Yup bout the fastest choice I have ever made.
I have been looking for a project car just in case I lose my license have something to mess around with. Well my friend called me and told me bout a car that one of his friends was selling for like $250.
Go look at it today and to my surprise its a 2nd gen RX with only 55,XXX miles on it yes you read right 55,XXX. I'm going this Saturday to pick it up needs some work on it but hey its not like I am going to come across this everyday so I decided to jump on it hope I can make it into a beast wish me luck.
Here is a link for a picture on my myspace if someone want to put it here it would help alot thanks

OK, so my good friend George builds his own motors, and he has a 2nd gen RX-7. He also builds the motors for a local race team, and they run 2nd gen RX-7's. Great cars, love 'em turbod, as George's is. I think he used to post here, I know he atleast has a user id. Maybe I can hook you two up with each others e-mail's so you can talk. Let me know. Enjoy the new ride man!

Drop a small block in it. I have seen a few here in town, and they are nasty as hell.

Oh ... RX7. I was thinking RX300 or RX330, as in Lexus.
Have fun!

o, if its only for track then def., throw the small block in it. There are a few of them in Ohio and they are crazy on the dragstrip.

So you just went from a 2002 to a 1986-1991 vehicle?
I'm sorry.

and still gained a full sec in the quarter even though its older :)
and would spend more insuring the XD for a year then he paid for the RX7
im sorry, but i think no one has the right to talk down anyone else's car. we drive hyundai's, remember that.

lol its ok I get it alot but most the time its from two "rice burners" that I work with :( but my Xd is faster than both of them which makes me smile :)
The real reason I got it was I need something that I can run the 1/4 in beat it up and not having to worry bout a ride to work and when I saw it it just screamed GET ME

here goes a local guy w/ a 2g RX-7 that ran 11.75 @ 131....best of the day for him was 11.18 @ 132.8mph
you can watch the vid here http://www.playwithlinn.com/Videos/CR%20track%20day%2006/ ...go about 1/2 way down the list till you see Tinman.wmv
and that was done with a 392 (i believe) chevy motor dropped in, stock rx-7 rear end, no boost, no juice, no slicks (used DR's)

my friend has a n/a rx7, and a boosted one. his turbo is still stock motor and turbo, but bolt ons. last i knew he was a high 13 sec car with just the basic's. definitly not bad for a few hundred in mods.

^^ not bad at all just trying to decide if i want to drift it, time track it or race it in the 1/4 mile I'm sure I can make it do any of them. Thoughts???

rip the motor out, street port a turbo one, drop in the turbo one and upgrade and tune and have fun :)
