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!

Where are you located in Ft. Worth, I am in North Richland Hills. I would be glad to help you with an initial evaluation and try to help sort out what the problem may be. I just enjoy working on REX's. I'm no expert by any means. Leave reply or email me at dphelmer@earthlink.net.

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...
