Re: rx7?

I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Re: rx7?

non-turbo is better for drifting, TII is better for drag and autox, they work really well though.

front/rear weight distribution is 50.2/49.8 so its about as good as it gets

I'd like to end this argument before it starts. Soyo is saying that the non turbocharged RX7's are better for learning to drift because of the turbo's lag/kick. Learning to use an older turbocharger to it's maximum effect doesn't just mean flooring the gas pedal.

It's not really a power issue, but that is another benifit of the non turbo FC's for beginners.

Le sigh... I want an RX7.

Funny... because i no longer have a 240sx... some problems came up after i carfax'd the car and found out how many accidents it got into...

so...

i begin my search for a car anew. My next targets are an 87 FC or a 91 240. I dont know what model the fc is (ie; gxl, gtu), but i do know it is NA

I'm pretty new to this rx7 thang... so some info would be helpful (Soyo?)

Re: rx7?

PM any questions you have, also ask dayna240sx, she knows her stuff, she knows a lot more tech stuff than I do, but i can hook you up with most of the basics you'll need, and I think I still have a list of things to check for when buying

Re: rx7?

if it was a TII I wouldn't be selling it the reason I'm selling is to buy a TII

no exact price yet, I have to check on repair costs from a body shop before I state a price... somewhere above a grand is what I'm thinking as of now though... PM me if you want details and I'll try to go to my friends body shop and get a quote this week
