Hey fella's.. I just barely registered, and I thought this was a good place to start.
I've got a question about the 2nd Gen RX-7. I had the pleasure of riding in an '87 TurboII a while back, I didn't get to drive, but none the less it was FUN! It is a rare treat here in rural Vermont so I know very little about them firsthand, only what I've looked up on the net. I am fascinated with these cars. Especially the rotary engine, I had no idea about them! Its very cool.
First off if I were able to *find* an '87-'88 TurboII, am I going to assume the engine needs to be rebuilt to be on the safe side?? After that, how much money should I expect to spend to get about 250-300hp at the most out of it? And what would be the best way to go about it? I wouldn't want more than that, I have a lead foot at times.
Just enough to embarass Mustang and Camaro owners at the stop light would be great.. (that's about all you would meet here, besides the occasional C5, yikes!) I'm just putting thoughts out in the open here but figured you guys were a good place to ask.
Thanks!
