Hello guys and gals, My name is Ryan but most know me as Nebraska.Ilive in Plano Tx. Im new to the RX-7 world but not new to having fun cars. I will be picking up a 1988 turbo II car this weekend. It will need a motor and a few other thing but the price thanks to a good friend is right. My good buddy and Re-rx7 told me that you all are a great group of guys. Im sure I will be asking a lot of newbe questons.

 

Hello and welcome. Always glad to have new members.

Just remember to follow the #1 golden rule here......

Thanks for the welcome guys

 

Welcome from the south :P

 

Hey man check some of the pics out from our last meet.

 

still no wet clams posted to see......

 

Looks like you guys had a great time. Cant wait till i get to come out. I just pick up my rx-7 yesterday. Need a lot of things but Im really looking forward to the build. Not sure it will be cheaper to go with a V8 or putting back in a turbo motor. Any thoughts?

 

Well if you look at the cost of fabbing up everything the turbo will be cheaper. Plus everyone here is gonna tell ya rotary!!!

 

Jesus someone give this guy a wet clam!!

 

turbo motor will be way cheaper

 

I like drag racing so my gole will be 12's and would be great to do the standing mile at around 180 mph
how much to build a turbo to do some thing like that?

 

weather you make more power or not stuff will start to go bad, things you don't even think about...slave cylinder, bushings, tie rods, tranny bolts, axles, diff, gears, synchrony, linkage system...the list goes on. I'v recently dived into the RX thing myself and its been nothing but change this and that. I'm in the 10's but still...I'v replaced about 40+ things now and Make sure you have a healthy cash flow

 

kwerks is exactly right your dealing with a car that is damn near 20 years old, so your going to have to plan on replacing lots of worn out parts.

now assuming all your other parts are fine, an Rx7 is as pure a road racing car as you will find, so turning it into a drag car will reqire more then just power mods. with the right type of suspension settings and bolt ons a tII is a mid 13 sec car. to get into the 12s you will need a well built motor and a fresh turbo.

 

We do our best. Our meets are fairly large and the greater portion of the gang goes on a cruise after a parking lot mingle. You'll have to come by sometime.

Im look forward to coming out. sounds like a great time. how often to you have your GTG

 

once a month

 

Let me not forget that 2nd gens are prone to rust!

 

Also nebraska if you interested in motor work give brian at BDC a call he does awesome work!!

 

^ thanks man I will keep that in mind. I need to look to see what the motor is going to cost to buy one. I need so many parts. When do you get your hood back? Not that Im in a hurry or even need a hood yet but just asking
