Welcome to rotaries. youll learn to love the smell of burning oil, and when you drive your friends cars youll find yourself less than amuzed at a 6000 rpm redline.

Welcome to the club. Engines are pretty easily had. Search the forsale section, contact your local bone yards, or have yours rebuilt. Good luck

tried already.
The POS car is an 86 t2 which now is just a parts car.
That means its just a body with wheels with a whole mess of rx7 shat in it.

Hey bro im really interested not sure about shipping either but sure as hell needing an s5 engine.I tried to put a turbo 2 engine from the other car i purchased.But no luck....
Once everything was connected,[B]The car would not start even thought sounded like it wanted to....***.
Im guessing problems with the seals.Because there was oil in the combustion chamber.
And every time we cranked it, it would just die out because of it.
