hey everyone, i'm new to the rx-7 club and everything. I've been lookin at some of your guys cars on here and can't get enough of them. I'm 17 and i live near Albany, NY. I have a '89 s10 now that i'm trying to sell to be able to get a second generation RX-7. I'd love to get the third gen but i'm going off to college this coming fall so i dont have that much money.

I don't know much about the rx-7 nor the rotary motor's but thats why i joined the forum, to find out about the car before i make the purchase
-the good/bad
- fc? fd?

 

anyone got any help on buyin an rx-7??

what to look for / what not..?

 

New to this site but I have owned a few. Best thing I think is to just read all you can and get lots of knowledge before you spend your money.

 

I agree with SOUTHPAW. I originally bought my FD to quickturn and sell it for a profit. I then fell in love with it and here I am 2 years later. FYI: The rotary engine can get expensive.

 

yes the rotary engine can get pretty expensive but if u hav the time to work on it urself, and the money to buy parts it is a car u can take great pride in...and they r a BLAST to drive!!! and basically i look for no rust, or as lil as possible, and check the miles on the engine u DONT want to b rebuilding ur engine 2mos afta u bought it! thats is sadly what happened to me!! but it works now...$4000 lata

 

how hard is it to work on the rotary engines? i kno how to work on regular motors but i've never worked on a rotary, i understand the concept of everything...

i kno this is a dumb question but whats the difference between fd and fc?

 

i dont kno the answer to that question...lol sry im a lil new to all the terms!!

 

anyone else here from around Albany, NY??

 

buy FD!

 

what is the difference between the 2 tho?

 

hey folks am new also to this forum. i have a1993 fd since 2004 but will be moving on till the next gen

 

am not in albany but in new york city

 

i see a lot of people from nyc, hopefully one of ya guys can point me in the right direction on what 7 to buy...i wouldn't mind drivin a ways...

 

Well, I have a great 1985 RX-7 that I may have to be selling -- can't afford to store it anymore.

 

Im also kind of new to rx7's :/ but welcome tho!

 

thanx...about the 85, im sorry but i dont really like the looks of the first gen, if i had the money i'd def buy 3rd generation. But for a 17 yr old goin off to college, the second gen looks to be about decent price range

 

Albany here, but a n00b also. Maybe picking up two rx7s this week.

 

wow 2 7s in one wk? nice

and motox im 17 too and i have a gen 2 i personally think it is more fun then a gen 3..and if money is tight either b sure u have a place to store it 4 cheap cuz rx7 engines arent cheap...no rotor engine is!!

 

alright i'll keep that in mind...


capital crew- where you gettin 2 7's from? i kno a guy who's sellin 2 7's in watervieliet that i may be also pickin up this month..

another guy i kno has a '89 7 that he may just give me!! im still workin on it tho...its been sittin for awhile so god only know's what kind of problems it could have, i was thinkin' of usin it as a parts car

 

holy crap how r u guys getting so many rx7s out there they r really rare in WI i guess!

 

I bought mine new back in 1985!

 

and what condition is it in rite now?

 

This guy is down near poughkeepsie so no worries, I'm not robbing your cars lol. I was supposed to go and look at them today but some stuff came up. Shootin for wednesday now. Good luck on that freebie man

 

Difference between FD and FC, Second generation=FC, Thrid generation=FD, always liked the FD more myself, but the FC's done right look amazing as well.

 

lol, alright good, i jus gotta wait a month to get the money, he has a '87 with a turbo motor and a '89 non turbo, i was thinkin' bout doin a swap from the 87 to the 89.

anyone got any scoop on what i gotta get or do??
