Just picked it up the other day. I payed 700 bucks for it. Its a 90 and it has a blown rear apex seal. Im currently looking for just another n/a motor to swap into it and make it my DD for now while i finish my honda. Im pretty new to the rotary motors but im sure i could figure it out. Let me know what you think.

Good buy, get er fixed up and ditch the honda cause honda's suck. Unless its a prelude, I dont mind prelude's.

i dont know if ill ever ditch the honda. soooooo much blood, sweat and money has gone into that car. its a eg hatch by the way that will runs low 13s all day. it should be dippin into the 12s here pretty soon. i just need to get the rx7 fixed so i can have somthing to drive while i pull the head off and build it. when thats finished then the fc project will be under way.

cept yours has the "other mirrors and different rims lol
just out of curiosity, how come your keeping it NA?

ChrisStone24

ive been thinking about a t2 swap but i want somthing that i can swap in right away so i can get it running because ive got a full valvetrain just waiting for my honda and i need a car to drive while my head is away at the machine shop. how difficult of a swap is a t2?

Looks good. I got my 1990 GTU for 600 in basically the same condition but stock rims, aero mirrors (stock) and with the wing on it. I would recomend tuning the RX-7 instead of the Civic myself even though I drove a 1994 civic coupe for a few years and loved it. Just the rwd vs fwd factor does it for me and the fact that a jeep Cherokee is as fast as a stock civic lol. Im in process of a turbo conversion myself and have been for about 6 months. So far I have spent about 2000 in the motor transmission and all the things connected to the motor. You should be able to pick up an N/A motor at a fairly reasonable price so if your convinced about the civic then just stay n/a although the civic would be a much better DD then the rx-7 probably. Oh and get the stock wing for it I think they look naked w/o them.

i want to build the rx7 but the civic is about 90% complete and i would hate to see it go unfinished. as for the civic as a DD thats way out of the question. its 12:5 to 1 compression and has trouble running on 92 octane. i already have my car whenever i want to haul *** so i want to use the rx7 as a drift car. i used to own a 300zx and i miss getting a little sideways from time to time.
