Thinking of a New Car

[Tony]

First off, No I am not getting rid of my civic

Now, I am thinking of getting another ride, so i can park the civic for awhile and work on it and still have a car. Right now my targets are either a

86-91 2nd Gen Mazda RX-7


or the 93-95 3rd gen RX-7


All I know for sure its going to be a RWD. I would think about something more new, but don't think I will have that much money for it. Tell me what you guys think.

hmm, i'd say the 3rd gen
may i suggest a Mk2 or Mk3 Supra tho? hehe

[marked001]

I'd definitely say 3rd gen if you can swing the payments

[mellowboy]

3rd gen rx-7!

[Tony]

so i see everyone agrees the 3rd gen is damn sexy. I was tryin to get Fried Circuit, one of my friends, to get an Rx7 also, one of us have a 2nd gen and the other with a 3rd gen. Be like the Takehashi(sp?) brothers from Initial D

sorry eh rich tony. lol. give me a call when u gotta spend lots of money on getting a new motor. oh if you didnt know, the 3rd gen rx7 motors dont last very long, because it has shitty seals and a shitty exhaust mani. i wouldnt advise anyone to get 3rd gen rx7. 13b-rew sucks as a motor

[GTA]

id get the 2nd gen. i like older cars better it seems...

[Tony]

yea, I got the SCC on buying a 3rd gen RX7, listing all the things to look for and everything. So I will be looking out for that. But if you can get a 13b running good, those things can be monsters

this girl I went to high school with had a 93 twin turbo rx7 ... as of now its been backed into 3 times and the engine is blown due to her boyfriends abuse of it.

My brother had a first gen RX-7....I think it was 1979 or something like that....it was the first year they made them here I know that....It was an automatic which sucked, but so much fun to drive......nothing is better than gettin on the gas coming around a corner and having the ass end slide out just a little on you :smoka:

[XxLuckyLisaxX]

damn tony those are pretty pricy(3rd gen. rx7), BTW welcome back from your absence i know what your up to, you want to start drifting ehhh ehh

[XxLuckyLisaxX]

have u looked into mr2's though, a lot more inexspensive, and rear wheel drive and fast.

[civickiller]

the only way to get those things runnin good is to 1. upgrade to a single turbo, everybody goes t78. 2. have the engine rebuilt with 3mm apex seals, and you would probably want to rebuild it like every 60,000 miles just to make sure u dont blow a gasket which can warp the rotor which will cost u a new motor.

yeah i got this from an issue of scc, the article was on the 13brew motor itself. wasnt really a buyers guide

[Civic Jim]

i prefer 2nd gen myself, 3rd gen looks a bit girly IMO

[Tony]

nah, there is a RX7 buyers guide, it was a couple months ago.

and lisa, you figured me out. I know they are a little pricey, but im waiting a nice car also. Hell if i knew I could afford it, I would go for a Scooby WRX, I love those things. Damn sexy just stock.
