If you are going to rebiuld the carb, think about changing to something better. A rebiuld kit is like 330.00 where a weber is 450.00 new from Pineapple racing here in the NW. Just a thought
And that itself is a really good point. (

ok I just found the kit I need..it is $68 cool.

I figured since it a GS model(72,000 original miles) that I just want to put a good exhaust(nothing crazy, not racing or anything), air filter(K&N), and some sweet wheels/tires, get it painted and put all new window/door seals(interior is like new except driver door vinyle)...oh and put my stereo system in it(Valor 7" DVD/CD, 600 w Hi-Fonics amp, Matts 10" subs, ect. and that's about it. I want the car to be really close to stock and reliable(my daughter will be driving it off and on in May when she gets here license). Plus it's Auto tranny.

I on the other hand have my eye on a GSl w/LSD...I want the 1.3 instead of the 1.1 and the MT instead of AT and my car will be getting tricked out that's why I'm trying to hurry up and get done w/this one. I jsy got my hands on $10,000 from selling my motocross toyhauler so, IT IS ON!

Still trying to get jose13b to PM me back to let me know where he got his wheels.

And I'm still trying to find a good exhaust system, I would also like to do away w/airpump and cats in the process but I'm scared it's not gonna be as easy as it sounds...I know i need a block-off plate for something but after the exhaust and block-off is on I wonder if I'll have any side-affects w/backpressure, idle, ect. Some people make it sound easy, others say I have to remove my emission system?

Anyway I'm calling racingbeat and another one(can't think of the name right now...mind train or something?)and ask a bunch of stupid question, teehee. But I'll have to wait until Tues to that..."I'm dyin' ova hea"!

Air Pump block off valve is like $7. Just unbolt the pump, remove the belt, use some loctite gasket maker glue, and bolt the plate on.

Rats nest is just removing all of those solenoids and then plugging the proper vacuum lines. www.rx7club.com has an entire walk through in the archives section with pictures on how to do it properly.



Exhaust... where are you at?

Racing beat all the way. Now if emissions tests are an issue there are some good cats to put on there with the header and a decent muffler.

okeedokee the pump sound seasy enough, thanks for making it simple.

So your saying the rats nest has to be removed to do the airpump/cat removale?

I've tried to view the rxtclub walk through before but my piece of krap computer(an ancient artifact)wouldn't allow me to..I'll try it again.

Thanks bro

Does anyone know where I can go to get a good affordable carb rebuild kit including accelerater pump and possibly jets?


I got my rebuild kit for the nikki at RockAuto.com ~ 28.00 and some change. All crush washers are aluminum and Copper.

rx7club.com has a guy selling brand new wheels 15x7 for $500 shipped to your door. Look under the 1st gen "parts for sale" section or under "wheels for sale"
