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.

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.

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.
