Well this is simple. I am new, but have had the 3rd gen been my dream car since i was about 11 years old. I'll have about 10 grand by april. I want to get a 3rd gen but be able have a nice reliable engine, but have a decent amount of mods, or whatever you suggest... Just tell me what i can with 10 grand...

10grand? That is alot of lap dances!!





Bascially for 10k I would go single turbo. That is relaible enough for me

JimmyJimboJet 09-21-2003 06:00 PM

do you have an FD yet? if not, you should be able to find one with a blown engine, maybe even one without one. get a reman with rebuilt with a streetport for ~10k

daydreamer 09-22-2003 06:37 PM

No I do not have one yet. I remember seeing several FD's for about 4 grand with several mods, just no engines. With that i'm sure there's lots of options, I just don't know how often I can find one like that for 4 grand.

put a deposit on a house, rent it out, watch the cash flow in and build a really nice FD https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Give me 5k and I will help you spend the rest.

I would by a fd that is in very good condition with no engine in it. Then all you have to do is by a reman and have a port job done to it, then if you still have money witch you should you could go single. The key is to be patient, good luck.

Yea exactly. What I need to do is get in contact with people around the Northern Virginia area and learn as much as possible. I really need to know how possible it really is to find hopefully a 93 or preferably 94 FD with some aftermarket parts (either suspension, looks or engine) in good shape all around with no engine for about 3-5 grand. Anyone around the Northern Virginia Area looking to help someone over the next 5 months would be awesome. Heres my AIM: blahblah38492 and my e-mail deviantrapture@hotmail.com

Also another thing.. i'm looking to learn more first.. i only know more on history of the RX-7 than specifics... if that helps

daydreamer 09-23-2003 10:01 AM

What do people here not help newcomers anymore?

About every 100K the engine goes and about 10K to 20K later the turbos go also. try to get a low milage car around 50K to 60K.

Look for cars with a downpipe and ungraded AL radiator.



I would spend buy



lowering springs new coil overs with stiffer sway bars.

about $2K

this mod takes the rx-7 from being a great car to a race level



Anytype of larger intercooler

$1k to 1.8K

stock intercooler just way to small + extra HP + prevents detonation





Silicon hose job $500 to 900

go to rxforyour7.com for the hoses $65

prevent twin turbo trouble before it starts





HKS CDI ignition $450 to 550

pass emission without a worry + increase HP, MPG





short shifter $200

prevents 5th synchro grinding







the rest save or do what you want until the engine goes.







go to rx-7store.net they have good prices
