Wow I never thought of it that way:d

Nice

 

Yeap, one of the sweet things about rotories., its also able to be mounted lower, for better center of gravity.

1st gens make excellent drift cars. The ass end a bit more slide happy, and it doesn't have "snap-back" effects of the 2nd gen (makes regaining traction VERY uncomfortable)

 

1st gen rx7? or are ur talkin about the FC3s "Savania" or something like that.

 

Nope he means the 1979-1985 SA22 or FB. They only weigh 2000 lbs. Not much hp though but that can be easily added. BTW about the front mid engine thing. A lot of cars these days have that including the s2000 and even the 350z!

 

I've seen those 1g RX-7's with TII and FD engines. Man can those things haul ass.

 

thier's only 3 generations of rx7 >_<
but rx7's aren't the only cars in the RX series.
lets put it this way: THE ENTIRE RX-SERIES IS POWERED BY A ROTARY

Errr, no one is disputing this....

Why the outburst? =-/

 

i just hope i can find one in decent condition.does anyone know how difficult it would be to drop a second gen. 13b into the first gen shell?

Oh, don't mind esco, he PMS' a lot. Just like other guys here. It's perfectly natural. :gaylaugh

I'm not disputing either just putting out a quick fact thats all. It's hard enough to judge someone by what thier typing on the net, it's impossible to do it when you don't even know them.

:newbie

 

if you guys see any 1st gen rx7s manuals(pref.5spd) please let me know.thanks guys(even you esco) :thumbsup

 

mmkay guys. i just talked to a guy about an 85 rx7. he lives in anniston,alabama and sounds like a real nice guy.the car is a goldish/brownish color,body in good condition,a little paint fadage. he says that there is a problem with the master cylinder and it needs to be replaced. it has under 100k miles (supposedly),5 spd,problems with front and rear windshield wipers and one of the seats has a tear in it. :eek4:

phew....does 975 sound like a good price(this is what he is asking),if not how much should i offer? :supercool

 

If I were you, I would go check the car out first. You don't know if the engine and/or transmission is burning oil or not.

You need to speak to neo, he's owned fc's before :supercool

 

I WANT AN FC but im scared about the reliability ... dont want to have to go through a rebuild

HA! You'll go through a shitload of rebuilds if you get a rotary. I'd love to get a TII and make it my DD. :thumbsup

Cheaper insurance, and cheaper to buy. :thumbsup

Not true :nono

A rotary from a reputable shop and if the owner knows hot to take care of it and maintain it, it will last you quite a while actually. N/A rotaries last forever btw.

It is true. A lot of rotary owners do go through a lot of rebuilds. Plus, many of these owners don't even bother trying to learn about it. It's not like your basic Honda B18C5 or your Chevy 350.

I almost bought an N/A FC with about 200k on the engine for about $600. All it needed is a new driverside window (someone tried to break into it). The body is flawless so is the interior.

 

i plan on going and seeing it. btw esco i dunno if this was a mistake or not buit an 85 rx7 is an fb3s not an fc3s. they are two very different cars. :thumbsup
