i had planned to break it but had no real interest so the car has been scrapped. Bit of a bummer really as the car itself didnt have any rust, interior was ok and aside from the engine having knackered water seals it all worked fine. sorry cant help now tho guys!

ok pics are on my webgallery here
http://gallery.mac.com/guyclark#100008
hopefully enough there, if you need anymore let me know
In the pics, there is no steering wheel, but I do have that, my momo one has come off thos so i can chuck the original one back on easily enough. or leave it in the boot, either or heh!
Engine pic is current and as you can see some parts are currently missing, but I have them all, they are currently in the boot, all bolts are still there too!
Right hand side of the exhaust has dropped a bit I just noticed, probably a hanger has broken off or something
the arches show the rust on there, but it doesnt go any further than what it looks like there
I stupidly forgot to get pictures of the door sills/jams but there dont appear to be any signs of rust there at all
sunroof doesn\'t work (surprise surprise - it never did)
umm. the rear seats aren\'t great, a bit lifted up, sorry no pics of them, and if i recall there are some marks/burns on them (from the owner before me). the fronts are ok though
no stereo fitted, and no front speakers, the rears which i never used, are blown, spolier has some slight cosmetic flaws in the paint (bubbling - even tho i dont think the spoiler is metal) but its never bothered me, looks ok.
rear tyres are quite new, should have some life in them yet, they are cheap tyres though, front ones are probably quite worn
just checked the MOT too and it ran out yesterday, d\'oh!
hope thats enough info, cant think of much else..
oh yeah one front wiper missing, two have snapped off on me while driving, have another spare.
yeah anyway, im in warwick, dont know anyone who has a trailer either :\'(
hope this info helps!

hey andy,
When I finish work tonight I\'ll get some pics for you, anything in particular you want to see?(close up). I\'m probably looking for a few hundred for it, but I\'m open to offers, bear in mind it would need trailering away, and is sorn (no tax) I\'ll double check on how long it still has an MOT for too.
Cheers

2nd generation RX-7's / 1988 FC sell as whole or break for parts..

Hey all,
My rx7 egi has finally given up the ghost after fitting more parts and the car still overheating, i cant justify the cost of an engine rebuild so car is going to be selling as a whole or breaking for bits...
Just wondered if it was worth breaking it for parts or just selling the hulk of the car in one piece?
The car is an (arctic silver) 1988 EGi, basically it seems to me the waterseals have gone on the engine as I recently finished fitting new water pump, thermostat, fan and rad on the car as a last ditch attempt to fix but sadly its still got the same symptoms as before and I\'m not surprised as it had gotten overheated quite a few times.
Engine is partially apart again (rad out and pulleys etc) at the moment and not driveable at all.
Interior is in ok condition but not great, rear wiper doesnt work (switches). Car shell itself is pretty rust free, aside from some cosmetic rust on the rear arches and a few small dings (ill put pics up if you want). Car hasn\'t been driven much since it past its last MOT which had no issues, just been parked up in my garage since it was overheating! Has combi black diamond discs all round which should be in good condition still too.
Anyone on here interested in this? Thought id put it here to see if any interest anyway, if theres interest, or interest in breaking i\'ll put it in the for sale ad section with pics..
I\'ll be sad to see her go tho

February 20, 2008, 04:50:19 PM
also pete I keep forgetting to ask (and just remembered), if you have a drivers side wiper also... I have somehow managed to snap two so far while driving on motorways, i just temporarily chucked my pass side one on the drivers side and forgot to get another one.. so if you got one, add that to my growing list please 
cheers

February 17, 2008, 01:40:15 PM
Hey,
Im just trying to get a few bits for my rx7, the one I can\'t seem to get ahold of is the water pump.. I\'ve tried mazda but its pretty expensive, so was wondering where else I can get on from and what sort of price im looking at, or if I\'ll have to pay the price from mazda :\'(
Car is a 2nd gen EGi FC
cheers

2nd generation RX-7's / Solution at last!
July 19, 2007, 02:54:31 AM
hey,
just an update for everyone here, after much frustration on my part having issues not knowing exactly what i needed and then finding it difficult to even find a \'bodge\' part as such..
have since been in contact with Jimmy\'s RX-7 to see if they could help me out seeing as in the past they have sorted out some other bits for me too!
So not only did they manage to find out that it is after all an airhose that is missing (even after reading my rather cryptic email with all its bad descriptions) but they have found the part for me (including clips) and are going to send it out to me FOC. :god
I can\'t thank them enough, fantastic service and really helpful despite me not having much detail for them to go on. :Thumbsup!
im really stoked anyway, car will be back on road sooner than i thought :cheers
