Hi my name is Shinji or Joey. I don't have a Rx-7, but I finally looking purchasing at one and I test drove it's a 94 Rx-7.

 

I'm gonna go with 'Joey'...what part of Texas you call home? DFW area? Houston? Austin? You're def going to want to hook up with the locals who have FD's to get some pointers...?

I'm in D/fw area. woot but I really wanna know is motors positive and negative sides on fd motors.

 

hey welcome im a noob too looking to get my own 7 real soon... cant find a nice one tho

 

Welp, I'm a 1stgen guy, so I'm not going to be much help...this is just the intro section anyway. Hit the New Member tech section and do some searching there, I'm sure that field has been plowed already. The other option is to hit up these guys this Saturday at the rotary meet at the Cheddar's parking lot on LBJ freeway...here's the link to the thread where the usual crowd keeps bouncing around on who is going to show up or not. There's several FD owners and even some serious rotary tuners who show up for these monthly events.

howdy and welcome lol im new too but i feel the need to say hi

 

On the FD side of things, If the car has the stock twins, check for some reliability mods.

Pre-Cat Removal
Aftermarket Radiator
Cat-Back
Metal AST or Del

The above are about as far as you want to go without some sort of aftermarket ECU.

The REW motor is good to about 100K if they are drove normally (Beating on it daily) but if you find a car that was taken care of really well, then 150K is normal.

Just buy one with the mind set that you are going to rebuild it... It is cheaper to rebuild it before it blows.

If the motor blows then you are out a Rotor (possible), Rotor Housing, Pri or Sec Turbo. This can be over 1K if you are in a hurry.

 

thanks, diffently will check out the meet.

 

hey noob from austin here too just got my step dads 10 year turbo lets see if i can get it running

 

I love the third gen, It's such a beautiful car.
