gen section, still waiting on a response. But I thought it would be nice to ask over here since it is a va fourm. The (hole) picture that stuff in like crusted on there, almost looks like it was put on in the factory, cause it goes all the way back into the hole, not like just the top or bottom it is everywhere, and only in those two holes. are you talking about porting the manifold, of the engine housing? thanks for you help.

 

well my leftovers are now posted in the NE for sale section

Wow, I was the last person to post here! The RX7 scene is dying, awe. if anyone is interested I have been back and forth about taking the car apart, trying one last time to sell the whole thing for the cheap...

it's the economy
and several of the big posters in this thread have moved on

 

Yeah, as I try to sell my car haha...

 

I also ran out free time with too many cars.
Which is why i sold my FC a year ago.
The Porsche is worth too much, I need the BMW for a daily/family car (added one more kid to the family this weekend).
And the Miata is a better overall car except in the power department - it's cheaper, more reliable, handles better, it's cheaper, more aftermarket support, it's easier to work on.
The great downside is it's slower.....but it's soooo much more fun to drive.

 

Yeah I am trying to focus my projects down. I have a 914, that has been screaming for my attention for way to long. Between motorcycles, Cars, work and housing projects I struggle to get anything done. Congrats on the addition to the fam! I have yet to go down that path....definitely a big time consumer, big props for keeping up the projects you do!

 

the only thin I've really done with the Miata recently is some spray painting
this is the last pre glitter and clear coat pic I have


glitter and clear process not done yet


I did also make a ghetto offset front plate holder, matches the cars nicely

 

OK I'm seeing several FC's driving around the westend, including a couple of 'Verts, y'all need to start posting in here
