Ok...ok...lets face it...I really want to get a turbo II...yet because the "gagaga" of the rotary is enough to scare me away from high mileage FC's...i really do not know where to start. Here in Chicago, I haven't seen many FC's to begin with...so that being said...help...please...any help is greatly appreciated... where should I look? what should make me run away from the car? and is it worth just getting a rebuild and dropping it into one that i do find?
THanx a bunch

 

welp i actually found my turbo 2 right here in the forums. great place to find rx-7's near u. just go to the for sale section.

 

im in chicago. id be willing to go look at any possible FCs you find. im pretty reputable as far as 2nd gens go around here.

 

Damn Bill, You paint job looks nice.

So that's sunrise with lexus pearl in it? It's pretty dark for a red.
I prefer the darker paint jobs.

I need to get mine painted and am thinking of a dark gun metalish color.

 

This is a very comprehensive buying guide for FCs. http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/buy2.htm
The top things that spring to mind are: Compression; coolant seals OK, no bubbles in the filler when running, no white smoke; Tranny synchros, grinding; Turbo condition; and all the rest I think Aaron covers.

There's one for $1,500 in MS at the moment with 106k on it. Sounds good. http://www.teamfc3s.org/forum/showth...&threadid=9447

 

you could just buy a rebuilt tII motor and drop it in a older fc, it wouldnt be that hard given the size of the motor and wouldnt be to expensive
