Ok guys, im not new to the forum, i just dont post.. but i have a question for you ppl. I dont have an rx7 (yet) and im only 16 with a job that pulls in 200 bucks a month. but im selling my grandfathers car(dont ask me what it is i havnt seen it yet) and i want a 3rd gen, but the price range is way to out ther for me, but a 2nd gen is not, im interested in the TII. Do you guys think i should wait for the 3rd gen or just o buy the 2nd. i really dont know what to do cuz i love the 3rd gen oo so much.



and if i do get the 2nd gen what are the first mods i should get besides exhost and intake? I also want to do a 20B swap, but i herd 20bs are only automatic. is that true? and if so, is there any way to make it 5 spd?



-thanx, Chris :bigok:

I agree with banzi there.



As a beginner in the driving world, I'd suggest a na 2nd gen. Learn how to drive the car first before you decide to put mods into it. Please...... Inexperience drivers with modded cars aren't the way to go......



20b swaps are VERY expensive, imo. I don't believe they only come in auto, but I'm not sure. There is a guy on here, who's car is a 20b swap, but I forget who.



So, with that said........



Get a second gen N/A - learn how to drive first, then think about getting a more powered car.

personally i think my gsl-se is more fun to drive than the 20b even though the 20b is faster.

Well if you are looking for buying one with 200 a month, a 3rd gen isnt even in the picture. A TII is out of range also (unless you have about 5k saved up already - for car + parts). You can probably pick up a nice NA though Or get a new job...
