Just picked up another RX7 last night. Its a 1991 NA. Ad said the car had overheating problems but from what my colleague and I can tell its just air in the coolant system and possibly the Stant thermostat he has installed. The idle jumps around a bit too but other than that the car was too good to pass up for $1800. I will try to post some pics by the end of the week,

So it turns out the radiator cap was just leaking air into the coolant system. Now the heater, thermostat, electric fan, and miraculously the idle problem have all been fixed with a $5 radiator cap and a $10 bottle of coolant. Here are some pics of the car.

Is the only thing I need for a Turbo II swap (using the N/A Tranny and rear end) basically the Turbo II pressure plate/clutch and ECU?
