hello community,

my name is curtis and i live in middle TN. i am no stranger to the car enthusiast scene and have been into it my whole life. im 23 yrs young knocking on the door of being 24. i currently own a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8, and also have a fully built 1991 Honda Crx. I CURRENTLY DO NOT OWN A RX7

The evolution is and has been a great car. the 4g63 responds very well to mods and power seems almost too easy to obtain from these motors. i doubt i could ever live with myself if i ever got rid of it. Now lets get down to the basics.

im on the hunt for a rx7 92+ fd plain and simple. the evolution has always been a fav of mine but for a dream car its either the rx7 or supra and well the rx7 is more easily obtainable. in my years of driving i have only maybe seen 5 fd rx7s. all of them were stock appearing except for one, which i am sure he is prob a member here. what im planning on doing when i get my priorities in order is to sell my crx and take out another loan once the evolution is paid off and buy an rx7.

i joined this site to start my research and get in depth before getting in over my head, to find out what setups work and what doesnt, and basically to learn more about the rotory motor before i switch to something without pistons. i also would like to find out the weaknesses and strengths of the cars and what to look for as i have heard some stories about rotaries being unreliable.

any tips on where to start browsing and looking for info on the matter as in basic engine maintenance to engine tech about these cars would be appreciated and any other advice as well. thanks and wish me luck on my quest to obtain my dream car.

 

Welcome, Curtis!

Good luck with your FD search.

Cool! As you've stated already, you're doing your research. The best thing you can do is read read read. There is a lot of information on this website and you just need to dig to find your answers. Good luck!

 

thanks guys. the more i search the site the more im learning. its just different than other forums im use to in finding things. only complaint i would have so far is that alot of the threads are limited to a post count, but in a way its a good thing to make sure the communty is actively participating in order to post and make new threads.

 

im in the same boat as you except Im selling a mustang for an rx7..haha So far I found an rx7 is easy to maintain as long as your not lazy and willing to put in the hours, anyways good luck with your search I live in KY not too far from you good luck!

 

I've had my 93 RX7 for 10 years and had next to no problems with it and it gets autocrossed and track raced on weekends.
I like the turbo version, great speed and responsive handling.
Keep your eye on fluids, mostly oil, and it will give you years of fun driving.

 

always wish people luck in obtaining their dream car, so I hope you can post some pics of your new fd someday https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/nod.gif

 

may have found the dream car ive always wanted, now to work up the courage to let the evo go. this will be the tuffest decision to make ever. right now the owner is in TX but says he wants to take a look at trading when he comes back, i told him im still on the fence about trading so whatever anyone has to offer it is going to have to be damn good. I dont want to get screwed and a week later the car develop a rod knock o_O..... JUST KIDDING haha. here is the link tell me what you guys think.

nice, just bought a 94 rx7, just fits me like a glove, drives and handles like a beast

 

Look me up if you ever get your RX7. I'm looking for some buddies in the Nashville area. I don't know anyone personally selling right now tho.

 

I think the RX-7 is a great car.

 

Good luck on your search!

 

I've had my RX7 for 15 years and love it.

 

To bad you don't live in Vegas . Seems like everyone that has an fd here is getting rid of it. I think I saw a stock one for 10k or trade for a truck

 

Welcome, I agree always better to get more details before jumping into one. I just got my first FD and couldn't be more excited. Hope you find yours on here too!

 

bought my first rx7, 85 gs, welcome to the club

 

I had a 1984 model. Looking to buy a 84 or 85 again. However, when the FD first came out, I got to test drive one. What a thrill! If I could, I'd have one of each generation!

 

I just picked mine up today! Good luck on the hunt!

 

If you plan on owning a rotary.. especially a turbo one.. be prepared to spend some cash..
