I've decided not to turbo swap my car. heres my new plan.

Well i decided not to turbo my car. My new plan was to rebuilt my motor and then start to save money so i can buy a turbo car next year using my income tax money..to me it sounds like a good plan because i can have both a turbo and a non-turbo car...i was thinking that since i've heard people say that n/a are more reliable than turbo one....well as to me any car is reliable as soon as you stay on top of your maintance and do what your suppose to do....the other reason is that if i do a rebuilt then it would probably last me about 5 years or so depending on how hard i push it.... i just want a reliable one right now...and get a turbo car next year..also if i have two car then i could hand down my n/a rx7 to my little brother which is still in middle school but is into car as much as my and my older brother..which im the second oldest and my little brother is the youngest...also my older brother is thinking about buying an FD so then probably me and my little bro and my older bro could be rx7 brother...but then on the other hand i would probably need a 1st gen rx7 to be complete to be call rx7 brother...haha i know this is silly but to me its kind of cool....or maybe i could get my dad intrested om Rx7 too and get him and FB..which would be funny and cool at the same time....well anyways what do you think about my plan........





Can you guys tell me any good shop that does rotary rebuilt in northern cali.....i did search and find some but i want one that does good quality rebuilt and you guys opinion to where i should go to for a rebuilt......my buget is $1500 dallor. Can you guys hook me up with a rerbult...those are just my money save up for the rx7 because i know that it will give up soon. thansks guys.2

Ouch... LOLOLOLOL

How about saving your monies instead for a honda civic or something low-key that gets good mileage and which is more reliable and won't get you into trouble; depending on the way you make it out to be of course.

If you don't take this advice into consideration, then GOOD LUCK... You'll be faced with many troubles in the future. But if you're willing to learn for your own benefit, then go for it. Just remember, it's easier said than done.

Of course, don't forget to PM wackyracer and DJDINO. They're the best when it comes to rotary rebuilds and smog hook-ups.

ITS BECAUSE OF YOU THAT HE HAS TOO MANY JOBS!! ><


Ha ha seriously though go to Karack, you may have to wait but it is worth it.

Just to chime it, while having 2 FC would be cool if you want to get a reliable car go with a civic or corolla or something like that. Better mileage and less headaches. I plan on buying my parents neon off them for my non 7 driver =P

I have an NA and a T2. its not as glamorous as you think it is.
Getting a non RX7 car in addition to an RX7 2nd gen is almost a requirement to owning one.
