88' Turbo II info
Hello everyone, I'm new here and thought this would be the place to ask my first question. Here's the deal, soon I will have enough money to buy my first ever project car, and right now I have it narrowed down to a Nissan 240sx fastback or an 88 RX7 turbo II. The RX7 has 150,000 miles on it and needs a new clutch; my question is this: Is that too many miles for the 13B? I mean, how much maintainace am I going to have to do to make it able to be driven pretty har; nothing too extreme, but just enough to have fun and do a little drifting. The car runs, but I am sure that the motor could use an overhaul......what are some basic things that I could do to make sure the car doesn't blow up on me right after I buy it. Is that TOO many miles? I am wasting my time trying to fix up that old motor? Should I get the car ( $1500 btw) and then save up for a rebulit motor? I just need some suggestions before I decide to make any purchases.

Good luck, they are really fun cars but hopefully you wil be realistic with what you can afford. I prob spent almost as much in 2 years on maintenence than what I originally paid for the car.
