You should ask for the $600 difference to be refunded, at least you would be able to use it towards fixing it up

Have to disagree a majority of the time rx7's that normally go to the junk yards are of date and can no longer stay up to code with smog regulations...So owners are forced to either junk there cars and buy new one's...or make them none operational and for track use only...Many of the cars that go to the yards have som high end parts on them, coil over systems, front mount kits, upgraded power adders so on so forth...Japan smog regulations are enforced to the fullest...And when the cars are not legal they can't even be parked on the street...they have to be out of sight out of mind...

I'm sure i heard this ^^ before too.
The engine I got was perfectly working, all over 100psi on all sides
Plus it had an HKS blow off valve and re-amemiya plug wires (too bad they were cut)
Anyways good luck with the engine
