I just picked up a 1989 T2 from Chicago and need all the help I can get!!

The mechanics on this car are strong and perfect, but the cosmetics are much less than par. I have all the pieces, however, the interior is completely striped and there are about a dozen or so other small scale and low cost project to-dos.

Anyone willing to help me out I'll do that same with yours. I mostly have exp in tuning Microtech EMS but can tune others. My car has an E6K. I cant rebuild engines, but I did change a clutch on my last RX.

*If you have a catalitic converter for sale you are my best friend at the moment*

T2 from Chi-town heelllloooo rust!

 

If you're reinstalling the interior, your best friend is going to be the service manual as it's got pictures of how to do it. Download that here:

You should expect to get some "panel fasteners" and other clips & such from www.jcwhitney.com as those tend to break or get lost. If you need any fasterners (bolts/nuts) www.mazmart.com has a good bin of them you can pull from.

Also - any experience getting the microtec to work with the rx-7s secondary electric oil pump (it's only 3 stages of oil dropplet injection, not that hard).

 

Theres not too much rust just some on the usual areas. The body has 84k miles.

Hey Vaughnc I remember you from about 4 years ago. How bought that? Hey thanks for the service manuals.

Any hints on passing smog?

 

paying someone off, haha

 

Air Pump + ACV Valuve + primary cat will pass with flying colors. If you've got a racing beat or HKS exhaust, you can swap on a Magnaflow catalytic converter inplace of the presilencer.

 

Hey man,
