hello im new to the rotary world very excited tho =)

i own a 1987 white rx7 fc N/A approx 170k mi
cons: stripped interior, no AC, no power steering, sloppy gear box.
pros: suspension mod, sterio, no dent or scratch, paint in good condition,
engine seems to be runing smooth, wiper works, moon roof.etc..
i got it for 2300 please tell me i did not get rip off.


here r a list of problem on my car which i could not solve on my own.


1. everything on the cluster gauge works except for the speedometer...
2. interior light dims when i accelerate...
3. i can shift gear without my clutch...???
4. my car doesnt idle like an rotary engine, infact it doesnt idle at all
5. when i shift to 5th gear i can hear a strange noise....
6. my clock is not working.
7. my break light works fine but the backup light does not work...
8. when i turn on the ac i hear air blowing but it not coming out of the vent
and it isnt cold.
9. i have an exhaust leak some where...



please give me as much information as possible on any of these problems
thanks !

Well man sounds not to bad for the price, if your speedo dosen't work that means the odometer probably doesn't work either that means it could have a lot more km's than it say's, for the lights dimming check your battery while its running and see what voltage it is, it should be around 14 volts. You should use your clutch regardless of whether you can shift or not its hard on the tranny.It should idle around 800 rpm if it doesn't its adjusted wrong or you have a vac leak some where, as far as the reverse lights and clock check all your fuses and see if any are bad. the ac is most likely not working and probabley hasn't worked for years either remove al the ac equipment or get it recharged, find out were the exhuast leak is and replace that section of pipe. that covers most of your problems so good luck and if you have any more ask away.
