I got a new car...not a honda
 

i know most of you guys hate them but this car is very fun to drive...its a 85 rx7 its all stock besides the 2.5 inch exaust and this ------ed intake....i had my civic and it just kept stealing all my money and didnt feel like i got anywhere with it..ya i know most cars are like that but anyway i ended up ditching the honda and i ended up with this....the ening only has 60k on it so i should have another 70 to 100 thousand left before the apex seals blow hahah but i plan on boosting it i was thinking about either putting a eaton m62 on it or maybe put blow through turbo set up using a holset or something :S..i already put a boost guage in it( ya i know its kinda rice, having a boost guage with no boost )...the only bad thing about the car is that the previous owner's grandpa wrecked into it in the driveway :S so now it has a primer black hood headligh and fender..but overall its a fun car besides pumping gas every half hour

Holy ---- dude. Finish a project before you start another

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

i finished the civic but little things would break here and their...the datsuns a project car...this a just the daily..i dont plan on working on the Z until winter :1

gAY

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

hooray for 1st gens! i have one too, and the gas mileage is a bitch aint it? fun cars though, i love mine. 60k is pretty low, you can probably throw 10 psi at it all day long. look into removing that rats nest, it's simple as hell and will give you a few extra ponies. but, only do it if you still need to pass emissions.. mine is too old :-*

talk to kain about performance, he knows his ----.

and make sure you check out www.rx7club.com TONS and TONS of good info.

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

im sorry you feel that way :S

i dont care what anyone else thinks i like it....i just posted it because i thought id share my new ride with everyone..its nice to see what kind off cars other people have...hmt isnt just for hondas :8

your just mad because it only takes me 3 mins to change my oil :6

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

i was looking at that site lastnight very cool stuff, i think im actually going to supercharge this car i have an electric fan the where the old one used to bu would be a perfect spot for the supercharger pully and i dont have a/c so where th a/c was i was going to mount the supercharger and and mod the old a/c braket to fit the blower..also how hard is it to tune carbs for boost?...oh ya i dont have emissions either O0

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

remove that rats nest, and replace that giant blog called a catylitic converter with a straight pipe- and now your ready to shoot flames!

with a draw through (turbo or supercharged) where the carb is on the intake side of the blower, there isn't really any tuning needed. however for turbo, if you want to run an intercooler you gotta mod the carb.. but it's like a trade secret and only a few people know how to do it. like seriously, i've searched EVERYWHERE and there's one guy on that forum that does it for $400 :1 what a dick, and all it is, is like adjusting the float levels and something with the jets.

im converting to EFI w/ megasquirt :y

and are you sure those z rims will fit? the bolt pattern is like 4x109 i think.. it's a hella weird pattern, very limited choice on rims.. im just gonna paint the stockers

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

no im sure its 114.3..thats what the Z is....they'll fit i seen a few on rx7 club.com with datsun mesh rims on them...well to search and find the supercharged legacy wagon...their is a way you can run a roots type blower using an intercooler and bov...you have to make a few custom charge box's..it would be the exact same set up ar using a turbo...also i have a guttet cat and a stight 2.5 inch with a flowmaster exaust it sounds badass :y..and it shoots little flames about 4 inches from the pipe :6

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

i like rx7's, always wanted one or a supra, but went with my civic because of price differences lol. im not digging the old carb'd engine. i think thats the first thing that would go and upgrade to the 13b. can you do that in the first gens?

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

hey turdbo ill give you $200 for the rx7 :P I might have found a cheap SBC :)

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

look on ebay right now theirs a guy with a 4.9 cobra v8 in a first gen O0..he want like 30g's for it though :S

well most guys upgrade to a 13b but still run the carb setup...i gues it in some points its better than efi..where i dont know but iv seen many first gen with carb'd 13b's..i like old school jap cars so this and my Z are just fine for me :y

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

exactly, so hand over the keys, biatch :) lol

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

ok hahah wanna go on pinks with me?

maybe i'll steal your car..because 200 would be a steal...im not selling it sorry nig nog...but hey when are the next flashlight drags?..i'll take it up their :y

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

600cfm holley carb + porting is an 11 second car O0 :y

13b swaps are very doable, and can be had complete for like $1500 (trans, wiring, ecu, injectors, etc)

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

put a small block in it.

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

I made almost that much power with a junkyard ford 2.3 in mine. http://www.eville140.com/rx7.html

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

---- that, keep the rotary and boost it. I'd say 20b, but you'd have to be a rich bastard to afford one. Supercharged 12a's kick ass.

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

seriously, the only difference between the 12a and 13b is rotor size (13b is 20mm bigger), so its like comparing a D16 to a D15. the 12a is the underestimated cousin to the 13b :P

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

LOL basically

There's a better picture for you. I guess we both live in the same area, I was going to buy it but I don't have the means and I definately don't need another project. Good luck.

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

Cool I had a 82 GSL 12A and a 84 GSL SE 13B.Those are super fun cars and are great for empty parking lot donuts.The sad part is either of those RX7's was twice as fun to drive even stock then any of the turbo Hondas I've owned :'(

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

watch out kain might start humping your leg

Re: I got a new car...not a honda
 

I use to have an 83 and it was fun as hell. I had to sell it cuz I didn't have a title to it. I miss that car so much. I am going to buy another one someday.
