I have always been a car enthusiast, and it's about time I picked up a car I can really enjoy. I'm SOMEWHAT familiar with rx-7s and think that I'd like to find a 2nd generation. Can anyone help me out as to what models to look for and what to stay away from. Also, where's the best place to find a nice one in the northeast (I'm from northern NJ).
I'd like to spend less than 4 or 5 grand and find a reasonably reliable car. And I'd probably x-cross it in the future.

damn you missed out on Nick's car lol. But that went for over 6k so you may not have wanted it. Welcom man. For autocross I would recomend a Base or a Sport model both are light weight even for FC's The sport has better brakes though so that will be a plus if you can find one. I bought my sport for 2k but I could have gotten it for 1500 or less. Here on the forum is a good place to start looking for one. CHeck the normal things that you do with all cars. Also do a compression test to see if the motor is still in ok condition.

convertibles are slow,turbos are fast, and regular na's are somewhere in between. its fairly hard to make a vert very sporty because they are so heavy. there is much that can be done to an na and even more to a turbo. all of them are very fun cars but i preffer the turbo myself

Yeah get a turbo if you want fast
Get a sport if you want reliablity
Get a convertible and enjoy life......
BTW: Rx-7s are not that heavy compared to
300zxs
supras
Eclipses
and Hondas...excetion CRX

Turbo's are great, but you'll probably want to do what many of us have done and I'm doing tomorrow. Buy a reliable daily driver so you're not screwed when something breaks.

I don't know if it's the same up there, but the market in the DC metro area seems to be a little crazy right now. I've been considering getting a new one and they seem to be going to 140-200 percent of bluebook value. They're also hard to find, took me six months to locate mine, but it was worth it.
