that's what i thought.

how bout spend some on your car get everything running good (fuel filter,change fluids,plugs,wires,etc) then maybe do a set of coils and have some fun!

Haha, it sounds like everyone is as torn between all the options as I am. I'll give you some updates, maybe it will make the decision process easier.

I graduated from high school.Yeah, everyone I know got like $2000 or new $30,000 cars. I got $400 lol.I'm going to college next year, but it's mostly to please everyone else.I plan on going to UTI in 4 years to be an Auto Tech.The rx7 is sweeeet. Every time I go look at it I just love it that much more.My 240 runs pretty reliably, I've put about 2 grand into it in less than a year.The engine has about 30k on it.Yes, that's it in my sig. It desperately needs a front drop and some sweet wheels lol.Most of the reason I want the rx7 is because it's still a sports car at heart, but it's got power everything and I kind of want that to cruise the girls and family around in. I want to make my 240 a track car, because every pothole I hit on the streets makes a little piece of my soul die lol. My 240 is SUPER loud and rough and it's just not quite as chill as I'd like for a DD.

Edit: By the way here's an updated pic of my 240, and some pics of the rx7.

i noticed you said something about girls

almost none of them will not be impressed with a non-running rx7... or any car that is more than 3 years old and less than 50k.

and how is your 240 "rough" is your suspension blown? its obviously stock and forgiving.

get a 500 dollar beater and rock it hard.....

Well my current girl appreciates my old a** cars. The point of getting the non-running rx7 is to make it running... and cruise it hard.I have stock suspension in the front, and Nismo/Tokico struts in the back. It's a lot rougher than I would expect it to be. And where I live they don't care about the roads at all because everyone drives lifted trucks

Haha that's true. I have a pretty excellent set so far. I need more specialty things though... engine hoists, piston ring compressors, micrometers, etc.
