Goodbye Inline 4...Hello Rotary

Hey whatsup gang. I now drive a 2003 Acura RSX-S, and I am thinking of trading it in and getting a 3rd Gen RX7. I have been kinda looking at all versions of the RX7 and I like the Bathurst look. Where could I get the parts necessary(i.e. bodykit parts, not engine parts) that the USDM rx7 doesnt have that the Bathurst does? Thanks for putting up with another n00b.

If you get an RX7, keep the RSX as a daily.

Excellent advice, zmarko!

Drivesanrsx: Before you dump any money into any kind of body kit, you should spend your money on the reliability mods or else that body kit is not gonna do you much good on a broken car.

Keep the RSX, I wouldn't advise having an FD as the daily driver or only vehicle.

Do your research...Do your research!!!

I looked at rx7 info for over two years before I bought mine. I have wanted one for over five years. My best friend bought a used Pettit TKT back in 1999 and I fell in love after driving it multiple times. Know I own one of my own!

Test drive at least four RX7's and check the "Lightning in a world of thunder" website. Look at "Reliability Mods" First. otherwise you will go broke fixing the RX7 and have to sell it possibly.
