Real quick, does anyone know of a place where I can pick up a couple of rx7 parts locally?

I *need* 2 more outer coolant seal "square rings" -
I *would like* an s4 TII gasket that goes between the UIM and LIM (has a really cool name like "induction chamber gasket" or "resolution chamber gasket" I don't remember)

None of the local Mazda dealers have it, they said the closest they could get it from was San Antonio. Is there a builder here locally that would sell me these, or a place to pick some up? I was just hoping not to have to order them out of Ontario again. :P

 

Gotham Racing

 

Gotham Racing or Rotary Performance Garland?

 

Just got off the phone with Gotham Racing - they'll only sell as a kit for $175. :P That's pretty steep for 2 square rings ($4.60/ea) and a LIM to UIM gasket ($2.05) - I don't mind paying a little more than that for the convenience of not having to Fed Ex them from Ontario, but not $164 more.

Let me see if I can track down Rotary Performance's number. Thanks!

 

Rotary Performance has the square rings, thanks for the help! I don't know what I'll do about the UIM to LIM gasket. :p I'll probably hold off until I figure out something else I need, because I can wait for that, and it just seems silly to pay freight from Ontario Canada for a $2.05 cent part. Maybe I'll see how much one of those kits of make your own gasket cardboard material from O'Reilly Autoparts is.

 

You could always try Curtis's little parts shop.... he has plenty of gaskets on hand (as I got two 2.5" exhaust gaskets from him not too long ago)
817-521-9512

 

You might try BDC here on the forum, the does a lot of 2nd gen stuff. He's in Arlington/ Grand Prairie area.

 

Well, despite the long *** drive from Lewisville, the people at Rotary Performance were pretty cool, and had the square rings I needed. I checked their prices on a couple of other things too while I was there and they were incredibly reasonable for a local speedshop. Boost gauges at ~$50, A Pillar pod ~$30, and high quality 720cc injectors at ~$120. Chris and Ari were nice to talk to, also, and gave me some pointers on my setup. Guess I know where my business is going when I need a hand.

 

hey, remember me? :>

i got a TII S4 UIM->LIM gasket lying around (bonus: its new)

you can have it

 

Yeah, I remember! Awesome! Are you going to be at the next rx7club meeting, or would you rather meet whenever?

 

the meet is quite a bit of time from now, if ya want it earlier i can meet up whenever

 

Are you ever near the area where we usually have the meet? I don't want to make you go out of your way or anything - I live in Flower Mound, just north of Grapevine, same general area as the meets at Cheddars - just tell me where and when you'll be closest to that and I'll swing over and pick it up from you.

 

i live down macarthur from cheddars in coppell, i'm sure we can meet up whenever

 

dude, we meet up in that area like every other night

 

Sweet - What time this afternoon/evening is good for you?

 

anytime after 3

 

Sure thing, just hook me up with an address and I'll swing by - I left you a pm

 

Damn, you're getting all sorts of parts hookups :P.

 

Actually, considering the parts I've given away to people who needed them, I haven't even quite broke even yet.

 

A couple of other things it dawned on me that I need - does anyone happen to have a spare T2 exhaust manifold they'd part with for a reasonable price? Or a TII Oil Filler 2nd pipe (the one the cap screws onto)?

 

Lemme check my box-o-parts, may have that oil filler neck.

 

That'd be sweet - anyone with a tII exhaust manifold to sell?

 

Any luck on the oil filler neck?

 

Thanks to Jeff, for a shiny new TII UIM/LIM gasket!

Does anyone happen to have an old master cylinder they'd be willing to sell? I got a brand new one, but the reservoir broke when I tried to swap it over. :P

 

kylie doesnt have the part that j00 wanted
