Hello All,

I am looking into getting a 94 rx7. One of our family friends is selling it, and it only has 35k miles! I was looking at getting a rx8, but saving up so I could buy it in cash, when this car came around! So I have some knowledge of rotary engines. I also have a great family friend who has his own shop and works on rotaries. So just saying hi to the community, and I will be around poking my head in here and there.

Welcome to the club, sorry for your wallet!

 

I think the size of my wallet is the direct inverse of my happiness. But I will be buying it in cash, woot woot. I will do some of the reliabilty mods, a boost gauge, and get used to the speed, which I think will be a bit more than my ford contour.

 

welcome noob

 

Buy it before I do. I'd kill for a low mileage FD like that. I got mine with 39K.

 

wow, that's super low milage...very nice condition... congrats! welcome to the club

make sure u go through the FAQ sticky, and u can avoid having to keep up w/ a fat wallet.

 

buy that car! it is a real find........welcome

 

Welcome! its a real find with that mileage. sounds like you got it made with a family friend who has a shop and works on rotarys. it will be a big help when you start sorting out the little bugs these cars have. I know my wallet took a big hit the first couple of years of ownership. good luck and post some pix's of the engine bay....

Looks awesome, how much you getting it for?

 

Do it.!

 

nice =o

94 touring?

 

Well you like the car and have someone to teach you and do repairing jobs for you. The basics are there. Welcome and enjoy.

 

 

Do it, looks to be in GREAT Condition, and the low mileage is a huge plus.

 

Welcome to the dark side

 

around 14k. and to my surprise, the insurance is a good 400$ less than a wrx or rx8.

 

wow. Thats ridiculously cheap. If you don't buy it, PM me, I will...

 

Haha,my eyes went super wide after I read $14k..Nice find.

 

dang except the shift **** and dirty floor mats and my intake we'll have twins..that have twins

SWEET car man have fun and best of luck to you!

 

Update!!

Due to a busy schedule on both sides, I finally got it checked out at the shop, and got to take it for a quick spin!

The clutch is firm, but not rock hard. The car was easy to drive at slow speeds around the neighborhood, the first turbo does not really kick in until you get on it, which is nice. The power is awesome! once you get on it. The suspension is very, but not harsh, going over speed bumps does not hurt, but the one corner I was able to go into, it shrugged it off at speeds that would have the contour on the edge.

My question for the gurus is, can you adjust the height of the steering wheel. I heard that some models had that option, and I was wondering if that could be adapted to one that did not have it.

 

to all your money

 

Couldn't adjust mine. ('94 Touring)

Actually, i wasn't aware that ANY of the FD's had adjustable steering wheel height.

 

None of the FD's (US) had adjustable steering wheel heights. That 94 your looking at has the even rarer glass roof panel. Worth 4 to 800 alone if parted out.

 

Bummer about the steering wheel, but it is no worse than my contour. I love the sun roof! I have to agree on a price now, and get the repairs that need to be done, then its all mine!

The repairs needed are all fluids belts a hoses since the car has been sitting for 2 years, but nothing too crazy imo.

 

great find...dont forget plugs, wires, and filters!

Drew- from one noob to another...welcome!
