hey when starting with a rx 7

hey when starting with an rx-7 with high miles, what should you buy first to improve the engine from blowing up?

[ac427cpe]

what year is the car?

[drews]

93 tt

[ac427cpe]

how many miles are on it? and how has it been taken care of/driven

[drews]

it has about 70k miles, and in a pretty good condition

[rxtacy]

with that kind of mileage, you shouldn't expect to get more than 10,000 miles more out of it until you need a rebuild. it may already need a rebuild. but if you really need to extend the life, don't push it hard. warm it up properly, get a turbo timer, and even turn down the boost if you can.

[drews]

SO SHOULD I BUY IT OR SHOULD I JUST LEAVE IT ALONE

[dayna240sx]

Yeah, your pretty much SOL at this point... Just save up for a rebuild.

[rxtacy]

if you can save a few thousand over a year, you can handle it, but you will end up putting a few thousand more into it. if you're short on money, then i say don't do it.

what other car should i get rather then the rx-7, i want cheap, fast, and stylish?

[dayna240sx]

cheap, fast, stylish? Get a 240sx

[drews]

yeah i had that in mind, how much is that?

[dayna240sx]

They range from $250 to $20000, depending on year, mileage, and mods.

With the 240sx, insurance will be alot cheaper than a third gen, you can either turbo the KA (stock) engine, or there are many swaps you can do. (SR20, RB25DET, 13B, etc...)

[drews]

are they hard to find? i heard that they were ment for the ladys when they were first introduced!

[dayna240sx]

Some of the S14's are getting hard to find... or atleast to wrestle them away from their owners...

Try the 240 forums.
