o by the way its the 1985 rx7 with the 1.1 in it

you can probably change the oil with no prob but as far as doing stuff to it, id leave to the experts.

I just bought the car with very little things wrong with it for 200 the things that are wrong with it is that it leaks break fluid and it idles high when in park but like when in gear its almost like it wants to die out when u hit the gas sometimes. But the body is like great no rust on it at all. The guy said someone told him it would be like 800 to fix the little bet of line leaking and thing the idler cable may need to be adjusted what do u guys think

It wont cost near that much. Unless you do take it to the dealership and they wont know what they are doing most likely. Best bet is to go to www.rx7club.com or www.nopistons.com and do some research and check the FAQ sections.

??? the 12a or 13b.??? im confused. i thought ( with some debate) that the motor was a 1.3 and the 12a being just the carburated version. come on skool me rotor folk???

no way man you have to work on it yourself to learn your car.. it the only way to really learn. plus from what ive experianced with ATLskates turbo II swap in his 91 FC, everything isnt that complicated and there really isnt much to it. Just be patient. and remember....... Check the gas, and change the oil!!! haha

I totally Agree with AZdriftR hell, all the work done on my 89' N/A is done entirely by me, and also I am putting in a new clutch this weekend woot. cant wait to dyno it after that. I am trying to break 150 at the rear wheels right now, totally Naturally asperated, with the engine totally stock. when I rebuild the engine later this year (again doing this myself, but with the help of experienced rotor heads) and am looking to break 200 to the rear wheels.

and on that note, I say once again, DO THE WORK YOUR SELF, and if you dunno what yer doin, go to rx7club and look it up, but don't ask right off the back, you will get scorned for it, trust me I know.
