Hey everybody! I'm Eric, I just got a 88 gxl that is rough! I traded a bride zeta knock off seat and a set of s13 emusa coil-overs I had laying around the shop for it. I have owned a fb and fc previously, just dailys so I never did anything tuning wise. So I guess you could say I'm new to the rotary kinda.
Info I know on the car:
88 gxl I think
Not getting spark(no idea why he says Cas)
17" enkie wheels
5 lug
Full interior
30mm front fenders
Missing front and rear bumpers and pass mirror
Paint sucks!
Goals:
See if it runs and engine is good
If not swap it and rebuild!
Turn it into 350 hp drift car.

So got a ton to learn and to do in 5 months. God I love a challenge!
Here is a pic of the car will post more up when I go pick it up hopefully when I get off work. Any help is appreciated.

Welcome. Whats the issue? what coils not getting spark? or is it all 0f them? There is TONS of rotards down in dayton/cincy.

hope all goes well nice too see more ohio guys around

Reedy

Yeah neither coils and I have checked and changed all the fuses plugs wires, coils have power, checked the ecu ground, unplugged the afm and still nothing so the only thing I can think of is maybe the ignitors or something I missed completely

Reedy

Oh and the tach needle doesn't move and I have a spare ecu and coils I am gonna try tomorrow

from ohio too. my family races scca 1st gen rx7's

little5.0eater

just swap it if thats the case turbo parts are pretty easy too come buy and your in the right place for help and advice. no need to give up her. keep up the effort. rx7s can become black wholes but the payout in the end is well worth the effort. keep the ohio guys comin
