i jsut read about the history of that car like last week, its awsome. i thought the same thing about it not having a rotary. but for all the sr swap guys its basically the same thing, our 240's didnt come with the SR. its not as outrageous but same principle. that car is badass any way you look at it

Its a nice car but just doesn't seem right to see a rx7 without a rotary engine.

Imagine how I feel: My old FC that I loved more than life itself just had that done to it:(

WOW. That is really cool car. When you get it, be sure to post more PICS! I'd rather buy an rx7 with an SR than the 13b. I don't like dealing with the hassles of the rotary engine.And I know ppl are gonna wanna come here and say "OMFG! rotary's can be just as easy to take care of as a regular engine if you take care of it right!" Well, I've yet to exp. that. I don't want to start a war here so back to the topic. NICE RIDE MAN!

I would take the SR out and put it in a 240 shell then put a 13b back in the RX-7.

Either way that car is bad arse! If I had the cash we would've been in a bidding war ;)

Damn TachyonS14 you predicted it.J/K of course. That car is hot. Loose the wing and decals and Ill love it more. No one should ever complain about seeing a Nissan engine in another car. We claim we love them, we should spread the love!

if that car were mine i would put back on the stock bumper, take off the side skirts and rear diffusers, take off the wing and stickers, and paint it mazda red.

IMO, there is NOTHING better looking then a red stock bodied 3rd gen rx7

nice buy man:ylsuper

can i borrow some money? :-D

i used to have a 93 with a greddy t78 that ran 10s at the track race fuel and drag rads, and it does feel like a punch in the chest.... or getting smashed by the fat kid on a rope-swing..... i don't have the car anymore, but the power delivery was awesome and awful at the same time..... does anyone want to lookup the weight diff. between the 2 engines.... the best part about the rotary engines is that they actually sat BEHIND the front wheels, oh yeah and they weigh as much as a 12 pack... and after owning a 10sec 3rd gen and now a high 11sec s13.... i love my sr20 and am never going back....
