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 |
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
|
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

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 |
|
with 10 thousand, you MIGHT find a stock FD in so so shape. if i were you i wouldnt jump the first opportunity at getting an fd, thats how you make mistakes....... like me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

has a grugde about something today....... twinturboteddy
It not that we dont want to help it more you need to spend more time researching. You questions are way.............NEWBIE SO Wait do you have the money for a car + 10,000 or 10,000 only? becuase if you only have 10,000 bucks Then i would suggest that you get a 300Z. RX-7 is not a poor mans car by anymeans. |
Only ten grand. Ok people, i'm not a complete newby. I know a decent amount of stuff, i'm just not trying to pretend like i do know a lot probably like a lot of people here. I know its not a poor mans car, its not like only 10 grand is going into it. I will definetly probably put another 6 grand from summer.

10k = 3rotor |
save up the 16,000 and find a car with low mileage with the mods and pay around $12,000 to 15,000.
What you dont want is a car in OK shape or a fixer uper for around 8000 to 10000, which it looks like you are leaning towards.They are a headache and you end up spending a lot more money. The extra $4000 or so will goes quick. You dont want to be looking at a $5000 to 7000 engine rebuild on top of buying the new car so milage is important. good luck. |
can you get a loan for 1/2 the car, cause then you would have some left over for tax/title/reliability mods / maintenance / insurance etc..
dont be like I used to be and forget about all the **** you HAVE to pay for just to have the car. |
Take your time and buy the car first and then the engine.
I figured I can find a blown FD for $6-7k, and the same for the rebuild (maybe with some mods, and especially if I drop it in myself) for $6-7k as well. Should be in the $12-14k given that math, and if you only have $10k, finance the rest, its not much and can build credit. Like someone else mentioned though, be ready for the fact of maintenance with such a car: Oil Tires Insurance + the initial tax and title swaps. And shipping for the engine/car if far... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |
i think u should forget a fd wit only 10k u should buy my turbo 2 i`ll sell it to u for 10k all u need is a paint job and your good to go . u could be soul number 2 .

|
oh and i would do what turbovr6said. be smart and plan for the future. invest in a house and make money off of that. other than that. 10k aint gonna get u nothing but a stock fd that will run for 3 months then sit for another year cause u dont have the money to fix it.
go with a fb or a fc. learn how to drive it before u buy it |
