Hello!

Hello all, Just wanted to introduce myself and to say that rotary rocks!

I just bought my 3rd rx7 2 months ago. My first one was a 1981, the second an 85gs and now 20 some odd years later I became the owner of a mint 1979, and it's even my favorite color blue!

It's like being a kid all over again.

I am however finding myself in a jam as far as finding oil hose lines coming out of the oil pump and up to the carburator. I believe the lines are 5/32 or 4mm and yet I can't find any. Can any body help a newby get his car back out there to enjoy the summer roads???

peace to all,

Spoon

Hey Banzaitoyota, thanks for responding to my post. I just wanted to follow up and let anyone else know who might need the oil metering lines, as I did, that Mazdatrix no longer carries them. They suggested I use a vaccuum line and just replace it after a few years before it rots from the oil. I did however find the lines at Atkinsrotary.com. The price was not bad, but come on shipping .25 lbs for $17.00 was a bit much. Still, I should be back on the road soon!

Thanks again

Love it! You guys know what you're doing, and I'm so glad to be able to have a source where I can come and ask questions from people who care, and people who know! Rotary Rocks indeed!

I wonder if you could use the stainless steel braided lines you can get for an FD. I'd go with that over anything if you can use them.
