Arrow Well.....

Well....you guys talked me out of buying an rx-7. I am actually kinda glad you did, i would probably just kill myself in it I am gonna stick to my Cavalier and try to put a V8 into it...unless you guys know of any rotary conversions Although i still love the rx-7 it must still remain my dream car. Anyone have an older S-10 for sale that I can turn into a lowrider??

BuckNutty

PS Thanks for all the help, you guys are the best

Well then get yourself prepped up. This way, when the time comes to buy an RX-7, you will be ready.

Just don't go for a ride in a turbocharged RX. You may begin to reconsider

Nah.....RX-7's are T3|-| shiznit mang. I love the looks and from what i hear the performance is really tough to beat. I just feel that for the money i would spend on an FD i could swap a nice v8 into my cavalier and cha chi it all out n whatnot Plus i have always wanted a lowrider, gotta love the hydro's I will own an FD one day.....for now i shall just drool all over the pics of all yours (

There is no V-8 that is gonna go in that Cavalier, my friend....
Not even an old Buick (later used by Triumph in there Stags and TR8s) all aluminum 3.5 liter will work....and even if you COULD cobble something together....the torque would be unacceptable in a front driver...

If you want something fast, Buy a Z28 or a Trans AM, I am selling a 94 T/A for $6000. It is almost as fast as an RX7, and it is a hell of alot more reliable than the 7.

Yeah. If you get a camaro derivative get one soon, because I don't the the front drive models on the way are going to go over too well. So I think you would get the best price now.

But I still love Rx-7's. . . If you save up your money you could think about getting the long rumored 4th gen in a few years.
