Just curious, but does any1 even drive an s4 sport, or s4 GTU or s5 GTUs? i'm beginning to think the only rx7s left are trubo iis and convertibles.. haha there like a million verts on autotrader.

btw. the lightests fc's. in order are

86 sport, 87 sport, 89 GTUs, 88 GTU.

yes? no? sorry, i can't quite remember, so i thought i'd ask while on the topic.

cheers.

 

I drive an FB. That's a very light NA.

 

one of my friend drives an S5 GTU,my other friend drives an S4 Sport, while i drive my S4 GXL 2+2 .... :P its pretty cool seeing all 3 together on sat nights up at hastings(in tri-cities/3C)...:P

 

well i drive an 86 sport its quite gutted as well so its quiet light for an FC, its not NA anymore though , but it still has a na block... heh heh

 

hey does it have power steering? i was looking through the specs and the option wasn't listed for the 86' na.

is the power steering the reason for the 75lb difference? seems a lot..

 

yes mine had power steering and AC origionally

 

hmm yeah ps was standard on sport model in 87, mine might be from late 86 or somtehing

 

didn't you blow that motor on route to ABF?
or was that a different one?

 

i did, but now i have another high milage engine in it hahaha

 

how much did you get ur car for komp?

i'm thinkin that's exactly what i need to find. so i thought i'd ask. light s4 with a/c n' p/s ^^

my friend came down from b/c once to drink with us n' i had to drive him back to my place in his civic with no p/s. i had no idea what i was getting myself into. it's actually really cool, reminded me of driving a go-kart, but not for me.

 

well i picked up my sport for 100 bucks with a blown motor in it.


and then i had picked up a 87 sport shell for free a yr ago, but i traded that one away last month for some parts

one benifit on the rx7 with PS is that the lock to lock ratio of the steering is alot shorter like 2.7 vs 3.5 or osmethimn like that... so u can turn with " flick of the wrist action" alot easier on a ps rx7

 

damn man. i needa get out more n' find these 3-digit deals. **** man. haha.

 

haha all my cars are in the 3 digits,
i got a running 87 t2 for 700,
88 base model with a t2 swap running for 500 ( needed driveline),
and then a 89 gtu for 800, needed door handle and a window regulator.)

just gotta look around

 

lol another high milage engine eh?
do you atleast have a rebuilt in the works for a low milage turbo car?

 

I drive a S5 GTU N/A. Swear it's the only true S5 in WA...

 

mines more rare! !! i have a real 89 s5 and its a CANADIAN MODEL HAHA, if u go to the meet ill show u the amazing differences between the us and canadian s5's



yeah this new motor has 155K on it and in only running 9 psi right now...

yeah i am working on building a motor, but ive been lazy latly.

 

ahh gotcha.
and dont worry i understand that i have been working on my car for a while now.....
and my 91s just badass, it may not be rare but its badass.

 

i have a heavy *** 88gxl, god damn power everything, and i also have a project 89 gtu thats gutted

 

???? so what's the difference between the american n' canadian one? a good friend of mine is from b/c. mb he can hook me up! hahaha.

 

well mine is a real 89 s5,black on black,

but it has manual seat belts! then it also has s4 style power mirrors, and the fog lights are setup as day time running lights, when u put ebrake down they come on...

but u see i hate the power seat belts, so im glad it had the regular ones

 

hell yea to the no power seatbelts.

 

I drive an 89 gtus with a turbo swap

 

ahhhh! lucky! haha. curious how much'd you pay for your gtus? i would really love to get one, but not because of the whole.. rareness thing, but rather because its a light n/a car.
