just thought id drop in and say hello.. so uhmm

hello https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png ive been reading about/ interested in rx7s for a few years....



currently i drive a 91 civic hatch with a ZC swap.... and i;m planning ( if all goes well) to finally get an rx7. front wheel drive is getting boring quick. i found a fb with 75K original miles on it..... thats pretty much it.



im looking forward to my stay https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Get the FB!!! It's the best car ever!! (Ok, maybe I'm biased a tad)

But seriously, I don't understand the dilemma? everyone needs the rotary power, some people just don't know it yet!

Check out the first gen forum for everything you ever wanted to know about SA/FB's!

yeah i plan on it... but im a bit leary becasue someone decided it would be a good idea to go apeshit on the pilot bearing with a dremel.. and i;m praying they didnt gouge up the e shaft or anything....:(

Get a different FB then!! UGH!

Is this one special in some other way that warrants a second look? lol

claytonsmith 03-26-2004 01:04 PM

haha yeah man its special. for a couple reasons.. it only has 75K on it.... and that appeals to me.. just so i can say " it only has 75K on it." ( yeah im aware that 75k doesnt = good motor)... i can trace the car back to 1986.. because odly enough i found out that it used to belong to my best friends dad.....



oh and lastly it's $600... with the stock port motor in it.. and a SP block ( supposadly has a stuck apex seal?!?!?) it runs but idles high due to someone "removing" ( ie causeing vacum leaks) the rats nest. oh and did i mention.... its $600..





thats the main reason im so focues on this particular car.. cause well.. im poor... a lot poor.. really poor..college sucks :( but in this case... i can make enough $ selling my turbo parts for my civic in order to buy the FB



so theres that explanation https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif
