i want a 93 rx-7 and am getting one what do i need to know to keep my engine runnin good. i know nothing of rotary engines and heard they are not reliable. what should i know.

 

first thing is that you WILL spend 80-20k to for a good running FD, whether you buy one, or build one. second is to read the sticky posts and and FAQ's at the top of this forum.

 

i saw a couple for $9,900 is that a good price.
and is it a hard engine to maintain.

 

not too hard, just expect it to be rebuild between 75 and 100k mi. needs AST, down pipe and boost guage for reliablity. then normal motor upkeep stuff, new radiator hoses, new vacuum hoses.

also probably will need new rear suspension bushings. a bigger (aluminum) radiator.

it is a 10 year old car after all.

no way i can say whether 9.9k is good or not without alot more info.

 

this cars probably not for me do you know any other cars that are easier to maintain then the rx-7 and about the same performance for 9,900.

 

You cannot get a good condition FD (3rd gen RX-7, 1993-1995) for $9900. And you sure won't be able to find anything with higher overall levels of performance for that price either.

You can get a 2nd gen RX-7 Turbo (86-91) for a bit less than that. That car will be easier and cheaper to maintain and modify and will still be very quick and handle well. Get some experience with turbocharged rotaries that way and if you like it, then move up to a 3rd gen RX-7.

 

i wont be able to maintain a rotary engine from what ive heard about them i dont make enough money to either. so i probably wont get one .ot sucks that they are so much work do you know any other cars not rx-7 for around 9,900 max price is 10,000. i will probably get an rx-7 wen im older and got good income.

 

what other cars are fast like a rex for 9,900

 

Get an FC, or an FB.

 

Miata.

 

what is that and if its rx-7 i dont have enough money to maintain it and wouldent know what to do with a rotary engine

 

I'm having a little trouble making out some of your sentances.. but your last post sounds like you arent interested in the Rotary engine?

For 9-10 grand? I'd get a 91-92 Integra GSR and turbo it. Honestly. Fast, reliable and doesn't need anything more than a regular oil change every 3K.

 

does anyone have any ideas on what i should do.

 

how hard would it be for a newbie to rotary engines to maintain a 1993 rx-7. about how much would it cost me. i really want an rx-7 but dont think i will be able to maintain it.

 

does it take alot of money to maintain it.

 

now you are just being an idiot, we gave you the answers. i gave you the costs.

 

whats your problem just trying to figure this out.

 

i spelled it out for you and you asked the same question agian in the same post. buying a car isn't something you just go and do, you look around and take time to learn. like reading the stickies and faq's on a forum and using the search function.

we get a few people "wanting an rx7", asking the exact same questions every single week.

 

with that amount of money you can get an early model 3Si (StealthTT/VR-4) or a 2G DSM (Eclipse/Talon) and can make it pretty fast relatively cheap. With 9K you could build a nutty 1G DSM.

 

Jump onto Nopistons.com and read their sticky.

 

Yea that would be a good idea but, i think hes looking to learn about rotary motors. Also there is no 91 integra gsr.

 

My bad... I was thinking BUILD DATE... Technically no, there isn't a 91 GSR..

There isn't a 92 FD in the states either... But my VIN is April '02.

And also... More than one of us answered his question. He stated himself that the rotary engine is more than he wants to get into... and asked what OTHER cars he could get for the $ he previously stated.

I tried to help... But looks like it went nowhere... AS USUAL.

 

He said so right there...

 

partic why did you say 80-20 k?...mistake? did you mean like 15-20?

 

Thinking he meant 8-20? Hell I dunno.
