Sup from Central illinois
 

Hi, I am purchasing a 1984 RX-7. I have a few questions about. I will be posting the tech section.

Welcome! I'm originally from Southern Illinois, near Carbondale. Good luck with the FB.

Welcome!

I am from the Chicago suburbs, and went to Illinois State for a couple years!

I am orignally from Joliet illinois, I would love to know where I could find a 12a rotary engine, or at least know if how to tell if mine is rebuildable?

The only way you can tell for sure is to break it down. Does the car you're buying run? If so, you could do a compression test to see how much life it has left and go from there.

cool what do u have planned for your rx7

It runs and fires just fine misses bad when reved up and smokes a lot

A modded 12A wankle, or a turboII 13b

What color smoke? I'd go through the ignition stuff first. Has it been sitting for a while?

It has 110,000 miles, and produces white smoke.

Sounds like it's burning coolant. Have you been checking your coolant before you drive? I check mine every day I drive it but I'm paranoid about it haha.

The car is sitting at the moment and will be at my house next weekend when I can get a trailer aranged to load it up. and bring it up.

Oh that's right, I forgot you haven't bought it yet haha.

Well she is paid for need to get her home in the next day or two and move the bronco out of the garage and make room for her in the garage and start planning for my plans for her.

What part of Central Illinois? I'm in Springfield.

I am in east peoria
