No.

Nevermind. Anything is better than chinaman springs.

Save up for decent springs, or decent struts and cut the springs. Either way don't use the egay ----.

Dear wafflesincars,

I hope what you are spewing into this thread is just what you are paroting back. You seem like a typical "I use to have a rx7" owner.

All GXLs were infact LSD equipped.

Updates were the ecu, body things, as well as some different engine components, mainly the lightened rotors/high CR. But I think one piece eccentric shafts became standard for the Turbo model as well.

I don't remember if there was a GXL model for S5 though, your car could have been in the half way point, built in 88 labeled an 89 or something.

The only use of a multi-piece eccentric shaft in a modern 'mazda' wankle is in 20b and other race engines useing three or more rotors. Also, their are S5 GXLs

At least know what you are talking about if you are going to give someone advice.


To OP, you best bet for info online is nopistons.com(decent) and rx7club,com(the honda-tech of rotary.)

Hard to say what you should do, as so many different things should be taken into account. But I was able to rebuild and bridgeport my six-port aka N/A motor. Then turbo it for about $900 total.

Well no ----.

Thank you kindly.

As for the E-shaft though, I know the earlier 13b's flywheel seat was welded on and balanced after the forging from the factory.

i am on both nopistons and rx7club. thanks for the info on the lsd though. from what i've been reading i did not think they were lsd.

oh and i am really into research so i've been reading about them a lot. i don't really listen to one person i read a bunch and figure out what is right.

and i ------- love when someone types his name out
