The time has come for me to look for a rx-7, but I dont know wich year is the best(for me). I looked on i-net and found some cars. There aren't to many here in The Netherlands I didn't find a GSL-SE BTW. Seems there aren't any 13B's here.

I probably want to mod this in the future:

exhaust, intake, carb (aiming for 140-150HP)
springs, shocks, sway bars
LSD

Most rx-7's are from the year 1980. There is 1 from 1984 and 1 from 1985(this one is around $3500, bit to pricy for me).

Wich years be be best looking at the stuff I want to mod.

Does this mean that I won't be able to make my 140-150HP goal with a 1980 rx-7? I'm a bit confused here.

 

You probably won't be able to get 150 out of a stock 1980 SA by just changing the exhaust or whatever. You'd have to get the engine ported, the carb re-worked, new high-flow exhaust, etc. If you want that much HP, I would go with an SE, as they have 135hp stock.

 

but he cant find that...try exhaust, intake, carb work, 2nd gen coil...should get you there easily. GO FB!!!

 

Don't forget about the little things that add a few hp here and there, they add up too. Things like mechanical secondaries, electric fan, K&N air filter. Those things combined with a full exhaust and carb work you could get 150 from a 12a pretty easily IMO.
