Fd3BOOST 12-15-2003 03:38 PM

Anyway the price has been agreed upon and I should be picking it up on Sunday.

I am told that the engine is not strong and I will need to tow it home.

Looks solid.. just handle the rust.. how is the interior? I like the color.. My dad always wanted to paint mine canary yellow.. I have a different lookin rear bumper on mine.. you can have it.. haha

j9fd3s 12-15-2003 10:28 PM

not too bad, it looks pretty complete in the pics. i like the yellow, if you want to go resto the 12a can be made into a 13b....

FikseRxSeven 12-15-2003 10:32 PM

12a can be made into a 13b?

OK i still have some **** to learn obviously.

Whats the diff between the 12a and the 13b?

I havent seen the interior yet. He told me that the dash is cracked and has average wear for a 30 year old truck. I am going to gut it anyway. I just hope that the guages and console are fairly decent.

I might take you up on that bumper.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



It should be cool I am only paying $400 for the whole thing https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

the difference in the width of the rotors, so you can put 13b rotors and rotor housings and its a 13b

Jeff20B 12-16-2003 02:43 PM

You might also want to get some 13B stationary gears because they are 5mm longer than 12A gears.

Fd3BOOST 12-16-2003 03:48 PM

Learn something new everyday.

Thanks guys.

So what about the E shaft?

Wouldnt that have to be longer as well?

j9fd3s 12-16-2003 05:28 PM

yah you need the 13b eshaft

Fd3BOOST 12-16-2003 10:10 PM

You mention that I need the front cover for it to work.

Is the only reason due to that crank angle sensor that you mentioned?

Cheers! 12-16-2003 10:51 PM

i think pretty much you get a 13B NA motor from a 86 to 88 car, rip the front cover off and install the cover that came off a 79 to 84 rx7.



wow... definite project car. Does the wife know about this?
