no, mine is a manual matey, the counterweight on a manual is cast into the stock flywheel, which im not planning on using, so i need the correct counterweight instead, the autos used them, as they dont use a flywheel.

im after removing the flywheel to fit a different conversion flywheel to my \'89/\'90 FC 13B non turbo rx7,  i have found out the correct part number from Mazda as they are still available for £97 odd new... with a 3 week wait from japan.

now im in no rush for it, but i can get one slightly cheaper incl p+p from the USA...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mazda-RX-7-13B-13BT-Automatic-Engine-Rear-Counterweight-89-95-Turbo-NA-S5-FD-/221236494858?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3382b9020a&vxp=mtr

this one to be exact, since mines a 89/90 im a little unsure it is correct, there seems to be afew with the year groups > 89 then afew with 89 > so i want to be 100% correct if i do by second hand for cheaper!!

can anyone tell me if its defiantly the correct one, one or two people i have already asked online have come back with replies about s4 not fitting s5 etc but i dotn have a clue what they are on about, ive only just got into mazda\'s!

cheers for any help

yeah, ive emailed the few on there, non specify posted to the UK so im waiting to find out if they will and how much its gonna be...

i have since foudn out that my local mazda place can get them, they think the part no is N3Y811D6X and is £97 incl VAT, they take up to 3 weeks to turn up, so im happy to buy from them unless i know i can get one cheaper...

only thing about buying one, from the usa, or even gettign mazda to import one, it has to be the 100% correct part, as there is some changes around 89 and since mine is a 89/90 G plate... im a little unsure...

im gonna pull the engine soon once just to double check the mounting sytle/type, if there\'s any obvious difference?!) then ill buy one

cheers

Also one of my friends owns a recovery/car delivery company so if you do end up buying it i can get it moved no worries. just need your full address/postcode for a quote etc...

cheers

id love to see it \'used\' and back on the road one day!

yeah i thought as much matey as 99% of em are manuals! its only the yanks that want the autos...

out of interest, was your (old?) FB on carbs? and was it old skool enough to have points in the dissy or was it still slightly more \'complicated/electtonicy\' than a plain \'ol set of points?!?

Would rather sell as a whole, but everything is there bar the front bumper and both front wings, im taking the engine.... its sat on 3x GM wheels and the spare with only the odd wheel nut on each wheel... so if you wanna test drive it, or test the gear box bring some wheels/ nuts with you.



Other than the odd rusty bit, and a slightly damp smelling interior id say its in great nick....everything else works as is should, all electrics etc even had the original jack/handle etc, never been used, all the carpets are there even the mazda branded overmats etc.. its been off the road since 08, well thats the last tax disc..... Shame as it was a good honest 2 owner car from new, got Mazda service history loads of big ££ receipts with it, real shame to break that\'s why id rather it went in one go really got the V5.



but with enough interested, ill break it i can remove smaller bits and send no problem, but if you need the rear axle or something big enough to stop it being a roller you\'ll have to get your hands dirty!!



no idea on prices but if you wan the car minus the engine in exactly the same way it looks in the pics its £700 ono, for everything else ill have to go off the price you offer v\'s the price on ebay as i dont have a clue sorry!





all pics and a couple of vids showing (my!) engine running, are here...

the need for the rear counterweight is, i wont be using the manual engines flywheel in my conversion, ill be using a modified vw flywheel with the centre of a 13B but the outer ring gear/clutch face for a vw





since the stock maual engined rear counterweight is cast into the stock flywheel (which im not using) i have to use the counterweight off a automatic transmission car, which also didnt use a flywheel etc...

so i need on ASAP really, no major rush as ive got the adaptor plate and the engine for mock up, but when i want to run it up ill need the counterweight so id rather sat on my shelf waiting than me waiting for it... ive tried my local Mazda place, they are gonna get back to me tomorrow, but i doubt its available  new.



as for my doner vehical, all the pics and 2 vids of the FC are here...

it looks to only be missing the front bumper and both front wings, other than that its a real shame to break as its only a 2 owner car from new, full Mazda service history (up to 96!) everything works too... typical i hate killing cars too!

anyway ill be taking the engine and all the engine related ancillaries to make it run... but probably losing all the EFI stuff in favour for good old fashioned points/dissy/carb etc... (which im hoping 12A\'s were?!!!)

so everything\'s for sale, cheap too, ideally id like what it cost me to get it back!! or if you want to buy the whole car, i have the V5, then PM or email me

alexpalmer301183 AT hotmail.com

gonna make a advert for it now...

cheers

not really .. i take it you have tried Pip @ WGT ?

matey, new to Mazda/jap stuff, only ever owned renults and old VW\'s... So dont know WGT sorry! never even seen a early Rx7 until today!

I still have the 13b parts from the ill fated FB, you more than welcome to have a browse. I\'m not far away at all (which makes a very nice change !)

I\'m not sure who would have one TBH, may be a rockauto, mazdatrix kind of thing from USA.

Shaun

Hello by the way :Giggle

My FB was looking after me that day ! Gone off to Midlands to be restored by a nice chap

Shaun

hi dude, yeah it\'ll proberbly end up comign from USA and i get bummed on the postage...

they are even rarer as, isnt it a perfomance upgrade to fit a lightend flywheel to these little revving engines, and since the stock counterwieght is cast into the factory flywheel,  \'they\' all need the automatic\'s counterweight??

cheers for any help, if anyone could change the title of this thread to
** 13B FC counter weight needed **

that would be great!

cheers
