Getting ready to sell my Durango this spring. Deff. going to get a car I can modify and have some fun with. I've been a rotary fan since I've been little (mainly an RX-7 fan). I just need your opinions on a good car to modify that I should buy. I really want a 7, but I'm trying to out weigh one or the other. If I dont get a 7 what should I get? Why should I get that car instead of a 7. I really really really want a 7, but I just ned reassurance. Thanks.

 

how much money do you have?

 

I should have around 7-8k

 

if you really want a 7 you dont need our suggestions. if you have any doubts i suggest getting something else because the 7 is a fragile car and if you have doubts about getting one when something breaks youll just get frustrated with your choice

 

Why would you come to a 2nd Gen RX-7 specific website and ask this? I'd think we're all pretty biased.

get a 2006 honda civic, those things are mad TIGHT!!!!!

 

you should get a JDM FD3S www.gspeedcorp.com

 

Why is everything soo cheap on that site?

 

Dont kno but some of the things one the site look like its cheap lol, but some things look like its good.

 

of course id get a 2nd gen 7.. plus u can get a nice looking one for 25-3500 and that leaves u 3500 4000 to throw some mods on her and save a lil bit just in case..lol

 

get anything with a turbo and light, my friend has a fiesta with a 225whp turbo engine in it for under 6k, its funny seeing it beat mustangs and comaros all day.

 

oh yeah also if u want a seven get a t2 no other, i have a na and it cost to much to get it to 200, t2 stock 200.

 

Lol

 

what, comaros, camaro

 

Is this going to be a daily driver?

 

It all depends. If the car was taken care of and you take care of it, the 7 is a wonderful car. My 88 TII is my daily driver, the stock engine had 180,000miles on it when I finally pulled it to rebuild it (didn't blow, just wanted to rebuild before it did). I don't baby the car by any means, I auto-x it and just can't resist freeway on ramp romps, but she's been sooo good to me.

Just remember, the newest RX7 (FD) is still going to be a 10 year old car, and the newest FC is obviously older than that, so you'll have to deal with maintainence issues etc.

 

if i had money to burn and a project to start id go for a 1st gen turbo swap, nice suspension, and around 350 whp
