New Car!!!

[Soyo]

ok so some of you may have noticed that I haven't been posting much lately, thats because I've been in the rx-7 boards a lot because I just bought a 91 rx-7 non-turbo! only $2250! yea so its not a 240sx but I already like it better, I know people will want pictures so I'll see what I can do sometime this week

[grncivicdhr]

what model, gxl, gtu, gtu-s? i used to have a non turbo but i wasn't into cars when i owned it (no idea why tho?)

Its probably a coupe. In 1991 they only made a coupe, turbo II and a convertible model rx-7. They only made the GTUs in 1989 and I think only a handfull were made in 1990.

Good job Soyo, RX-7s are way better than 240sx's. (dont flame me, quote me or anything on that because its MY opinion)

thanks dayna, its been a few years since i had one. i'm a little rusty on the rx7 facts. soyo, congrads on the car, your gonna love it.

so are maxima's...





went to norwalk tonite. best time of 15.404 @ 90.13 with a 2.364 60ft time. my other notable run was a 15.461 @ 91.05, with a 2.256 60 ft time.

and remember im still learning stick, i was granny shifting. once i get shifting down, launches, and a cold air intake, im easily looking at 14's.

im finally happy with my car

[clutch240]

Maxima's are nice. My friend had a 97 . he had it gutted and had a pretty nice body kit. Then a week later he put in some sparco seats and he totaled his car. Some 16 yr old chick who just got a civic t-boned him.

Once you get that shifting down and are able to double clutch and get extra rpm's out of a gear you should be real quick.

[mynismo]

yea there's a lot you can do to them i heard... im not touching mine until next year though, maybe just a cold air intake, and practice shifting all winter. im glad i went out to the track right before they close next week, so im not wondering if i have a fast car or not for 6 months.

i wanted an rx7, but i also wanted a four-door... small cars are nice but i like nice cargo room. if any of you are thinking about getting a max 5spd, you won't be disappointed. make sure it's a v6 though, i believe the 92-94's have the same 190hp, but only 190tq. the 95+ have 190hp and 205tq.

[Soyo]

yea I can't wait... its in the shop for today and I'll have it either late tonight or tommorrow afternoon gotta practice some stick shift(only drivin stick a few times) and then save up some mulla!

oh and yes its a coupe, and I have been to www.teamfc3s.org I'm there like everyother day and any day I'm not I'm at either www.racingbeat.com or www.rx7trix.com ... I like to have a plan when I get a car

now if I could just find a job that would pay me like 20 dollars an hour I could afford to fix it up real quick haha

What are so good about RX-7's??? I know they are rotary powered and churn out a lot of hp, but they don't got much low-end torque do they. Also which handles better, RX-7's or 240sx's?

What happened to the Z

[Soyo]

rx-7's handle much better than 240's, rx-7 body weight ratio is like exactly 50/50 and a 240 is lighter in the back making the back end swing around easier(which is what makes it a little better for a drift car) but really either way you'll be able to handle crazy good, as for torque... the rotary isn't as good for torque as the KA24DE but you can still get good numbers, and much better HP

its not reliable and i get about 9mpg with it, its a hole in my pocket i don't have to deal with.

a few days ago i went out and bought a 95 maxima 5-spd. its great, really stock vs. stock it blows the 240 out of the water.

RX-7's are awesome. They outhandle 240sx's like 100 times. They dont even "churn" out a lot of hp, but they are so incredibly light, you dont need much hp. BUT, with not a lot of money (if you know what your doing) you've got an 11 sec car (like mine ) The only downside of them is that they are maintance hogs. Dont drive under 3K rpms, change the oil every 2,500-3,000 miles, NEVER use synthetic oil, and you should have a car that will outlast any 240sx.

[Soyo]

and don't forget, never turn the car on, move it 20 ft, and turn it off, or you'll be asking the engine to flood for you, always let it run for like 2 min. minimum

plus how bad ace does dual exhaust look? I just love it

oh and does anyone know where I can get vents for the front? I would put a picture of what I'm talking about but I can't figure out how with this new scheme or whatever you call it, but they are right below the headlights, I think its in place of a light or reflector, not sure, I'll put a pic if someone will tell me how

Dual exhaust with supertrapps.... even better.

Post a pic and I tell you.
