my 1st car at 16 was an 83 camaro..then my 1st rx7 was my bros N/A s4 that he gave to me for free almost a year ago..and now im starting a n/a - TII swap

 

'87 Base "Luxury" ---> '87 Sport ---> '83 "S" ---> '91 NA Coupe ---> '87 T2

5 RX-7s later, I gotta say that BOOST is as good as they say it is and more.

 

I bought my 87 GXL May of last year... and drove it for maybe 2-3 months and with no automotive experience, jumped right into a complete TII swap/build-up.

 

I started on a 1990 pontiac Trans Am and turned it into a smashed beer can in less than three months. My second car was a 1991 trans am, same body, same motor, same color, same result. Then I stopped visting the bank of "Mommy and Daddy" and bought my first FC, 86 base. Then followed a 87 GXL and a 90 GXL. I don't have anything against the Tii. I've driven plenty and almost bought one, but I'm N/A for life. I recently learned the hard way that FI is no friend of mine.

















Besides N/A guys get all the girls!!!Hahaha

 

well about half a year ago i got into rx7's and my brother just flat out told me if im buying a 7 get a n/a. Not to be a dick but so i could learn more about them.

 

I wanted a turbo II, but I was having a hard time finding a really good, unmodified one at the price range I was looking for. I found a really clean S5 na for a really good deal, so I did that. I will eventually swap out the motor. I'm waiting to graduate college so I can afford a 20b swap. Until then, I'm keeping it clean and na. It gets up and goes just fine for me.

 

I knew an N/A was not gonna satisfy me, so I looked for a TII from jump street. Found one, bought it, should have done a compression test. Then the brakes went out, so I was lookin for a clean shell to drop my freshly rebuilt motor into when I stubbled across a deal on a runing TII

Now I have 2 tII's an i must say I'm sold on the snail (unless its 3 rotor) Now to get this motor swap completed....

 

Nobody likes you.

I started out with a 91NA... got an 87 TII.... liked it but sold it in hopes of holding out for a good clean S5 TII.... I've since gone back to S5 NA's for daily drivers and am still searching for a good clean S5 TII. Which I'll be fully restoring. Maybe a 10AE.... or an FB... who cares.. as long as it says "RX-7" on the back and has a rotary under the hood.. I'll drive the **** out of it.

 

i got into a rx7 after watching intial d, i dremt of a s4 t2 and started to read up on it and looking through factory service manuals and ended up finding a 87 base hardtop with 190k miles on it, oil seals were bad and the interior was crap beyond crap for 300 bucks, its been a year iv had the car now its getting a huge make over which ill deff be putting up the build from a junker to a j-spec s4 t2

 

1: S5 Base model N/A
2: S5 GXL N/A (parts)
3: S4 TII (parts)
4: S5 TII (parts)
5: S4 GX N/A (daily driven until recently)
6: S4 TII....um....heavily modified

Still have all but #2

 

I started off with a 10th AE the second day after being 16 . I had that for a few years then when that was gone, I was out of rx-7s for a little while and I then picked up a GXL as a DD. I got beat by a civic hatchback after having it for about 2 weeks and drove straight to my mechanics shop and put on a 60-1 TO4E. Now I would personally never own a NA rx-7 unless it was some bridgported 20b NA . But to each his own.

 

I started with a 10th Anniversary, then went to a 91 Coupe (A), then a GTUs and now another 91 Coupe (A&B).

I guess I have a thing for the rare ones......

Anyone have an 86 Sport or a 92 Vert they'd like to sell?

 

I bought an s4 n/a then a s5 n/a convertable still dont have a T2

 

I started with an 87 GXL and still have it. Plan on doing a Tii swap at some point

 

Started with an 88 GXL junker, then got tired of going slow and swapped in a TII drivetrain. The car became a whole lot more unreliable but a whooollllleeeeeee lot more fun. Im about to buy a clean vert, take all the turbo stuff out of the GXL and turbo the vert. Maybe part out the GXL or put the n/a stuff back in.. .im not sure.

I do know that if I had started out with a turbo then I would have blown that thing apart by now as ive done some stupid things when my GXL was n/a. Ill DD an n/a 7 anyday but my heart is with the boost.

 

Huh? Wow... Reading things like that will make your head hurt...

My 7 was de-hearted when I got it, but it was an NA so technically speaking I started NA.

 

86 base-------->another 86 base--------->88gxl------------>87 TII

<------------This is my GXL before new tires!


Still have the gxl. The TII has a new engine and should be running soon!

 

88 turbo II, recently just bought an NA

 

my first car was a 87 na totalled that then got a 88 na then did TII swap.

 

'87 Sport, junked it, then got an '88 GXL and both are N/A. I didn't want to play 'Pop Goes the Apex Seal' if I started with a TII when I was a complete noob to rotaries. I'm thinking of porting it in the future, but not a TII swap.

 

Mine was an 87 sport I traded for some work I did.

I got the better end of that deal since it was just flooded.

 

I just wanted a TII from the beginning. SO that's what I went with.

 

well lets see i started with an 87 toyota tercel and i turn that into an acordian... so yea after about a year of walking to and from school(i was 18 and a senior in high school very cool to walk home) so i saved and save my jack in the box dollars and i got me a TII and i knew i didnt want an N/A cuz one of my buddies had one and i just wanted more...

 

NA daily driver here and lovin it. I put 30,000 miles on it. 8 grand all day, cheap as hell to fix and cake to work on. I've gotten 1 bitch ticket since I bought it and havent gotten any for the last 7 months, exit ramps and backroads > highways Won't be going Turbo for a while, maybe after better brakes/tires/suspension.

 

1990 GXL. its a DD with 187,000mile so im goin to try and find a 13B-RE twin turbo motor and have a twin turbo FC cauase my orringinal plan of SC turned out to be out my price range and i found a 13B-RE for a great price.
