I've been living behind the search button of this site for years (since middle school) I finally picked up a 91 N/A with 161k on the odometer the interior was terribly mutilated by the previous owner it needs shocks/ the brakes are spongy/ the shifter bushings are gone/ the seat belts don't work/ the sunroof is crooked and cocked up on one side/ and the driveshaft needs to have the front u-joint replaced.... but the engine runs almost flawless it doesn't smoke AT ALL it idles solid at 700rpm and keeps its cool with a good charge sorta creepy for $1000 I drove it 35 miles back to my house without any problems and now ill be trying to bring the car back to life

 

pics or it didnt happen

long time no see you had a lot to do with my fascination with RX7's glad to see you're still active

 

congrats in your find.
long way to go with the restore/project.

at least is running.

 

Post up some pictures!

 

pics before the clean up operation as you can see the interior is horrid

 

The engine is good shape other than being dirty I can see where someone went through the trouble of replacing a lot things of I thinks it been rebuild not to long ago

 

the sunroof is funky acting its safe to say its stuck

 

Looks a little mangy but it just needs some love. My sunroof looks just like that, I think a lifter or something failed as the drivers side wont go up.

 

Swaped a new driveshaft no more clanky noises and vibrations got some shifter bushings on the way from Atkins

 

wow interior is trashed, a little bit of armor all should make it look good :p

 

hahahaha yeah I'm bringing the elbow grease

 

Took apart a new logicon cleaned every button and replaced the light bulbs



finished product

 

you need a restore thread for this car. Post up and let the fun begin.

 

headlight switch

 

Disassembled the din for some clean up

Dirty:








I broke the orange cigarette lighter light lens which is cool the previous owner painted it silver anyway

 

Getting there, good luck with your project.

 

lol...yep, this thread's a little out of place now. Clearly, this legacy "new" member has been around the rotary block a few times!

See you at the meets! I swear I'll make them next year!

 

My friend Andrew was posting under my name for awhile a couple years ago hahaha

 

came across a perfect non cloudy turn signal handle but its broken on the back and, its larger than the one I took off for some reason





I drilled holes in the teeth of a 50 AMP fuse I found laying around





Loctite epoxy set in place with styrofoam then I placed the the metal piece for the bond

 

cleaned up and painted



all together



S4 center console

 

Big difference, it's the little details like these that makes a car outstanding.

 

finally got around to washing it yesterday its starting to look like it actually belongs to somebody now







even cleaned up the engine bay a little bit



but, the interior is turning out to be quite the project

 

looks good keep on loving it
