Non Running - Lots Of Parts on 2040-cars
Grove, Oklahoma, United States
|
I am putting a 1987 RX7 TII up for sale as a project or for parts. The car has a lot invested in it, but is no longer something I am interested in. I can get car to start by putting a little fuel into the chamber and the tuning shop had it running off starting fluid - has spark and compression but no fuel. Oil has been
Non-original motor, rebuilt over a year ago, compression seems and has been stated to me as ok. New Parts: Walbro 255 fuel pump, Haltech Sprint RE programmable ECU, Clutch, Clutch Master and Slave cylinders, Resurfaced flywheel, Aeromotive 13129 Fuel pressure regulator and gauge, Motor mounts, Starter, Radiator, Remanufactured 550cc Fuel injectors. New Parts Internal: Apex, Side, and Corner Seals from Atkins. Soft seals and O-rings. Engine is complete, alternator only accessory hooked up, AC in box, smog pump gone, car does not have power steering (from factory I believe). Extra Parts: Spare 5 speed Turbo transmission - unknown condition New passenger area carpet in box - black NXS turbo timer Spare stock Turbo - needs rebuilt AC compressor - unhooked - unknown condition Car had a suspension kit on it from Suspension Techniques when I bought it. It was behind some guys house where it had sat for at least 3 years, the owner pulled the motor and sold it for scrap. Replacement motor bought out of a parts car, checked vin was a 87 or 88 turbo 2. Rebuilt using parts ordered through Atkins including new 2mm Apex seals. Car was previously in Arizona, now Oklahoma, no rust issues. Body fairly strait with peeling paint and a few dents (passenger headlight cover). Car has been professionally fitted with a Haltech sprint RE - has not been tuned. Shop also fabbed block off plates (OMP still attached though). Rats nest still attached because I still have the hard fuel lines hooked up. Lots of people say fuel issues and I choose not to believe them; so a quick list of things I have tried or corrected. Had original low impedance injectors cleaned, wiped out bottom of tank, corrected fuel lines that were hooked up wrong, replaced fuel pressure regulator (fpr), replaced stock FPR replacement with Areomotive and made sure to get gauge, checked grounds, leads, fuses, and resistance on fuel injectors, bought high impedance fuel injectors. Rechecked that injectors enabled in haltech. Good pressure in the fuel rails and seems like injectors are getting ground signal that the haltech does. Known faults: No Fuel Cracked front windshield Driver seat poor to fair, passenger seat bad Car has dents and the clear is peeling (exterior is rough looking with the clear coming off and was so far down the to do list to worry about, I make no promises about it except that I have been under it and around it plenty and haven't seen rust - flaking or holes) Harness for gauge cluster needs rewiring (in passenger compartment even with gauges on the firewall) guage cluster bezel broken plastic pieces surrounding steering column missing No carpet for hatch compartment Tires hold air but are too small Master cylinder for brakes needs replacing and brakes bled - E-brake only one working at the moment Included odometer is a replacement and does not reflect actual miles which are unknown Has some wires that need cleaning up, the hoses for the intercooler need replaced, and a small list of other things that I was saving till after I got it running. I would be better off parting it out, but space and time are better reserved for other things right now. I have tried to put 100% about the car on here but easier thought than done. I will be happy to answer any questions about the car, but if I need to be with the car it will have to wait till the weekend. Oklahoma Title clear and in my name. Car is black tagged through next month - June 2014. The first three pictures are from this month, the others are 6 months or older. Car is As-is, and all misc parts related to the car will go with it. |

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
2014 Mazda6 recalled due to fuel overfill fire risk
Fri, 02 May 2014Mazda is recalling 19,000 Mazda6 sedans from model year 2014, over concerns that the fuel tanks can be filled up too much. What is it with Mazda and fuel tanks?
The big concern is, obviously, spillage when filling up. There's also a risk that a radical temperature swing could cause the fuel volume to expand, causing a full tank to spill over without the driver knowing about it. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, if the fuel spills over, it could end up in something called the charcoal canister, which helps with the car's emissions. If it fills up the canister, it could leak out onto the road. None of this is really desirable.
The affected vehicles were all built between October 25, 2012 and May 9, 2013. It's unclear if there have been any fires due to this problem. Dealers should have been notified by now, while owners should begin receiving official recall notifications very soon.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
