bought a RX-7

So ya the title says it all...its not a cool rx like a 93 or anything...its a first gen 83' rx7...nothing special has the 12A motor...so its slow...its a 5 speed GSL model...good shape. no rust..two dents..800 bucks...thought it was a good deal so i picked it up...will have pics posted by end of the week

We used to have one of those it was faster than my s14 I dont know what engine it had in it i know it was a rotary and it was not turbo.

Remember you have to take into account of who saying it is slow someone driving a 13.** second 240 with a SR is gonna think almost any stock car is slow.

lol...nah it really is slow...its not running 100% quite yet...going to do a tune up on it. then hopefully it'll run good. in the process of stripping the paint off it and repainting it flat black right now...it was ugly Gold with gold leafing...ick

And actually it should be the other way around...i havent driven my 240 for over a month now...i should start to think everything is fast...becuase everything is faster than walking...and my wifes lumina...

ahh a lumina huh thats almost as bad as logiks topaz he had hahaha

yea all of those are faster but look at the price tags on all of them. take the 3k i spent on my cat plus the 5k i have invested in the sr swap and upgrades thats 8k so give me another 22k like they spent all ill smoke all those cars. so sure they are faster but they are all more expensive and newer. and im pretty sure a porshe 944 is slower haha. so look at the money spent to be fast ratio the ka-t or sr is a good buy for the speed u get

Notice how monooxide said "a 13 second SR" not "a stock SR".

thats all well and all but hes 13's w/ tens of thousands less why can u just stop being an ass and say congrats. and although in south florida they may be common place they are still high end cars whether or not u see them everyday or not.

They are common place because soflo is packed with rich people, like sideways said, stop being an ass.

Get over ET.

oh yea SR20DETPOWERED if you were around more often then to quickly shove a LS-1 in peoples faces in lots of threads you might know that driftking has something called a modded SR.

please edit that to make it so you really never said that
"MOST SR SWAPS ARE 15 - 14.5 SECOND CARS" -SR20DETPOWER

YOU ARE A GOD DAMN LIAR 99% OF PEOPLE THAT SWAP AN SR DO OTHER SHIT TO GO WAY UNDER THAT. ITS FAIRLY UNCOMMON TO SEE SR SWAPS HOW MANY HAVE YOU HONESTLY SEEN THAT RUN 15 SECONDS?????????

2 More things.

1. cool on picking up an rx-7. how much of a project are you going to make it?

2. god damn it SR20DETpower reading your post made me dumber for this IQ test im about to take!!

lol...as of right now...its going to be my get around car until i can pick up the 2002 wrx im possibly buying...but after that...im thinking about doing a 3 rotor 3rd gen b13 swap :)

Maybe its jsut me but isnt the B13A a 2 Rotor engine and the B20A is the 3 rotor...I think im right but I dont know.

yup..sorry your right my bad...anywho..a 3rd gen swap...im just getting into the whole rx-7 thing...dont worry guys..i will never turn my back on my 240...lol

btw the car already has limited slip and the i'll take pics of the motor later..but the motor is clean...

What color are you painting it?

lol...probably going to go with flat black...becuase im un original and i like black alot better than gold...im going farthest color from gold

haha, black would probably be it then.

yea its going to be a good ol rattle can job...my fav...but thats ok...like i said its just my daily beater until i can get some rims and a turbo for my 240...and my wrx...an no...i dont make that much money

I have no tires, LSD, or wheels and I cut a 2.09(13.404) 60'. Its not impossible to run low 13s on stock rear end setup. I'm trapping constant 105s and one freak 107 so I have potential for 12s... Ironically to my argueement, I need traction. But the hell with it. Power>traction. I prolly have $5k under the hood. If I had went this route from the beginning(not bought a lot of unneeded shit), I'd be at prolly $3500 or so. So I would have spent total $6500. I don't regret it either.

The one SR I saw at the track had a pretty huge FMIC and the rest was stock. He was running 14.4s at like 94-95mph iirc. ET doenst' matter. MPH matters.

BTW, I'd go flat black too. I will if my paint ever gets fucked up.

ok all im saying is ive never seen an SR swap without FMIC and boost upped by at least a little bit with all the extras (clutch, FMU, etc.) which is 13's at 100+

Tru, but since we were talking power, MPH is more of an indicator. IE:

Ricer1 is talking BS
Ricer2 is too.
Nissanfanatic is listening.

Ricer1: Y0 d4wg, dat5 a 13 second car!!11
Ricer2: Nah Y0, its a 95mph trap car cuz tr4p sp33d is prop0rtional to power adn car w3ight Y00!!!111
nissanfanatic:click here to see what nissanfanatic did! (http://nissaninfiniticlub.net/photopost/data/500/19378pirate2.jpg)

LOL you might have too much time on your hands fanat. haha.

i just love how sr20detpower makes all these arguments with no proof or facts or anything. he says he 'thinks he heard somewhere some stock sr 240s running 15s or 16s'
wtf kind of argument is that

sr20detpower...word of advice.
these guys have been to the track and have experience and proof and your idiot opinions are not going to change that. just because you read in super street that low e.t. is the l33t3$t doesnt make it right.

Stop the stupid fighting. If you can't discuss something without arguing, you won't discuss it.
