i'm New please inform me on...
 

Hi i am a Junior in high school saving for a new car. Let me get to the point. I'm interested in the 93 rx-7 i do not know what i should look for. I know good gas mileage is out of the question. How many miles is too much? Is a automatic or a manual a good first year car? Any good sites to buy rx-7's? Please give me any information you may have i appreciate it.:)

there's a little sticky at the top for newbies...read that first, then there are a couple of links in there to great sites that has plenty of info on the RX-7. that said, i would not recommend one for anyone in high school unless you are very mechanically inclined, have a dad that's really into cars, or are fairly well off financially. moreover, ask yourself if you're responsible enough for one, because i know i wasn't when i was in HS. good luck.

try the links up top in the sticky... you need to know that these cars will cost a LOT of cash... so you need to know that upfront... NOT CHEAP TO KEEP UP WITH!!! for an example i have spent right at $8000 to get my car in working order (bought with blown motor) this is all new shit and of course ported apex FC and so on... but the point is that if you are looking for something to race it will be more than i have paid... and that is after buying the car... so just remember it is not a honda and is NOT cheap to fix...

civic... :D just kidding, I'm not really sure how mechanically inclined you are so I suggest you to get your folks to get you a supra, they are much more relible. Ask yourself this, do you got enuf money to pay for a new engine/turbos or can you do it yourself? If the answer is no, you should probally look for another car. I suggest you to get a beater car to learn on (especially with the manual, fd's trannies are so friggen weak, you'll destroy one in no time if you dont already know how to drive stick). I personnaly bought a 500 dollar firebird ('86) to learn on and sold it for 700 bucks after I had tons of fun and learning experience in it! :D

Good luck dude

P.S. Actually you'll probally not need the rebuild and there is probally a 70-80% chance you'll run it in to something (especially if this is your first car, and in the rain, these cars are scary; I have not even driven in the snow with one yet but I can just imagine how bad it would be!). Sure 250hp does not seem like a lot but it can really get away from you when the car weights only 2800lbs. If you upgrade it, you can easily get up to 300-400rwhp.
