Hello i am new to this forum. i got a question i am looking in to buying a Rx7. Its a 88' gxl with 20 000km on it for $4000 and it in good shape. I am wounder if this would be a good car for me to buy because i am 17 and don't got alot of money and couldn't afford for some big to go wrong. I drive a 86' 300zx turbo right now but would like to have a rx7. So could you plz tell what you think. Thx

After owning a 1986 300zx Turbo and a 1987 RX7 I can say that if you can keep that Nissan on the road then the RX should be a dream for your wallet... not that I'm bitter toward the Nissan parts departments inability to get me anything for less than a house payment.

 

I never had any big problems on the 300zx it been a perfect car mostly a few small thing went wrong but what do you expact with a 86. I love that car it is fast as ****. I want a rx7 tho but there something that scare me about getting one cause my friend had one for like 2 weeks and it was fucked there were problem with it and he knew there were cause it was his dads. he end up selling it for like $400. I just want to know if there are going to be engine problems !! there is no really why of knowing to!!

300zx is amazing car but i got to sell it !

 

check the compression at your local mazda dealer and you'll be fine.

 

the 88 gxl your looking at will be slightly slower than you 300z turbo, way less torque any way..........

 

Will the 88 gxl beat a mustang 5.0 ? Because my 300zx smoke thems and mustang guy can't believe they lose to my 300zx. Its got over 200hp How much would the rx7 have stock ?

 

146.

 

Ya I think you will be disappointed with an NA when going from a turbo car already. You can beat 5.0s but you will need to do some modding.

 

Has anybody ever drove a turbo supra or owned one ?? If so what is it like ? thx

 

I've driven a turbo rx7 Thats like, uh...no other car I've driven. My bro used to have a 94 formula and he loves to drive my TII. Get one of those. I mean you have $4000, thats enough to buy one with a blown engine($2000 or under) and then buy a rebuilt engine(www.mazdarx7engines.com $1995 shipped with a 2 year/24,000 mile warranty). Definitely your best bet.
