car got broken into last night, and to top it off.. cant find a replacement for the parts they stole..

anyone know what thats called? center dash?

looked all over junk yards today, guys told me it would be a very hard part to find since its a GXL

anyone know any sites where I could look offhand? going to try calling dealerships but junk yard guys said they more than likely dont make these or stock them anymore :(

center dash or console?

The dealer might have one, also call other junkyards and don't forget ebay!

i assumed you contacted all your local junkyards?

contacted a few today and walked through a few.. calling more places tommorrow

did you try the parts forums on rx7 forums?

2nd gen RX7.... what year?

I have that part.. came from somewhere in Canada.. don't know the market value, but I may sell it

1990 (extra letters for posting)

I worked in Car Audio all my life and I believe you are referring to the "instrument panel" or "control bezel" also many know it as a "beauty ring" but "bezel" is the proper word, no?
anyway, i am going by what is in the post... the page did not load for me.

yep, got an 800 # to call tommorrow, they were closed when I called today

thanks, that should help me out when I call around more tommorrow :)

eBay my brother I find the most obscure parts cheap on eBay. It may take a bit of time to track it down but it can and will be found. Also many national auto parts stores are on the junkyard parts network, they often can locate the part and have it shipped. You'll pay more but as junkyards organize better prices have been going up anyway.

http://www.goodmedia.com/mazdees/ They seem to specialize in rx7-8. I have heard of a place named Aspec also.

I had an '88 10th Anniversary Turbo... used to have a shitload of RX7 parts suppliers bookmarked... still looking....

pay someone 50 bucks to get ya another one.

Poor Rex :Oh crap

When I think of car gurus, I think of Bhagwan Rajneesh...(he had a fleet of Mercedes and Rolls Royce cars):

I'm sure Red Green could fix my car quick too without even needing the replacement part :(

i use to watch that show... funny as heck

yeah me too :thumbsup

I think the dvd's are actually available somewhere now, they had a ton of seasons

That sucks bro... ebay/junkyards are the way to go. I used to have the same model.

Manufacturers only supply parts for 7 years. You may get very very lucky and find a dealer but thats extremely rare. Junkyard and ebay is your solution. What about insurance?

insurance: liability only.. this is the most expensive car I've bought and only spent $3k on it.. so insurance would end up costing more than the car, anything happens I'll just get another

I have a lot more places to call tommorrow, and also filled out a few contact forms on some other sites that carry what I'm looking for, so I'm pretty optimistic about finding what I'm looking for.. worse comes to worse I'll hafta fix it redneck fashion. :thumbsup

well liabilty will cover it for sure, I was thinking you maybe had a 500 dollar deductible, have the insurance companies body shop track down the parts at thier expense and get a new radio that was similar to your 400 pioneer :winkwink:

I'm sure I can find the missing section for $100 and put cheap head unit in there.. save me the $300 and higher premium from insurance :)

edit: btw good guess.. thats exactly what I had in my car before, lol.. well, it was only a $300 unit :winkwink:

Those fuckers, I hate thieves.
