New 1985 12A owner

RotaryNewbee · 09-14-2007, 03:38 PM

Hi everybody, I am the proud owner of a 1985 RX7 with a 12A engiene.
I live in Monroe Washington (about 45 minutes N/E of Seattle) my new ride has a electrical issue, and the rear end sounds like the brake is dragging (I am assumming it in the rearend itself). I have never worked on this type of car and I am really not the machanical type (more of a fabricator). Does anyone know
#1 - What would be a good shop to take it too that would do the best work?
#2 - Where is the best place to get the best info on what the best parts to upgrade my performace?

well, since I live too far away, I can't help w/#1... but as far as #2...

Racing Beat - Mazda Performance Specialists
MAZDATRIX for Mazda RX7, RX8, Rotary Engine Parts and Accessories

and of course, if you're savvy, we've found a lot of good deals on stuff on ebay for our little racer.

And, if you do at least 2 racing events a year in a Mazda (even autocross counts) you can sign up for MAZDASPEED MOTORSPORTS DEVELOPMENT Racing Support Home Page and get go-fast bits right from the factory.

Now, make with the pictures of your new ride

Welcome to the forum! Car looks great.. but it's really small

hehe don't get too used to it, we're in the process of changing some stuff around to give you guys plenty of gallery space, which will be completly different then the stock crap here now.
