welcome!!! you get a newbie noogie!!! hahaha

so how does it feel to be here?


Feels better to be driving it, there's nothing like an RX-7 : )



I am calling local body shops and such, trying to see what they can do to get a '93 kit look on my '87. Yea i should be more worried bout the motor, but its gotta look good too. Problem is i live in one of those areas where everybody's parents buy and hook up they're lil civics and rice burners.



It drives me nuts because i know i could smoke em if i had a motor i could trust to run a 1/4 and still go to work with. I saw one that was race ready for 1200, never run, but if 500 gets it running now then that seems like my best option.



I'm also the kind of person who believes NOS is the loser way to make your car look badder then it really is. If your car is all you hype it to be, you don't need NOS lol.



I grew up around racing and stuff, my dad has a few cars:



1982 Limited Collectors Corvette, 350, CAL induction, straight pipe exhaust.



1981(mightbe 82) Camaro, 454 Full blown, biggest cam he could get, everything but NOS.



and of course my RX-7. Which i may add was blown up by my father haha. That we know of it only needs APEX seals but neither of us have veer worked on one and it seems the better way to go with a rebuilt/new motor. Whats it usually run to have one rebuilt?

if you have the knowledge between your father and you to build a dune buggy, as well as the tools, then you should be able to rebuild a rotary, one of the strong points is it simplicity, it has what? 3 moving parts, and 8 for the block total? or therabouts, not sure, havn't needed to do any rebuilding myself yet, hopefully won't have to for quite a while. ask vosko, he has rebuilt and swapped more TII engines than anyone on the planet

We have the tools for sure, we even have a car lift



I have a total breakdown on the motor and what not, i'll have to pm him and ask what type of rebuilds he did and his average cost.
