I have a 89' Nissan 240sx coupe and a 93' rx-7 which I've had for close to 2 years. It has 42k original miles, and no mods yet. Love the car but the stock power is getting boring, and there seems to be odd little problems here and there like tiny oil leaks and whatnot. Any info is greatly appreciated.

 

Damn son, blood red interior.

How do you like having a 240 and an FD? Other than the little stuff it's been reliable for a few years?

 

I hate the 240. I got it cause I crashed my miata and I wanted something like it but its a total nightmare. The rx-7 rules. Car handles like a dream and turns heads still. Its a car everyone should own once. And ya I havent had any horrible problems.. yet. Knock on wood.

 

The 240 definitely isn't a miata...and I've seen enough poorly built or maintained ones to know what yours could be like.

 

Nice I got the exact interior and exterior color but I swapped the red leather seats for black leather.The 2 tone interior is pretty sick!

 

I'll buy the 240 off you. What year?

 

Man bad RX-7

 

careful this site is addicting... I used to be stock (and happy) then slowly I said I'll mod it just a little... Then I don't know what happened ... One thing is for sure I'm nowhere near I pictured myself to be lol

Welcome and you have a beautiful car man!

 

Welcome you car looks nice and clean.

 

nice car mate, love the seats

 

Very Clean. Very Nice

 

looks reallly really good

 

thats because you were looking in the wrong areas. i am sure there are plenty of shiftily build 7s out there.

you are car prejudice

 

Anywhere there are cheap cars, there are poorly built ones. There were more S13s sold in the US in one year than FDs sold here total, and they're cheaper, so there are a lot more chitty ones out there. What is your point?

 

Hey thanks guys. I bought the 240 from a mexican that put a sparco sticker on the rear window, dragon floor mats, and a shotty ebay muffler. I expected probs but it was so low mileage I didnt care. For now I'm just making it reliable until I have to move to NYC then I'm selling the nightmare. I say all this.. and then catch myself shopping for coilovers for it...

 

nice ride man

 

If it's got no rust, I'll take it off your hands for 1500 to 2000$.

 

Let the modding begin!

 

I would love to start modding it. But I'm not sure where to begin. I want to keep the stock twins for a little bit longer. And I'm taking a trip from Ohio to Florida in the spring so I want it to be reliable. If you guys have any suggestions feel free.

 

Only mod your car after you spend countless hours reading about this car and hence fully understand the ramafications of each and every mod you plan to do. Otherwise you will regret it.

Here some advice on what to do first make sure you read up and understand why in such order:

1)Electronic Boost controller (NEVER BOOST PAST 10 PSI unless you have an aftermarket computer that is tuned for higher boost levels). EBC's have a built in boost gauge.
2) Downpipe
3)COLD (and I mean COLD) Air Intake (see M2 box)
4) IC (if its a SMIC make sure you have a duct for it, no duct = useless)
5)Exhaust (RB is a good one, no highway drone what so ever)
6) make SURE you are not boosting past 10 psi, no boost spikes nor boost creep.

The FD is just waiting to be uncorked. You'd be surprised what those mods at stock boost will feel like.

good luck!
