To hell wiha conversion, just drive that car. $9500 seems a little steep though.

That's the downside to owning an FC, you really can't ever get NEARLY as much back from the car compared to what you put in it...like the guy said, over 25K invested...selling for 9500...he'll probably only get 8K for it.

Do what I did, I wanted to do the turbo swap into my vert, but then I found a TII (10th AE) for sale, and bought it. Now I have two 7s.

yeah but i think i want the tII vert just because its so rare. I could just swap the engines and make the old turbo an n/a. I dont know though because i could sell the na stuff and get some money for that to help pay for the conversion. RIght now my engine only has less than 10000 miles on it since rebuild. My dad doesnt understand why i would want to put a higher mileage engine in there, but i guess its a rotary thing, he wont understand until he owns one! About how much would it be to rebuild a TII?? If i got one from rx7world.com i would probably need to rebuild it because it would probably be carbon locked or something.

It'll cost you about $400 if you do it yourself w/ almost stock seals, springs, etc...or you can have somebody else do it for about $1900....



I'll sell ya my GTX block if you want a blown one.
