Got me a FC

[fatti03msp]

Well i finally found me a great deal that i just couldnt pass up.

1986 RX-7 5 speed - base model - 66k

The cost - a set of rims and drag radials.

Its a lil rough on the outside but nothing too major and the interior is spotless.

Only need a new fuel pump and ill be cruising around in a 13b

Any help tips would be greatly appreciated.

A few things on the list

Tune Up - Whats all involved? Rotary noob
Exhaust - its rusted and there are no tips going to the bumper
Fuel Pump - Spooledup has that covered
Body work and Paint job - thinking of going with a flat white

and of course more but those are the major things.

Also it has rear seats, from what i have heard its rare.

Is that true?

From what I have heard rear seats were pretty standard in Japan but very rare in the states. Most FCs have storage buckets behind the front seats. Good luck with the new ride!

Nice find and for a great price too.

And yes rear seats for a us car is on the more rare side even though you can't really fit anybody back there.

How is the engine on the car? Any mods done to it?

Congrats and welcome to the Rotary club. I'd suggest taking it to a rotary specialist and getting a compression test to find out the condition of the seals.

No mods at all which is perfect.

i was looking at your headers and some of your front bumpers and front lips

is the header hard? seems pretty easy.

 

[CorkSport]

The header is pretty easy to install. Should take about 1.5 hours.

Hardest parts of the header install are getting the heat sheild off the stock manifold because all the 10mm bolts are always rusted and being your in pa there is a good chance everything else is rusted...other than the rust thing if you can't do an rx7 header put your tools down and walk slowly away.
