Trying to get back into an RX-7

What's up guys, I signed up for this site back in 07-08 when I had an 86 FC.
Gave it away to my best friend when I moved away, and haven't really used this site since.
Lately I've been getting back into the RX mood, and definitely want another one now. Currently driving a Crown Victoria and it is definitely not my style haha.

Thought about an Rx8 for a while or waiting it out for the new rotary that's supposedly coming out next year, but for me the FC and FD are where it's at.

If youre planning on getting a project fc for a turbo swap, just save the money and buy an FD.

Since you are a VIC man..I am sort of doing something a little "close to your heart".
FC with a 302 5 speed..!

Not only will I have the looks of an RX7,I will also keep that Crown Vic Rumble..

PLUS with the "optional Rear seat of the FC"..(wait for it....)........I can still BE Pimp!...lol..

*although my "ho's" will be have to be about 34 inches tall!..(the seats were made for midgets!!!!)

Don't count on a new RX7

Welcome. I am new as well. You can look at my ride on the post titled "Eye Candy". Are you set on an RX8? try to stay true to the roots. Remember that there are only so many RX7's left. You can probably snag something that someone has already dumped the mould into. The nice thing about these cars is that most people have no idea what they are. It's nice not to have a "Belly Button" car.

Definitely not set on RX-8, much rather grab a 7 for sure.
