I'm new to the forum, HI~~

My wife and I are interested in purchasing a Second Generation RX-7 Convertible.

Are there certain things we should look out for??

Is there a place that sells RX-7 parts at a good price??

Or a dealership??

Any info would truly be appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Well, I priced hatchback lift cylinders at nearly $200 at the dealer, so the dealer is probably not best for parts. Quality yes, but price no. There's a BEAUTIFUL second gen convertible for sale in my apt. complex. . It's red with a black canvas top. Pretty clean looking, although I have only seen it briefly. I can get the info for it if you want, and maybe some pics. I'm in Tampa, FL. I don't live here, just here for a few weeks,,,,BB

Just FYI, That post is from 2001.. Don't worry, it happens to the best of us.

one problem on the second gen was the front ecentric nut would brake.This would lead to spring losening and loss of oil.

I think this happens around 85,000miles.

You may contact member JudgeIto for confirmation or Shannan McMasters at Import Motorsports out of Plano. actually he moved to the Motorsports Ranch. Its a new race track out of Dallas.
