Quote from: CharlieP;594236Well pretty much standard other than, filters, Aluminium AST, and what you can see in the pics on the outside.
Oh and it has Teins all round...slightly lower and stiffer than standard.
The engine was rebuilt by RXMotors 2200miles ago, reciepts to show.
 
The rear bumper is a perfect fit, which makes me believe it is Mazdaspeed.
The paintwork is the cars main let down, although it looks great in the pictures, some parts have been sprayed, but still have scratches showing through.
 It\'s MOT\'d for a year.
Would like £3500
 
Give me a ring on 07941506512
Thanks,

Could be onto something here. Where abouts in kent are you, and what is the mileage on the chasis? I\'ll give you a call nearer to next weekend as i\'d like to come down and view it next weekend if possible...

I\'ve got an rx7 which i\'m selling, its a 93, done 39k and is pretty standard
 
Its got almost a full years MOT and a little bit of tax
 
I was looking for about £4500 (willing to come down a little) if your interested
 
I\'m just about to change the plugs and leads on it then get it in for a compression test
 
Love the car to bits but my german shepherd has just turned 2 and is a beast so i\'m gonna get a 4x4 or an estate
 
Give me a shout if your interested and i\'ll give you some more details and pics, oh and i\'m up in Aberdeen
 
Thats a nice looking car you\'ve got there, where abouts in scotland are you?

3rd generation RX-7's / A point in the right direction

thanks for the replies. What are the gearboxes like on these in terms of taking more than stock power, and i\'d really like a ball park figure on a single turbo build and also a turbo to recomend too. I\'ve noticed quite allot of rex\'s with t78\'s on them, but is this not a big old laggy turbo?

Looking around it also sounds to be around £1k to rebuild the engine in stock form...that correct?

I still lurk about on this forum from time to time, I still have my tt supra but im tempted to buy a rex for next years project. Is there a decent thread detailing a full engine build, and possibly a single turbo build and what sort of costs are typical for a single turbo engine (for street use) with myself doing all the work, except for the mapping.

Thanks for any advice :) I did use the search button btw before anyone shoots me down

Quote from: Matt_KIt\'s best to get a compression check or at least be shown proof of compression regardless... Ideally needs a special compression tester that shows the compression of all three faces on seperate readouts

It can be done with a normal compression test gauge but it\'s alot harder to see the three readings as the rotor flicks past. You\'ll be able to get an idea of the average reading still.

Now RX8\'s are more popular any Mazda garage should be able to do it... Other than that, you\'re looking at a Rotary specalist.

cheers matt, so what are decent compression figures and what are bad?


another query is that i know rebuilds are about 2.5 grand, but is there any way this can be done yourself easily?

JohnnyP\'s on here.. unfortunatly it looks like it was provisionally sold 2 days ago!

good luck on your search and welcome to the club

thats a shame. would have liked that.

When looking around people have sugested getting compression tests on the engines that havent been rebuilt recently before buying. Would this be something a moble person could do, or would the seller need to take it somewhere?
