well it is kinda about what you are planning on doing with the car. are you planning on modding the car any? is this going to be a daily driver or a weekend car to tinker with?

are you looking for a little power? or just something to learn off of?

all these questions can determin wich one is right for you.

If you starting out in drifting, and your looking for a reliable easy to drift car. Your looking in the wrong place. I don't mean to bash your dreams or what not, but rx-7's in general take alot of money and time to build into a reliable drift car.



Your better off looking into 240sx and such.



But if your willing to invest the time and money. Rx-7s can make great drift/track cars.



Also you should do your HW before deciding what kind of car you should use before just going for it. Especially with Rx-7's



Read up on FC3Spro.com. He has a great talk about drifting and rx-7's

If you know where to look you can actually make a 7 a really good drift car but know that finding parts will be tricky. But it will not be impossible. I am doing this too. Just make sure you get tie end spacers before you start drifting... secretelement.com has them for about $80. This will make life easier on you. (call this a lesson learned the hard way.)
