Well, why tear the motor down over and over again when you could do it all at once. And it's not THAT bad... if I'm working already with say the turbo, why not go a head and get a down pipe? If I'm already in having to remove the rats nest, why not replace all the vac lines. If I already had to take off the UIM, why not replace it with a ceramics coated one, that sort of thing.

Like I said it is kidna small things but important.

I need to replace my FPD ( I assume )
I also need to replace Clutch Cylinder ( again I assume )!!

Going to try and get the parts from Stokes Mazda in N.Charleston... also going to see how much they will charge to do the work too. Not sure what the going rate per hour is around here but if I have to guess $45

If you want more detail PM me!

kinda back on topic: noticed there is a place called GSC Motor Sports here but not sure the do RX7's from their site the do everything but I shot them an email asking if they do though.

nopi.com => cheap clutch hydraulics

i would stay away from stealerships!! heard too many bad stories about them and rx-7's

GSC is a good shop with good people working for them, but they mostly deal with evos, wrxs, etc.. i dont think they are too familiar with rotaries. But it doesnt hurt to ask them about it, it would be cool if they added RX-7's to their roster of specialties

and stay away from showzone

I would suggest calling Ray Crowe. He's the parts manager at Malloy Mazda and will give you great prices. Just tell him that your from the RX7Club form and that's how you got his number. (888) 533-3400 , (703) 490-8170 , fax: (703) 490-3864

Feel free to compare his prices for parts, you'll find him to be much cheaper then any around on mazda parts.

As far as replacing the FPD and CC, that shouldn't be too difficult to do.
