FC Turbo or FC N/A?

Hello am new here, and i am stuck on a decision, should i go with a turbo FC or a N/A
FC. Finding a FC Turbo is very hard, but i am very intrested in a Turbo FC. I Really need to know how strong a N/A Fc, if i converted into a Turbo.

This is a very hard decision, need help on deciding.

Thx

If you want a turboII just wait and you'll find one. Depending on what model FC you get; to get it to "turbo specs" it could need the brakes, hubs, suspension, engine, transmission, driveshaft, and rear end. Its worth the wait because it's going to take longer to locate parts and actually perform the swap if you get an n/a.

Go with an N/A for your first 7. Then, later, get a TII.

If you have knowledge about rotaries or knowledge about turbo cars, get a TII! If you are a new to working on cars, just get a NA first.

Honestly speaking, you should probably get an N/A first it helps u get a feel for the car and if u are new to cars and rotary itself N/A s are a good start. They are more reliable (with less work I mean) and it ll help u get into the habit of checking u car. Plus they are easier to work with (more room in the engine bay) and if u find a really good n/A u can always swap in a turbo motor. I wish I Had kept my SE (base model lol) was perfect for a swap but... I love the s5 T-T plus u can find some for pretty cheap. My SE was 800 and all the problems I had were minor and easy to fix. My TII... needs a rebuild hahahaha not my fault got it as it died .... oh well. Go n/a it wont be a bad choice.

mechanical problems are due to the previous owners...

electrical problems are everyones problems with these cars....

you may or may not have mechanical problems whether or not you get a turbo2

you will have electrical problems as these cars are 15-20 years old...

with that being said if you are scared of electrical or mechanical problems rx7 is not for you...
