Hahahha, please tell me this guy doesn't live in Chatsworth 'cause if it's you --riq, that's ******* funny.

Anyway stay away from the autotrader car there... what a piece.

--Gary

 

thnx for ur replys guys. well good news is that i sold my corolla SR5 today. so i have more cash now. next i am selling my nissan stanza.
TURBOSMOKE thnx for looking out for me but the s5 is automatic and the s4 has a salvage title. so i am not interested.

KORY_YAHI i live in lomita near torrance if u know where it is. whats up!!!

FITNESS STAIN u r right about the car its ugly and the interior is gutted out. i will take ur advice and will not buy it.

BOB_THE_NORMAL i will not buy the car but thnx for ur suggestion.

i have to say that i am getting a lot of help form ppl overe here comapre to club4ag and other forums. i guess ppl are nicer over here than the other clubs.

but thanks ya all. appreciate ur help.

peace.

 

People on these forums tend to actually KNOW something about their cars, club4ag has a bunch of punks talking about how they're gonna get this and get that... not a whole lot of real knowledge though. =/

Good luck, keep an eye on the recycler as the best source for cars, but be weary of someone that seems to know a lot about the car but ISN'T selling it on these forums in the for sale section... because they might be avoiding these forums specifically because the members here would spot hard to notice problems and the person would have to sell it a lot cheaper.

Oh and a last bit of advice, if you're not planning on doing all your own work on the car (from oil changes to clutch swaps) expect to have to pay more for a mechanic that knows WTF he's doing on these cars... they are harder to find than the average car mechanic. But on the plus side these cars as easy as hell to work on yourself if you have time and space, I'm rebuilding the engine in my garage. And once they're fixed you can count on them.

--Gary

 

thnx dude. i will be careful of what i have to buy. you are right about the 4ag. i had so much fight with the members over there. anyways i am happy to be here. if i found nice s4 or s5 on recycler than i will post over here for suggestions. in the mean time i will be looking for FC.
thnx again for all u guys help.

peace.

 

also i am planning to work on this car by myself. i am tierd of paying mechanics. i am going to buy a factory manual and try to learn everything about these cars. but i like to know in case who is a good rotary mechanic in SoCal.

thnx.

peace.

 

make sure you buy one that runs.... and not an fc that has alot of aftermarket parts and looks really cool but doesn't start :P

 

ps... i thought i was going to buy a factory manual and work on my car by myself :P... my apartment manager had a different opinion... it's yet to be fixed still sitting over at the mechanics shop and i'm broke! lol............................................... ..................... *hangs head in sham*

 

sry to hear that but my apt. manager is cool. he likes car too. i change my bgine oil, brakes and other maintenence in the garage. so hes cool. but thnx for ur advice.

peace.

 

If you dont mind flying up to MD to get it, F1blueRX7 is selling a nice S5 GTU

 

Here is a link to download the manuals. There are others. Save your $s for mods.

Don't buy an RX-7 of any kind!! Your wallet will be empty, your soul decimated and your life will be a miserable hell...even then you can't stop!!!!

Stay away before its too laaaaaateeeee......

 

^ i'll agree with him, once you have owned a Rx-7 theres no turning back its like a drug addiction. You always want more and can never get enough. No matter how much it cost's

 

My hands are dirty with grease and god knows what as I type this. If you buy an Rx7. Invest in some fast orange as well.
Oh, and on the reliability issue, I have a 1990 Mazda Rx7 turbo2. 170K miles. Still runs like a raped ape.

 

lol. thats funny. well i was just thinking that if u compare S5 with a S13. which is a better car. handling, braking, HP, reliability and overall performance. its just a general comparison.

thnx.

peace.

 

ill never be able to drive another sports car

 

hhhhm. interesting. so u r saying that fc is better than a 240sx. i am just trying to do the comparison. as u guys know a lot about fc so i thought u know better.

thnx.

peace.

 

hi, its been a long time. well i am very close to buy a rx7. i was wondering that how much does a 13bT engine cost. as i was thinking that buying a cheap fc and then buy that motor and drop it in. can anybody tell how much that cost and what kind of modifications will be needed on the car.
thnx.

peace.

 

well i am kinda worried now. i was just checking the prices for the engines on this websites. and i think that rx7 engines are a little expensive. check this out.
http://www.mazdarx7engines.com/Pricing.html

are these prices right or expensive? what do u guys think. let me knw. as thses are little expensive.

thnx.

peace.

 

yea dude those are really high. 904-636-7888 Thats the number to a rotary shop in jacksonville Fl. The guy who builds the motors there was the head reman engine builder for Mazda. He has built over 10k motors. They are good on the price and will warentee the motor. Ask for Ron. Tell him Jeremy Bush sent you. Just give him a call and talk to him after 5 min you will know that he knows what he is doing and will do the job right the f irst time.

They are helping me build my 500hp fc. The car is going to be a show feature car for Driving Force Automotive (the shop i mentioned) and Corksport.

Jeremy

 

WTF? 10k motors?

Is he like 500 years old??! lol

Those prices are good, I saw them and thought they were kinda low since the shipping is free. ;D

In fact they are low prices, they gurantee the engine for 24k miles. That's good and all... but reman'd engines won't last the 150-250k that new engines can, maybe half of that... depending on the wear.

It would cost a lot more to get all new housings, irons and rotors... which would be ideal.

If someone is selling them for cheaper they're probably not rebuilds, they're probably imported JSpec engines... Japan is full of cars with 30k miles in the junkyard... there's some reason why, I can't remember. Anyway, but for those 30k miles it might have been abused as hell... might not have been. Grab bag there... plus it might have a lot more than 30k miles too.

So unless it's a freshly rebuild JDM engine, it's a gamble as to whether it's as good as one of those rebuilt engines.

edit i did not mean 10k i ment 1k my fingers go to fast plus not being sober dose not help. :p

ive seen a small handfull of motors make it over 150k like 10%. Go with a rebuild. Save the money. By the time that motor gives out you will either have sold the 7 or decided to do another swap.

 

thnx for the info. but i live in california so calling them is not gonna help me. but if some body know a shop in california who can rebuild the motor. with polished head, 2mm apex seals and light flywheel that will be great. my goal with n/a motor is to make 200hp. thats all i need from the car. is this possible?
but plz let me know where can i rebuild in socali. i will read the manuals and try to do the rebuilding my self. i have never done that. but i guess i`ll try it.

thnx.

peace.
