What-up, Rotary-Heads!?! :)
I'm thinking about getting a lil' First Gen. Rx7 for drift and daily driving (I wanna park the Z). What are your veiws on this lil' rotary car? I'm thinking old-school, simple and cheap here. And I'm hoping they are mod-friendly? Does anyone have a first gen. 7? What are common problems? Pros and cons. As far as my knowledge goes on the first gen., I believe they have the 12A engine? I'm pretty much a newb... so all info would be appreciated. HP? TQ? How much power can you get outta that lil' engine? Are engine swaps do-able? Blt-ons? Other than the first gen., I'm also looking at FC's and older Z's... Though my bro has an FC and some nice mods... I'm not sure I want the same car as he. And I know Z's are very powerful cars and I know alot about them so you don't have to comment on those. Thanks!

i would say a 240-280z those are really nice.
the 1st gen is said to be the most reliable, but the steering sucks, so convert it. as for specs, google is your friend.
i would look for a gsl-se, which has the 13b, but the others have the 12A.
