Thought I'd write about my good experience with Jap Performance in Australia. I
ordered the following items: an intercooler from a series 5 13B turbo for A$299 and a
mechanically controlled oil metering pump from a series 4 13B turbo 1988 for A$100.
Airmail shipping was A$125. This turned out to be US$265. Wired the money to them
April 2nd or so, and I received the items here in Phoenix, Arizona April 13th. Good
service if I might say so myself.
One might argue that these items might be had at a junkyard for a lower price. Yes,
maybe so, but ... in the Phoenix area there aren't many RX7's, and I didn't find one
turbo RX7. If anyone knows of a cheaper place to buy parts like this in Arizona or
California, don't tell me for a while. I want to soak in my satisfaction for at
least a couple of weeks.

P.S.- Jap Performance's prices on complete, used 13B's seems to be quite good. It's
just an issue of making a group order of them so that the shipping cost will be
lower. (This was all discussed by Leon Promet and others already.)
