hello peoples,

where can i get info on 1989 rx7 (turbo and non turbo) and rotaries in general. I'm thinking of purchasing one, but i would like to know what i should look out for.

I currently own a twin turbo toyota sprinter, but i would like to give it up for an rx7 s5. I'm wondering if this is gunna be worthwhile.

Someone out there convince me!!!

cheers
ash

 

umm for some knowledge you can check out 2nd Gen Resource
there are some other forumes too, nopistons.com fc3s.org

you can do searches here on this forum too



edit: im convincing you rotary is the way to go....

 

This is like the 3000th question like this, but here goes:
Pros- very nimble, fun to drive, fairly fast, rev it up without worry...
Cons- eats gas, getting old (maintenance), good luck finding a decent rotary mechanic

There are more, hopefully someone else will chime in...

 

Pros- sweet, fun car, like a Porsche but cheap

Cons- as with any real sports car, it likes gas, parts, tires, and tickets.

 

Thanx fellars, i understand its a commom question but u got to start somewhere!

 

Pros:
1. Giant killer. TIIs can run with some pretty impressive cars. On a road course these cars are competition for 350Z, S2Ks. They're very well rounded and are strong in all areas, power - good power band, both dynamic handling situations and turning a simple arc, brakes, well balanced.
2. Cheap. For their performance they're excellent bang for the buck. (atleast over here)

Cons:
1. Atleast over here there isn't a lot of support for them.

 

there great cars that are fun to drive and if you have some machanicle not typeing like me. i found that there pretty easy to work on and if you ever have a pob this site is very helpfull. and preformance parts for these car means preformance
