Efini or Bathurst?
Hey guys i'm kinda stuck here and i need some of your help. I just sold my civic so i can buy a rx7 fd. I've come across two models one is a 1996 Efini Type-R RHD the other is a 1995 Efini Bathurst Type-R RHD they are both from Japan they both have the same amount of miles but idk which one would be better. Can you guys help me out. I know about the rotary engine but idk whats the big difference between the two.

yeah but which one is better. the owner of the bathurst also owns the 96 one but he says the bathurst is better because it has bigger wheels and bigger breaks and some other little stuff?

Hello
Are they already landed on this side or do you have to import them? I would have both checked for compression and see the records for both. In the end the better condition car, better maintained car or better compression car should be your deciding factor. Bigger brakes that may need replacing aren't better than smaller brakes that are still good. Unless you already know something about both and they are effectively the same then go for the bathurst edition.
Again, condition of the car should be the deciding factor and not the model, 95 and 96 are very much the same from what I know. I am no expert though!

Oil not changed
From what I have seen I have not heard of many buyers of JDM cars that did not require a rebuild with in the first 12 months.

it's a joke because you obviously know nothing about rx-7s, you're like 18, just sold your civic, and you're trying to buy a RHD imported rx-7.
we get threads like this every week, and sometimes people post them as jokes. thats why. lol i just googled your name and all that **** came up. hardly stalking. wanted to see if you were a troll or not.

to me its not that its a RHD its just that they are with very very low miles and good condition and better then the other ones that I have seen for sale with the same price.
