I agree that is why I am not getting the FD, it's a little to low in price and even if it ran fine most likely sooner than later will something go wrong with it (as most know FD's are very unreliable as daily cars, and god help me if it doesn't have all the recall work done). I've had a DSM and they really aren't that bad, i'll be able to get the car and might even have the money left over for a turbo upgrade and boost controller.

Rotaries aren't as unreliable as you guys think. If you know what proper maintance to do to them, they'll run pretty damn long. I've seen rotaries with 200k with no rebuilds

Yeah but it's hard to find them being well maintained unless they're modded. I checked with PSI and they said that they would jump on a $5,500 FD, but most of the employees there drive them (I think one has an R32 Skyline though). They are really good cars but for that price I think i'll try to find a TSi AWD that would be in much better shape.

an FD for 5 grand? Yeah, it probably doesnt even have a motor. Be a man, get a T2. Come to the dark triangle side.

Like this one, yeah they rate 14.4 quarters so I might look into it, after researching the 1st gen DSM's I think i'll pass on the 2nd gens, they do look better but the 1st gen came with the 14b, weighed a little less, and didn't have as much of a tendancy to crankwalk. I'll research a little more on the TII and se what I can find out. |

If I were to buy an RX-7 I would go for the second generation Turbo II non convertible (FC). Like the one in Initial D.. Only in another color but white. I like their looks way better than the third generation (FD)
