Re: Saving My 81 RX7
Out of curiosity, how readily available are parts like rear caliper, nikki carbs, head light lift mechanism and the engine bay rubbers?

Re: JUST JOINED
Hi John Welcome! I am from East London South Africa! Sounds like you have the same motor as I do. I have also found endless flooding issues, especially when the car hs been standing a while. I have found a tap on the top of the needle inlets with the back of a screw driver normally solves the proble...

Re: Saving My 81 RX7
Thanks for all the messages! Really hope to get another 1st Gen in the not too distant future!
Hopefully there will still be a few good ones around when that time comes.... Even if it means having to import one to South Africa....

Re: Saving My 81 RX7
Thanks Ian. My wife and I have already decided that we will someday own another 1st Gen, one way or another. But I think the first one will always have a special place....

Re: Saving My 81 RX7
My oil pressure always sits at around 30psi at idle and rises to a little over 60psi from about 1800rpm. I have another pressure gauge in the centre console and have the same behaviour from that one. My biggest fear is burning a motor due to oil problems so as part of my priming the fuel pump I pull...

I went with the black energy suspension bushes as they have graphite infused in them which is supposed to appar...

Re: Saving My 81 RX7
I want to put a pin stripe down the side of my RX7, clean red stripe to compliment the white and black. But the main reason I want to buy from the US is because they have a copper and gold stripe needed for a bike I am busy spraying and after 4 months of searching I managed to find the exact colour ...
