Well, it seems as though you've made uo your mind to purchase a TII. Couldn't agree more, but finding one in decent shape may be quite a problem. If excellent condition, people are asking a great deal of money. If rough, you can buy fairly inexpensive, but will cost a lot of money to get fixed. Your choice.

Welcome to NP.



Find one that's bone stock and leave it that way for a while, engine-wise anyway. Then as you learn what's what with the turbo rotary and all it's nuances, you can begin the inevitable upgrade path.



Cheers

I think you should research alot first. This forum has tons of info, and if you don't find wat u need, theres like a million more forums. You might wanna learn about wat u should and shouldn't do to a t2, or wat is really the difference between na and t2, its not just the turbo. I got my NA for $800 and after about another $1800 I run in the 14's on 1/4 mile. So, i'm sayin you should research both cars, and see wat you can do to both and the cost factor. And you say you're driving for the first time, meaning your like 16, and you want a cool car to show your friends and all that, the only thing you should really worry about is how to fix your car. Things will break on a car over 20 years old, and you better hope you can fix it, cuz parts aren't cheap.

Thanks guys...... I have done alot of research on these cars cuz i been in love with them since i was like 8 years old when i first got into my Cousin Turbo 2 that was running 378hp. After that day i've been in luv with them but yea i know rotories love to be a hooch andMake u love them or hate them u jus gotta treat them ryte. But the N/a and T2 wise.... Well from what i read in Rx-7 club before when it use to be its own form but i've read that you really cant do anything to The N/a becuz there r jus built that if u would like Change sumthin its like remodifing the whole engine and stuff and form what i research The N/a seems like a Civc....... I dont wanna put like close ot 2 gz in a car and only running 14's that wou;d jus make me fall asleep and feel dumb for showin a rotary engine like that When i almost spent 2gz..... Cuz i know the 13b in a t2 is like A integra type-r Running Mid 14's Jus Stock and aorund the street they cost like what 3gz??????..... Well in florida they do.... But i jus wanna know one thing do they break really easy? like i dont have a problem... Fixing it but if its gonna break like everyday and be a lil bitch and not work then. Ill jus go with a simple car but no matter what imma end up with an rx-7 lol.... But if u guys could teahch me a few things on what the pros and cons about the Turbo 2 are thjat would be great........







But i will say this **** That felix Wankel guy really did Sumthin that is jus hella crazi a 1.3L Kickin the **** out of Domestic cars which r lke V8's thats pretty ****** bad........ Like a 450hp= a 800hp depending on how heavy the engine is on a Rx-7... am i ryte??????<-------- i know im with that one....... But over the summer imma see whiich car to aim for an i wanna know now which car i should aim for.....

well don't count on beating too many v-8's with a stock t2. Stock they run 15.2 and I can't find one near me for less than 3.5-4g's.



For N/A's you don't have to tear down the engine to hit 14's, i havn't. and stock times for NA is like near 17.



Are you trying to get a car so you could race 1/4mile? cuz thats the only reason i'd ever compare any honda to an rx-7. becuz my buddies civic hatch can beat my brothers FD all day in the quarter mile, but when we autocross, my times are faster than both of theirs.



And do they break easy... well one day I went outside and pulled on my pass. side door handle and it just broke. No warning. and One day I was driving in the rain, and coincidentally my wiper switch stopped working. But this is just me. I take great care of my car, but things will break, most of the time its more of things just stop working. But its nothing that can't be fixed easily. as long as you know how to fix your car, you'll be fine. You gotta expect something to break sometime.



Since you kinda have your mind set on a t2, research the basic upgrades. What not to do, and wat to do, and also what needs to be done for one thing to work. Like racing beat exhaust and an FCD = (from what i've read) BOOM! So theres a lot to be learnt.

id say get a gslse and use that to learn on. the car is pretty quick and quite a bit of power can be had by just upgrading the exhaust and other little things. mine is basically stock and its faster than my vert
