Hey, im planning on buying an 88 RX-7 for 200$ (yes it runs) what should i be looking for when i look at the car and can someone give me an idea of my options for what to do, (websites to buy parts ect...) thanks for your help

 

Well I have to ask why so cheap? Does the car run, but like ****? Does it have some body damage, interior needs works, stuff like that? The reason I ask is because the rotary will run even if one of the rotors has a bad apex seal. You will be able to rev it up normally, but it will have hardly any power in gear and probably not keep an idle. If this is the case it is time for a rebuild. Other than that look for the basic stuff like does it need a clutch, new brakes, tires, transmission. I bought mine (88 se) for 400 with a bad rear rotor and misc. problems. Some good places to check out for parts and performance are Mazdatrix, Racingbeat, rotormotorsports, RX7.com, and VictoriaBritish. I recommend requesting a catalog from Victoria British. Mine arrived 2 days after I requested it over the internet as priority mail! I couldn't believe it, you know how many times I have requested catalogs and received them like 2 months later, if at all. Hey, have fun with your car and welcome to nopistons.com :bigok:

 

get a haynes manual at your local auto parts store or you can download a manual either way get one

 

no the lady just wants to get rid of it, it needs a new bat or alt, and the key is broken off in the ignition, but other than that its good

 

so how did you start it??

 

screwdriver

 

oh nice

 

saw that one coming.....



lol

Hey get some pics... 200 and runs... well there are gonna be probs obviously but I think I would buy it...

 

i would buy it. if you dont want to keep it you could sell the doors alone for 200

 

A car for $200, I would only look for the local tow copany to get it home, even if it doesnt run, you could sell the car as is and make some dollars.
