Just to find used stock components shouldn't be difficult. Where are you located?

delaware

Well I have an n/a rear end and stuffs (over 140k miles on the springs/dampers), but that may be a lot to ship. What exactly do you need? Driveshaft, springs, dampers, anything else?

If you can spring for it, get T2 stuff. It's beefier and will take more power... leaves you room to advance later.

puppyslaughter 12-21-2005 01:29 PM

ok so besides the turbo and the hood what are the diffrences in the turbo vs. the na and also how hard would it be to swap the auto trans for the manual lastly if anyone has the rear they wanna get rid of and are within like 2oo miles of delaware let me know how much you want

One320B 12-21-2005 04:17 PM

Lol, the CRX guy bought an automatic rx7 to use? The automatics have shorter driveshafts and a different final drive ...3.90 instead of 4.10 or 4.33 like the manuals.



Turbo IIs and the NAs have a lot of differences, but the ones that you are probably interested in are about the powertrain/driveline. The T2s have stronger trannies, closer gear ratios, larger driveshaft(thicker/stronger), stronger rear end and halfshafts, 4piston brakes(not all the FCs have this, but all the turbos do).



To convert the auto to a manual, you'll need the pedal assembly, master slave, manual tranny, 5spd driveshaft and i'm not sure how it may affect the ecu, there have been some people to swap..best if you start a new thread about it...
