Best place to find stock parts?

Hi everyone,

Just had a '93 RX7 fall into my lap that I will be listing for sale here shortly. Some of the parts on the car are not original (racing beat stuff) and I may want to return the vehicle to stock preferably with new parts. Is there a preferred vendor or site that you rotary folks use to restore these cars? Open to suggestions on places that sell lightly used goods as well.

Thanks!

So you don’t sound like an enthusiast and intend to just flip a FD. You found this section and the Midwest Regional section without help, so try looking for the CORRECT section to post the car for sale. Be sure to post up history on the car...if you have any. There’s also a 3rd Gen. PARTS FOR SALE section too.
For new parts search “Ray Crowe”. Long time trusted vendor for new OEM.

As is the case with most other people who have a similarly toddler-esque temperament, you're wrong about pretty much everything. Yes, I'm an enthusiast, I am actually helping a friend sell a car and i don't stand to make a dime (quite frankly, neither does he.). We both would much prefer to have a car as it rolled off the factory floor for the sake of driving it and for the sake of finding the right buyer. Thanks for the Ray Crowe name drop, but please grow up.

Since you have a new account/low post count you may not be able to view/post in the classified sections. I think sometimes people forget about this fact.

Ray is a good source for new parts, but many parts are not available new. The parts section on here and ebay are probably your best bet for used parts.

I'd leave the name calling/personal issues out of it, it's not going to do you any favors if you want to list the car on here or use the forum in general.

Wow, “toddler-esque“. Lol, a fitting description of someone who doesn’t follow rules, can’t do simple things for themselves (like search) and posts up the equivalent of a playground pout when called on it... mildly at that.

And of course you’re “selling for a friend” . There’s likely a reason new members have restrictions in the classifieds.
Good luck on the sale...sonny
