Newbie in Rx7 FC

[kisaku1218]

I am located at Charlotte, NC, but as you all mention, replacement part are hard to find, I got a friend mess with FD and get blown engine by going to far for psi on single turbo, he have tons of experience with FD, but not FC.

As I ask him, only thing he tell me is just make sure eng/tran are good, other thing is easier to fix than replace, only thing that need to be replace is the eng/tran/clutch. Mechanical problem is much more serious and most likely if I pay attention to detail that electrical problem are minimum, and don't go too far on turbo..... :P

more photo for the car







in this area the sport car are not cheap, I am willing to travel as far as to TN to get a working fine sport car...but either people try to rip you off as soon as they know you in military, or they just can't take the offer and try to sell their junk car like gold.

deal are hard to find these days, even economy is this bad....

he mention that he swap eng/tran because blown motor

Really want to trade for a nice clean 240SX, five speed, dont care about a ton of mods just want something 5-speed thats clean and runs good

but basically its a 5-speed, its an 87 but it has a 91 engine/trans/ecu/wiring harness because the old motor went out, its all black interior, its got some nice 17 inch rims, black with chrome lip, wrapped in some falkens with alot of tread left, its got an aftermarket radio, its a nice little car runs good has new fuel pump, fuel filter, cone filter, ecu, starter, new grounds, i think the u-joint is going out but its a $20 fix and i can do it if you want, ive always run mid-grade in it, just got the oil changed at good year

well, this is how i would look at it.
it's a 5 speed. and an S5 engine, desireable somewhat.
it's missing flash to pass lens.. 50 dollars.
needs paint.
needs paint removed from turn signals.
maybe some new seats.
you joint. buy a new part(axle, or driveshaft) 100.


Do make sure you DO A COMPRESSION CHECK.
If is passes

offer him 1200 take 1300. welcome to the club.

if it fails, rebuild, 1000 off, you got a 300-500 dollar running blown.
it up to you to take it or leave it.
