Rx-7 Information
Hello. I am 17 and thinking about buying a 1993 rx7 to fix up and treat it like my babe. Um I have a concern about what I have heard on the net. I first wanted a supra 96' but like the way rotary is a lot smaller and smoother. but.....
1. I heard that it has a problemb with blowing. 2. Also problemb with heat.. but I can deal with that. 3. Main one Breaks down a lot. If you can give me some help to change my mide and let me know every thing is cool with the car.... I would like it.... Also I will be putting: Twin T78 Turbos on it. Toyo Radiator. And lots more.. Thank you, Jace |
Plan on spending lots of money, the rumors you hear are true.
|
....
So should i got with a supra or a rx7
|
the rx7, but start out with an fc (86-91)
|
Why get one of those when you can put that on a down payment on a hardly used RX8 or new. You can find a nice RX8 sports package for 23 atleast. Check autotrader. But mainly, in your shoes in all honest umm...start with a casket ;)
|
well
Well 2 things 1 I cant go over 10k and 2nd I dont like the rx8 all i like is the 93'
|
With 10k you are not going to find an FD thats worth it if thats all you have to spend. You'll need money saved for fixing it and whatnot, and 10k is simply not enough for an FD. Sure you may find one, but unless you are REALLY lucky, a 10k FD is most likely not the best choice to go with unless you have an extra couple grand sitting around to fix stuff with.

I can do that but I dont really like the body styles below 93.. I know how to do all the work my self I just need to get the car fisrt under 10k

Why don't you drive a rotary powered car and find out for yourself which car you will buy. Only you can make the decision. Be warned though that an RX will be costly to maintain. Better off you pick up the Supra, IMO...
|
10k, expect around 13+ preferrably around 16 for a good FD, then another 2k set aside for immediate reliablity mods, then some mroe money set for future work on the car(this will come very fast)
as someone previously stated start with an FC because the FDs are pieces of shit in terms of reliablility, its really only suitable as a second car. |

Going with the fact that you are 17 and the quality of your posts thus far, it would seem you are not fit to be driving any car, let alone FD3S.
|
Hey man, the best advise I can give you is save up a little bit more cash that way you can get your FD. I know what our going through I bought my FD when I was 17, I paid 14,500. It had 50,000 miles at the time and its the R1 model.
|
supras are even more expensive than fd's nowadays
listen to the advice of experienced people. go w/ a nice fc, they're excellent cars, cheap and real fun and can be quite fast. if you can't go over 10k then fd's no good for you; you'll buy one for 8 grand and blow the motor on the way home. if you have 20k than you can pick up a well-conditioned fd w/ all the reliability mods and everything in order, but you can't put on your t78 turbo's w/o investing thousands more, or otherwise you'll blow the motor on the way to school |
Buy a 1st gen and drop a t2 motor with a streetport in it. You'll be strait.
|
youre goin to be putting twin T78 turbos on it eh?
and a Toyo? wow ull be flying :rolleyes: |
