Sounds like a deal to me if one of them has a strong running engine. And yes both of them are interchangeable. 81-83 both had the same interior style, as far as exterior goes 81-85 parts are interchangeable. There's also quite a few engine parts that are interchangeable from 79-85.

I got flagged for my comment. Sorry. Serious though, If you are unable to decommision your vehicle for more than a day, modifications, upgrades, and repairs to non-cosmetic attributes of said vehicle are all but impossible. Thats all I meant to say. Y'all got no sense of humor.

I don't know what all the user stuff means does but I clicked there and it said "contribute or get out" on the reputation thingee. I think I lost some of my points. Do I get my liscence revoked or something? Its cool. BUY IT! Come home from school and work on it, keep you out of trouble, and broke.

Here's a counter-point for your rep.

Take that, nameless whiner!

hey are you 16 or 17 or another age. I got a rx-7 in september that was in surrey but got moved to US some how its my first car (iam 16) still havent driven it but i bought it for 500 knowing nothing about them besides rotary engine witch my dad hads to explain just keep lookinf through this forum you learn everything from these guys. You can try the bc rx-7 club and probely even find out by other people there that might know and have looked at those 7s before. but for 900 for both is pretty good as long as one engine runs and another doesnt have alot of rust. behind the seats there are bins that you want to take out when you go and look to see if there is rust on the wheel well
