I just bought a 87 non-turbo (fixing to be converted to TII) this past weekend. picked her up from lake charles, la. i live in McComb, MS. it would be cool if anyone else with a rx7 is in my location. i haven't seen any around here at all. just wonderin

 

hi, i got a s5 tII...i live in slidell...about a half hour from N.O....i'm moving to houston jan. 1 though. i also know someone that has a s4 n/a and another person with a s4 tII in slidell.

 

awesome i'm trying to get mine running. i'm fixing to just say screw the n/a and just go buy a s5 turbo motor and convert it

 

do you know a lot about these cars? i've got a lot of stuff sitting in my garage waiting for me to install. activated in N.O. right now but i get to go home every night.

 

i'm learning more and more everyday. i think the motor i got has carbon lock or something. i can turn the crank by turning the pressure plate (the motor is out and transmission is off), but it only goes so far then gets really hard to turn. i think i'm going to try to rid the starter up and try to turn it over some. or is this a bad idea?

 

Contact Ted Alvendia (badass7). He is the president of the New Orleans' RX-7 club. http://ourworld.cs.com/_ht_a/talvendi/index.htm

There are actually quite a few rotaries in the New Orleans area. Good luck.

 

I'm in Slidell as well..

 

sweet. hopefully i'll have mine running soon trying to do a Tii swap on my 87. not having much luck

 

I live in New Orleans. Good luck with your swap!! Let us know and mabye we will all meet up one day

 

yeah it would be cool to get a meet organized one day. maybe i can learn from other people's cars too. cause mine is coming slowly. well i guess slowly. i've only had it a week. i bought it completely gutted. it now has most of the carpet back in and alot of the engine bay stuff back in. i just have to find a few interior pieces and get the motor and all that going.

 

yeah i just broke down today...i don't really know what's wrong with it. seems like i may have lost compression but it's only got about 20k miles on it (rebuilt). i'm going to make a thread so i'm not going to put any details here.

maniac- i'm not sure if rigging the starter would hurt it but the starter's not going to do anything more than spin the flywheel faster than you might be able to. it might get stuck worse if you do that.

 

yeah i know. i found all the parts i need for the t2 conversion. so i might just try it on the old junk motor ha. it has 166k on the old non - turbo. and it looks like the motor has been sitting for a long time. so i'm not gonna worry about it.

 

i'm from diamondhead, MS...just moved to south florida, but i'll be back to visit at xmas.

 

Ive got an S4 TII longblock in dallas TX if you are interested. Its a rebuilt ( 0 miles) and streetported by flauta racing in fort worth texas. If you are interested pm me.
