Ok so i am new here and might be posting this in the section but it is the only one i could start a topic in. I am in the market for an rx-7 second gen turbo or non. I found two one is an 87 non turbo with 13b. Hasnt ran for a min.... The new owner just purchased from a friend who was gettin deployed, supposably has had a new engine installed and car ran great for a while, then fuel pump went out?What is the basic fuel pump test on these? I looked at the car and the engine looks good to me (new to rotary though) I was wondering what all i should check for? I am going to take try and get some power to it tomorrow and see what i can find out, before making any decisions. so let me know what or where you think i should start checking?



The second car is an 86 13b non turbo have not looked at this one yet but the guy says it has lost injector signal both are same price just wanna make sure i am not gonna get stuck with something that is gonna cost me 3 or 4 times as much as i pay for it you know thanks.

 

want my advice? dont buy anything that you cant drive home. rx7's are not all that hard to find. look for one thats in pretty good shape probly wont cost you over 5 g's if it hasnt been modded yet

 

I bought a 89 T2 over 2 years ago from a guy who was "leaving the country". The car is absolutely pristine. No rust perfect body. Just didn't run. The guy said it was probably something easy as it had a new engine in it. I took his word for it because it looked in good condition and i wanted something that was inexpensive and could tinker with myself. Turns out the engine had no compression and i had to replace it again and I'm still "tinkering" with it cleaning up the mess he hacked together. So if you like to work on cars buy one that has issues. If you want to work on one for a long time buy one that doesn't run IMO
