Dallas RX7 Guru Needed :)
OK, I have lurked the message-board long enough :). Here's the situation:
I purchased a 1990 Turbo RX7 recently and was told that it has a blown engine. I'm getting the car towed to my location this weekend (its in Ft. Worth Right now). The problem/s: A). I know nothing about these car's. So I may need someone to come look at it and tell me what is wrong with it. It supposedly has a blown engine...but there not sure...Hell I don't even know if this engine turns (I will find this out when I get it towed this weekend). B). If it does have a blown engine can someone make a suggestion on what to do? Buy a rebuilt engine...or can someone here in the dallas area do rebuilds other than Rotory Perfomance (already called them and they have a huge waiting list and there expensive as he!!). C). If I end up buying a rebuilt engine is there anyone here in dallas that is willing to help me do a engine swap if I pay them? Sorry if I seem so incompetent....I just really am totally clueless on this RX7 stuff. I got the car for a great price even if the engine is blown and I figured if I put a little bit of money into it will be a nice car and I could learn alot! So if your willing to help me out let me know...I'm new to all this RX7 stuff and I also have another friend that has a 1990 RX7 N/A who is in the same situation as me (well he's a car nut...no's alot about car's...but is new to the whole rotary thing)...so 2 new rx7's in town that need some help!

Your a perfect candidate for Don, as JMO87 said. I don't have his number but ask information for Don Marvel or Marvelspeed in Rowlett. Don knows what he is doing.

Oh, brother.

I can rebuild your engine if you bring me just the short block.......
|
i think he's gone.
|
Shhh, just go back to sleep.
|
wow....ancient thread
|
Very ancient thread. That's from Shane Jordan. I installed a Haltech E11v1 on his car back in January '03. The ECU was bad. The car was terrific! I think Don did his motor and turbo before it showed up at my place sometime in late '02.
I wonder where Shane is now... B |
It's too bad Don Marvel ended up screwing some people on his way out the door. Shady guy.......look up the thread posted up by Wompa for more info.
