I've been wanting to swap my 12a over to efi so I can turbo it down the road. This listing appeared on marketplace and I've been doing research but having a hard time finding answers. What else would I need in order to make this work? Would like to keep it relatively cost effective. Also been looking at 13b intake conversions to even 13b swaps but rotary stuff is hard to come by around me
I'm debating picking up with an R33 or an FD RX-7 and am curious if anyone's successfully registered one in IL in the last year or so.
I ran into a blog claiming that IL was revoking plate of some JDM cars (mostly Kei cars/ trucks but they claimed a few fullsize cars as well). There's basically no other information about this anywhere that I can find that doesn't just reference this blog so I'm questioning if it's actually true or not.
Anyone run into issues getting tags here or have the state try to revoke yours?
Trying to do the bread trick with my pilot bearing, but it's not coming out. Been hammering bread for 30 mins.
The seal was crushed like that before starting, but I didn't think much of it. Now I feel like my bearing is stuck in there 100%.
Thoughts on how to remove it?
Whats your opinion about this housing? Very corroded? Can still use it?
Found a ton of rust and old sealant inside the tank, looking for a good replacement but don’t wanna pay $800 for an old tank. Ideas?
1991 S5 RX-7 NA, finally got the engine light to illuminate using the test pin, can someone confirm what is sequence decodes to?
I recently bought an Aoshima RX-7, but after assembling it, it seems really small. Is it supposed to be like that?
Im new to engine building but im assuming this isnt normal. Not sure why its getting caught. Any engine building advice would be helpful.
We’re back on the road and she stayed cool the whole time all 0.6 miles of it lol also ignore my grandparents lol they let me work on it in there driveway 😂
Heya, big fan of the rx7 and this guy nearby me had one for sale. I’ll post a copy of the description below but after talking on the phone with him the details seemed to line up well. It’s sat for a couple years now with only basic maintenance and had the block swap done by a shop from the previous owner. Curious how hard it would be to install brake booster but seems maybe not that bad? Forgive me I’m a bit new to the space and excited to work on one of these beautiful older cars.
Any feedback would be welcome and appreciated!

Seat is in for a test fit and I like it and thank goodness I’m only 5,7 otherwise driving would be a challenge.
I am debating buying this 1985 RX7 with the 12a engine. It has been rebuilt around 8000 km ago, and has been street ported with a 45dcoe weber carb and some other upgrades. It has this squeal at higher rpms, is this something to be worried about or just a bad belt/pulley? I haven't seen the car in person yet so just have this video to go off of.
Thank you everyone for following along and giving encouragement and help I couldn’t of done it without this community (and yes I am sitting on the floor waiting on seat brackets and I stalled it 2 times cuz I’m on said floor.
Since I didn't like the common supports that go in the original position of the coils or on the strut, I decided to design my own to get them on the engine itself. All this while maintaining the entire original intake system, oil filter pedestal, infill, ... of the FC.
I would like to hear opinions, objective data, and so on. They are very tight, especially at the back, and I don't know how well this design works for coil cooling.
I hear you!
What have my Haltech Ic7 users done to mount the screen in your dash? I see the 3d printed ones on Ebay and whatnot. Have you guys done custom mounting? Are there lesser known companies that made a good one? Considering just buying one, but I have the means to make something custom. Just curious what others have done. Pic for attention.
