Hey guys. I am a Turbo Mustang guy. I have had a Turbo on my Mustang for quite a while and am really wanting an RX7 bad. I was looking for a modded RX7 and from what I have researched, this looks like a great deal. Maybe it won't be too long I will posting as an RX7 owner. Thanks in advance for the advice.

That could be a good deal if that's what you are looking for.

For sane people, that is NOT a streetable car in any sense of the word. For those on the lunatic fringe.....

Just so you know, with that large a turbo and a bridgeport, the car will idle (sort of) at about 2k rpm and won't make good power until 4-4.5k. At which point, the torque will probably jump a couple hundred lb-ft and you will launch ahead, hopefully in the general direction you intended.

IMO, that car is strictly for drag racing. Also, bridgeported motors typically last in the 20-25k mile range.

 

Maybe it's just me...but I think that's sounds funny as hell....

 

nope thats pretty damn funny....and yea i wouldnt really try and daily this car...sunday driver/race car

 

i'd daily drive it ...but this coems from the person thatd rove a trans am with ZERO interior no exhaust and blad drag radials in the rain and thought it was noral and comfortable wth the metal interior echoing the sounsd of teh exhaust

 

i knew that car looked familar i live down the road of this guys tires shop(Mike Smith) i have seen the car around there. i took the looks for granted thinking it was only a stocker with an exhuast and some red centercaps, till i got a little closer, my god that car sounds damn mean though. It saw it drive around the ag center it looked pretty humble , but he never got on it. But then again its all what you find streetable i guess

 

wow, thats pretty crazy as a daily drive (just my type of car hehe). in anycase, id agree with rynberg (nicely put!)

 

Dont listen to any of them , they dont have a clue !!!! , I drive an FD with similar specs (but with a LARGER turbo !!!!)and it is completely streetable ! , it idles at 1200rpm , hac a/c and power stearing and s full sound system too . It sure as hell has a lot more torque below 4000rmp than when it was stock , hell i'm sure it has more torque than ANY of the "stockers" giving you bad advice !! , I am not raggin on you guys , but most of you have no experience with what you are speaking about and are only repeating what you hear , I have been stock and now fully modded and there is no comparison . For the price , given everything is well ,and working without majour problems , that's a hell of a deal , you should try pricing the various parts and come up with a tolal , then youl really see how much went into it , I know , been there done that !!.

 

Thanks alot for the advise and help!! And so what if I can't or don't drive it everyday. If I was going to do that, I would probably be looking for a stocker.

That thing sure looks like it is awesome!!

 

It's not a bad deal, but it's a lot of mods for someone's first 7. If you don't have experience with rotaries you may want to get something a little less modified to start out with. It does look like a nice car. Good luck with whatever you decide.

 

Thanks alot!

 

That thing is one hell of a sleeper... WOW. It even has spray painted center caps to further taunt you. Cars like that keep you humble.

 

is that a stock AST tank i see!?! y oh y?

 

Yeah, that car would be hard to troubleshoot if/when you run into issues. Since, you aren't the one who built it. Or had it built.

 

wow, you got a BRIDGEPORT motor and daily drive it? And the cops dont bother you? I wish I could do that but cops dont seem to like that very much. Whats your idle at?
