Pros and cons of a FB
hey ive searched here and havent been able to find a thread that talks about the pros and cons of a fb....i have set my mind on getting a fb so no matter what im gonna get one just wanna know
|
What kind of pros and cons??
|
Neither do I.
Ask a specific question and we might get somewhere. |
oh wow really people? i don't think it's that hard to understand.
i think he meant the pros an cons of owning and fb. i have to say for pros -light weight. -cheaper to build then fc and fd's. -done right can be a nice car. -do to many new parts for it can be a really fast car. cons -hard to find in mint condition. -chances are a lot of things have to be changed because of the age. -the specs of the car in stock shape is completely outdated to current cars . if i was ever going to build a race car only i would probably go with the fb, just because down the line if i ever wrecked i know i would be ok with it. |
Pro - Its an FB
Con - Its an FB seriously though: Pro -A very light car, power to weight is decent and can be improved readily with new parts available -You can find one pretty cheap -"cheaper to build then fc and fd's" YES cons -"hard to find in mint condition."YES -"chances are a lot of things have to be changed because of the age." -"the specs of the car in stock shape is completely outdated to current cars" ie more money to get it to perform like you want it. |

Fb's are the only factory carb'd rx7s not including the se. I would keep that in mind. If you have emissions, they should be exempt, so I suppose that is a pro. Other than that, its hard to know any pros and cons without knowing what you're going to use it for. |
sorry wasnt too specific..well i want it as a daily but i also want to make it quicker..just wondering what things usually do to age go bad on fbs? im going to afgahnistan for a year so ill do enough research over there just want to know what are comming things that mess up.. anyone have any other websites that i can search through? thanks!!
|

Since you are going to get one anyway...you should look at it this way
Pro: Its an RX7 Con: Its an RX7 |
Lighter than any other model
Easier to modify Cheaper to modify Can be made into a great performer for the fraction of an fc/fd The only fc that ever beat me in an autocross had a big V8 and the course suited it . |
Yeah, I'll say two of the cons to an FB is the lack of rack and pinion steering, and lots of steering boxes have a lot of play. But, with some $$$ and time and motivation, they're far better than a FC or FD for cost and coolness reasons (sorry FC and FD guys). On the '79 SA's you have an external regulator so that's another expensive ass thing that goes bad after a while. SA's also have some lame features, such as having the hood prop on the passenger side, no full-time voltmeter, no oil press. sender, etc. But SA's and FB's are best in my opinion, and pretty easy to work on.
