<![CDATA[Wondering bout 93 rx-7]]>I was thinkin bout maybe lookin into a 93-95 rx-7 this comin up summer, I firured i'd through it out here and see what people thought of them as far as the good, the bad and the ugly about them, and as far as mods go on them. So if you guys have anything to say bout them lmk because idk to much bout them. Figure it will help me decide if I really want one or not. thanks

I agree with wes, no offense man, but it's not a honda and u cant just throw stuff in it. Ya fergus has a pretty lame ass scene...bout the only imports that dont just have fart cans and ghetto intakes are wes's miata, ur del sol, my new crx when it's done, and josh's ek when it done...which i'm sure will give pretty much kill everything and fergus and give a lot of cars up here a run for their money...I wish the scene could grow but the mentality in fergus is too ignorant and cheap to do any real stuff to their cars...If you do get a 7 lmk if you ever need help, idk a whole lot about fd's but know quite a bit about the turbo 2's....

My car was the same way as Matt can attest to, after replacing vaccume lines and doing a emissions removal the car literally probably gained 50-75hp, (on the butt dyno i know) but it was amazing what it did. The first time i got on it after warming it up and after the vaccume line replacement session i thought I blew it up it was so much faster.

That will simplify the vaccum and emissions shit on that car like you wouldn't believe. They start w/ over 100 vaccum lines, and you can get it down to less than 20 easily. 2. yank out the wiring harness and give it to me, so it can be simplified by removing all the unnecessary plugs and wires one the emissions stuff is gone. Then it can be nicely taped back up and re-loomed. The heat in the engine bay of the FD is ridiculous and makes all the connectors, wires, tape, etc very very brittle. So also plan on spending some time/money on keeping the engine bay a little cooler.

Oh, I completely agree. I love the FD's as well and their potential is amazing.

what i am trying to say is they are very simple cars if you want to take the time to learn them, a fucking blind monkey could rebuild a rotary engine

I see your point, i just dont want him totally scared off from the idea of owning a 7

Which youve proved overwhelmingly that you have an abundance of. But, not everyone else does. And it's not just the engine I'm referring to as far as cost goes. but the whole car. You have to admit that the 2nd gens are far easier and cheaper to get parts for than the 3rd gens.

And again, I still think he should get one. Just be prepaired.

I have a REW in my car, it cost me 500 (with the cost of the block) to build this engine, and i could rebuild it for less than 400 when i break it apart again, and it has been through more abuse than anyones, and it runs still

and a properly tuned rotary is just as reliable or more as any other engine trying to push close to 3-9 hp per cubic inch, i dont see many reliable 2600hp v8s roaming the streets

and at any rate a rx7 is an awsome platform whether v8 or rotary powered...
right parker:)............. the reason i stay with a rotary is because i am retarded and need an engine with only 3 moving parts

MOST IMPORTANT, it is rotating the right pair of wheels and the engine sits the right direction

the other thing is you have to have realistic expectations for the vehicle. if you're looking at a 93, that is a vehicle that is almost 15 years old now. certain things are going to need attention and replacement after that kinda age, and once the mileage starts to get up there on them.

however, I'm very impressed with my car. my 424whp @ 18psi, stock motor, and is taking it very well. enough power to have alot of fun with, especially in that light of a vehicle.

This is a very misinformed idea of them. Ive had one, and tried to break it and it wouldnt go, Zac's has held up to a ton of abuse just fine. If you get a good one, with good compression, and that has been taken care of, they are just as reliable as any other higher horsepower car. You make a ton of power over stock and what do you expect? the car to behave like it would stock?
