RX-7 are shitty pieces of ----, only ricers and geeks who arn't cool buy them.

What on earth are you talking about? My neighbor has an 89 RX-7 (NA) and it kicks everyone's *** around here. The only kid I know who has beaten him had a hella modified 99 Civic Si (Rich kid with virtually no limit on money). He's putting the turbo RX-7 engine in soon, and my sis's bf is sticking a small block chevy (400) in the RX-7 he just got. They're not even close to being shitty cars.

you must live in ------- mexico, if a na rx-7 is beating people around there, then everyone must drive **** VWs. even with a street port and exhaust, hte NA-s are still 16 second cars. A stock turbo FC will run 15 seconds witha ok driver. To do any mods, I mean any mods at all to a RX-7 FC, first you need a rebuild (cause the motors tend to be shitty after 30 000 on the odometer) the after the rebuild, you NEED a standalone(haltech is a good unit) then you can start working on it, you also need a new rad cause you car will overheat with any mods(or even stock) if you do exhaust or almost anything to the NA, you gotta wire the secondaries open, and if you do anything to a Turbo II, then you gotta weld on a new wastegate flap and port the wastegate.
not to mention the stock injectors suck ***, absolute ***, they leak, they cause the rx-7 to flood, and with exhaust/intake/port you need bigger injectors.

all FC have a 3800 rpm stumble, they all flood, one ping and you blow your apex seals, the elctrical systems in them are ------- retarded, they get HORRIBLE HORRIBLE gas milage, are expensive to mod, they overheat like crazy, you need a full standalone to do anything, top mount intercoolers suck ***, and the oil squirters in them are even more gay so if you want them to last in a high HP situation, you have to run premixed like in a 2 stroke. they handle like ----, are not easy to drift, and they are basicly heavy POS.

they basicly suck ***, I have never owned one but from what I've read on rx-7 club, and from what my geeky ricer friends have had happen to them, I am absolutely sure they suck ***.

also, The FCs are ugly as ----, the turbo 2 hood scoop ain't even in the middle of the hood, it just looks fucked up, also, you will not pick up chicks in one either, trust me.


Now people who put v8s in them, thats pretty pathetic if you ask me, they FC will handle like even more ---- with a V8, they will get better gas milage, be more reliable and pretty much be a better car then a stock FC, but you could have a way better/reliable car if you just stuck the motor in an old mustang/camaro/muscle car.

where did you get those 1/4 mile times from? if i got one the first thing i'd do is stick a fluidyne in it cause from the little bit i know heat=death for rotaries.

it wont pop if you take good care of it and replace what needs to be replaced. also, most rotaries dont show any signs of them about to die. they simply die. your running fine, and compression is good, then, poof, you got a blown apex seal. but you can get an array of different apex seals and they will be customs for what you want. but after 18 years, mine is fine and is runing stong. but it is starting to flood so i should do a rebuild when i come back from greece. hopefully i would only need to change the ahpes and cide seals and oil and coolant seals and some gaskets and ill be fine for another 100k miles. and spenser, wtf are you talking about, if i put a streetport on my car, it will automatically go into the 15's. if i get an intake and a full exhaust, that would put me into the 14's... and most turbo ]['s run 14 to 15 secconds with slight modifications.

kain...those 1/4 miles numbers look a little better. how much would that rebuild cost you? yea before i do any major performance parts on the car im going to clean it up real good and make it really dependable.

There are plenty of rotary forums out there that you need to tap into, you're fucked if all the "good" advice you are getting is from kain. Spensor seems to be bitter towards them, some people are.

As I recall, a sbc swap into a 2g rx7 gives the car a 50/50 weight distrobution, a few companies offer kits to do such a thing if you want to.

i was readin up on rx7club.com earlier before i started this thread and i just wanted some advice from people that arent completely in love with them. i just registered today on rx7club.com's forum so far it looks prety good and i think its gonna be able to answer most of my questions w/o me even having to post(which is great).

quadnie

suprisingly most forums are like that, I only post here all the time cause I'm a post -----.
