1979-80 RX-7 High Performance Exhaust System

[jacekr35]

is it possible to buy something like racing beat exhaust in U.K.
or must order it from USA ?

Lots of the specialists over here stock them, so give the following a try:-

Hayward Rotary
MazdaRotaryParts
WGT
Rotechniks
etc

Hi,
I\'d be interested which exhaust you decide to go for and costs etc,i am thinking about putting a stainless steel system on in future.
I also have a 1979 mk1.
Cheers Stuart....:wave

I would buy racing beat high performance exhaust. Cost 680USD and just bolt on. The only problem is transportation, duty etc. costs.

I think the genuine RB one is certainly one the safest bets, I\'ve had a lot of bits from them and they really are spot on. I have a kit form manifold from them and it\'s made of nice thick steel and should last and sound nice (thin steel sounds tinny and wrong)

It\'s not that bad with the dollar being so weak at the moment as well.

WGT do a full stainless one for just over 400 quid. Bolts straight up and is a nice sound.

Hardest part is getting the thermal reactor off. Not the nicest job to get to the rusted nuts.

£400 approx for a stainless system from WGTsounds good!
I\'ll look into that.
Cheers stuart...:cheers

I asked WGT by email today. Will see what they offer. Someone tested WGT 1 gen. exhaust ??
By the way I also need 81-85\' el. ignition distributor to replace my old point system. Someone know how much is the new one ? ( i bet it costs fortune) I would buy also used one tested.

jacekr35..
Ive found a supplier in Australia who has many rare parts in stock for mk1\'s,all brand new & boxed!!He has rear lights,door & boot rubbers,items of trim,carpet,starter motors etc.
I will order from him to see if he\'s reliable,then pass on his details.
he also has new items for mk2/mk3 rx7\'s.
A brand new starter motor is £85 plus shipping etc & any duties payable.
He hasn\'t got any new distributors though unfortunately.
Let me know about the WGT exhaust
Cheers Stuart:Thumbs-up

Stuart
ask him about an el. ignition distributor. I need one

[syebba]

I\'ll ask him,he\'s on holiday for a few days,he dosent list any elec distributors,but he may be able to get some...
cheers stuart..:Thumbs-up
If you need any other parts,mechanical,trim,lights etc,let me know as shipping costs from OZ add up & for just one item you would probably find it cheaper to source closer to home.:Thumbs-up

[shaunwil]

Ask pip at WGT about that too, he may be able to source a good condition 2nd hand one. Doesn\'t have as many 1st gen bits nowadays though.

The top left hand one is nigh-on impossible. I seem to recall that whacking that nut with a long tough screwdriver used as a chisel (horizontally onto the top right of it) is sometimes the best way. I\'ve even had to take the manifolds off  to get at it - Draining down/new antifreeze - don\'t forget new gaskets and \'o\' rings - uggggh!

I ended up taking the whole intake manifolds off to get a ring spanner on the nuts. Not easy.
