with an auto box, a 0-60 of over 10 sec. with a manual trans, 0-60 9.4-9.7 roughly. top speed was 118mph. i have read that other top speeds being 122mph. 100hp is on par.

cmanns

**** hes one of those people that wont get it if it aint fast....idk mine is a auto 1991 2ndgen and i hit 7sec I believe, iono if he should get it or not, its in PERFECT condit cept the A/C and uhh struts are broken, the body is in perfect condition i mean NO dents he said and theyre paying 950 for it

kind of a rare find in that good of condition. he can make it fast....just takes a lot of cash and a love for teh rx-7.

cmanns

yea he dosent have too much love but when i said 9sec lol he was like daymn iono why that mkaes him happy but ay its better then a camery and with exhaust and intake thats like 130HPish I'm guessing =D but he needs a tranny swap soon

i personally think that if u dont love ur rx-7 or any car u shouldnt own it, so basically wat im sayin is if he doesnt want it because he loves it, and wants to beat the **** out of it, then he shouldnt get it, but thats just me, i dont love my car.......... i adore it

cmanns

yea I love mine but all I've told him bout mine he loves and well he dosent want a bitchass slow car but i told him i'll fix it up for him so hes buying it right now woo hoo i converted a piston lover =D

btw what does this vid say http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmFfFlcoBHY 0-50 in 6sec?

better than a camry, lol. i own two V6 5spd camry's and they will flash to 60 in 7 seconds and run a mid 15 quarter mile. you must be talking about the 4cyl, lol.

Jozay721

yeah u better!lol j/p. yeah thats an interesting vid. they are probably just tryin to advertise though, if u could do 0-60 in 6.3 in 100hp with a 2200lb car(estimate) then who knows wat u can do in a subaru wrx(350hp in 2600lb) i dont know if any of those are accurate but u know wat im sayin.

cmanns

yea thats a mazda video tho right? wrx's are like 4 sec flat 0-60 my aunts Legacy turbo with a tiptronic auto made my head hit the seat when my uncle downshifted it 2times and floored it lol it hurt even

what should my homeboy do to his car first? its a carb obviously so I suggested new carb and exhaust first..? he dosent have a license like me yet but his parents are gonna have him drive them around

openshot

i fould a 83 mazda rx7 one to =) because i own one =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRFSBZYI6j0&NR

First thing he should do is read as much as he can and learn about the car. If he doesn't know anything about the rotary and doesn't respect it, then there's no reason for him to own the car. There's alot of things you could do to makie the car run better and be faster but you need at least a basic knowledge

Jozay721

yeah its a good thing to have more rotary heads, ive been one since i was little

boohame

Unless he's used to driving a Ferrari, I'm sure he'll be happy with it.


New exhaust, then a new carb. That will yeild about 150hp depending on the setup. Then some other things like ignition would be a good thing to upgrade.

well, if the struts are broken i would take the opportunity to rework the entire suspension. after that i would upgrade the brakes, change the exhaust and do a tranny/differential swap. then i would worry about adding hp to the engine. it is my theory (kind of mine anyways) that if you cant make it turn well and stop quickly then you should not add hp.

boohame

Why? To what?

cmanns

its a auto silly :P

boohame

cmanns

yea

uhh he reved it to as high as it would go on the phone red line is 8K i guess and it wouldnt go higher then 6ish he said and it sounds like a starter motor over the phone lmao my FC3s is soo loud at 8K i cant hear people with stock exhaust...well anypoo its been sitting for over a year i guess and it smokes what he said is cloudy exhaust thats more whiteish then blue and it has 90K miles, it says Add Coolent and Add Engine Oil so hes leaving it alone till they get more =DD


he said its pretty quick so he likes =]]

BigJeff

It's probably got a bit of carbon in there, would be my guess if it has been sitting for a year. After changing the oil and doing a radiator flush, either do the ATF treatment or just spray a little water with a spray bottle down the carburetor while reving at around 3-4k. Either of those will scrub the engine clean of carbon, just be sure you don't water lock the engine if you do the spray bottle method.

If it's still putting out white smoke after that you may have a coolant leak, and a rebuild would be in order for the engine. Better talk to more experienced folk than me before you do that.

Good luck, and show your buddy this forum, I'm sure he'll be hooked as fast as I was.

Redline is 7K. The gas is probably stagnant as hell and the oil is probably gobbed and clogged. Do a full tune up and see how it goes from there. Ifhe says it's quick and he likes it, he's obviously never driven a fast car.

also, tell him to run some seafoam through it.

perfect_circle

no, tell him to come here and find the exact way to the seafoam, not just do it. that could mess things up.

85rx7crazydriver

is there a wrong way other than putting it in the oil and not changing it?
