First Sports car = 89 Mazda RX7 from TN

Pengu · 10-27-2009, 06:03 PM

My name is Brandon, i just purchased the car for 300$ it needs lots of love, but im willing to work with that. I have two manuals and a laptop for instructions on fixing things, the guy i bought the car from said the guy he bought the car from said it smokes alot and ran sluggish. Well i dont know how true that is just yet, because among searching the motor, its missing several sensors and the plenum wasnt actually together, only one bolt was holding it on, and the intake box wasnt plugged in, and nor was the intake actually together. So once i have a battery and a new main relay, im gonna try and start her up and see what happens. Im very excited to have an RX7, and cant wait to meet more enthusiasts vs the punks who just want a sports car.

Welcome to the club!

I don't understand why people seem to always tear their RX7s apart before they sell them.

Just hope that they didn't tear it down to cover bigger problems.

I'm pretty sure that you will like hanging around here, look at some of the buildups - you will be impressed.

You are closer to Knoxville than Nashville, so I can't help you too much. However, Kevin Landers is near you, check out www.rotaryresurrection.com
