Re: FB Wiper linkage bushings
Thanks. I bought some from a guy I found in the USA via ebay, https://sakebahn.com/ If this is use to others (shipping was as much as the items) - but the important bit is that my headlight linkage bushings are working great. You only need a single pack for the headlights to do both - I now have a s...

FB Wiper linkage bushings
Hi, I am looking to replace the FB front wiper linkage bushings and also the bushings for the pop up headlights, does anyone know where you can get some, I presume there is no such thing as 'standard' that will fit the FB (like an MX-5) - in the past seen people on the US site 3d printing them, so w...

Re: Rebuilding XLJ181X slowly
So after reaching out to many UK places I know and getting no success on finding RX7 FB rear calipers. I have ordered two 2nd hand ones from Canada (Riggs Vintage Mazda) - I hope they work and then I can return the ones I had refurbished by BCS to them to 'fix' Ok, I will have a spare set at the end...

Re: Rebuilding XLJ181X slowly
So ... the story continues. The last outing for the car, months ago now , has turned into an expensive task. Only drove a few miles, then clouds of smoke from the engine bay, decided it was not coolant but brake related. Sent off the calipers to be refurbished by BCS as I had used them before on my ...

Re: Rebuilding XLJ181X slowly
So, finally got round to visiting Tim @ RX Motorsxand picked up a replacement 13" wheel, front wiper motor mechanism, passenger electric window mechanism. After much shouting, swearing, scratching head, I realised the trick to getting the front wiper setup out, was to partially rotate the wiper...

Re: Very overdue project !!!
Looks awesome from another Stardust Blue RX7 owner (1981 non turbo) Be interested in photos of the under bonnet decals if you have them, as mine have long ago been painted over by previous owners, so photos and dimensions would be great as there are people on other forums who could then make me stic...

Re: Rebuilding XLJ181X slowly
So, car had a run out today. Had to swap out the mishimoto fan controller for a Davies Craig unit, as it came on too early and therefore never went off. The new one I can set the temp to turn on and it runs the fan until that temp -5 , then goes off. Setting it for 90c seems to work well. Still got ...

Re: Rebuilding XLJ181X slowly
20220418_143925.jpg Car is finally back, it's still clunking from the rear when you go over a bump. Tim reckons the springs are wrong for the shocks, but he has other work to do, so the car is home. I did buy the racing beat lowering springs 2 years ago to go on the car, so have ordered a set of ky...

Re: Rebuilding XLJ181X slowly
So, dropped the car off to Tim @ RX Motors. He's redone the water seals and done a street port for me. Moved sensors and fan controller components around so electric fan goes on and off correctly. Car now starts on 1st key turn with a bit of choke. No horrendous gases like it was trying to kill you ...
