THINKING ABOUT AN RX7 Options

[masterluie214]

so i might have the chance on getting an rx7 93-96 R1 for under 15g's the guy i might be getting it from is a good friend of some one i grow up with and he is going to be putting and a new motor in it with low miles i think anywhere from 20,000 to 30,000 miles the guy dose really good work cause he also works on my firends gsx eclipse and it rund hard!!! so i trust the guys work i was just wondering what you guys think i dont have any pics right now its red i would change the color with the quickness but other then that i think its a good deal if im the only one out of my firends that dosent boost :-( and if i get this i wont do the 3sgte and jsut have the celi for a dayly driver let me know what yall think.....

It's a nice car, and pretty quick; but all I've ever heard was the lack of dependability.

he is going to be putting and a new motor in it with low miles

go look at rx7's on ebay or autotrader. almost all of them have 60k on the car, and have just had a new motor put into them. those motors simply dont last and have lots of issues. your going to need some deep pockets to keep it running.

30,000 is practically considered high milage for RX-7s

yeah i have thought about that i know the motors are a pain sometimes but i have also know some that last that are pushed to the limit and are still running strong i know that taking care of it is a big part of it but thats with any car if you want it to last but im not sure what i want to do but it would be really nice to have one and i wouldnt mind babying it but it is a big change from piston to rotary

i mean we all know they arent built like toyotas :-) but non the less they are really nice cars

IMO, get a rolling RX7 body and drop an ls1 into. We have a local one and it is quick.

I used to have an Rx7.... original engine lasted 180,000km.... then blew an apex seal. alot of fun to drive

the 93-96 rx7's are plagued with electrical problems. It will cost you more then the car is worth to fix

[masterluie214]

well the guy who is selling it is going to be swaping to motor and redoing the wiring hes going to make it bran new for me but im not sure cause he wants the money up front but i dont think i want to do that cause i dont know if i like the fact that im going to be giving anyone a few g's with out driving off with the car he working on it right now but i dont know but im almost betting that once he has to new motor in it hes going to sell if for way more then he said i dont know maybe its a bad idea thats what im starting to think.....



oh and i know where the guy live so its not like i cant hunt him down if he trys and jip me .... but i still dont think im going to do it cause i dont really want to deal with all that caca i just want to buy the car and drive off with it meh .....

ahhh the FD, FYI....had it and FC.....IMO the FC is funner to drive, its slower stock for stock but with an fc i dont get scared to "have fun" with the FD i was always nervous about hurting it (had only 1300 miles on motor). Its quick and nice looking but if your scared of a VERY EXPENSIVE car to maintain (this will only happen if you push it very hard of course) dont get the FD.....The FC was the most reliable rotary ive ever had, it took a beating and never gave sass...
