I say trade it BUT if the RX-7 has never had a rebuild, it will need one soon (Kit costs ~$1000). Check for hot/cold start problems too, compression test always helps.

[boycottdrifttuners]

i wouldnt trade especially if the other guy initiated the trade proposal. something about that has always made me leary. keep the s13, drop a big turbo in it and away you go. plus, the older gen rx7's are pretty ugly in my opinion unless they have been done really nice. gold rims on your car would look sick!!!!

[ERIC s.-14]

Be prepared to do an engine and turbo rebuild, make sure you see the car start up after it has been sitting for a while like overnight

My buddy bought one from some guy and didn't realize it smoked and burned oil like crazy after it had been sitting for a few hours, it had to be rebuilt.

[krash]

dude, thats not a question IMO. DO IT. whatever money you would spend on the 240 could just be put into the rx-7

I would say get the FC but if it's going to look like your current 240 after you're done with it......

BOOOO, BOOOO, BOOOO!

Get the FC just dont rape it.

[ChampaignSilviaS14]

Get it, Slam it, Get rid of the ugly wheels for good ones with good fitment.

[Second Shadow]

well, I mean you could but what exactly would the point be? there both really well balanced F/R cars with well designed suspensions, lots of power potential, good looking bodies, and they both have chassis unique problems.

Your going to get the same after market support, same type of community, same type of racing/drifting/meets....you're not really changing much here.

this man speaks the truth.

the only thing your really chaning is from pistons to rotors.

He does have a point. But if it were me, I would trade. Just because I like RXs. A buddy of mine had a turbo one a while back and it was pretty quick and fun to drive.

[240tunerguy]

i dont know man, turbo rx7's are fun, but those kind of miles i would be worried it was ragged on and like said before if it needs a rebuild, your looking to spend some fat cash. i would check it like ERIC s.-14 said. otherwise dump the money into your 240.

[themadscientist]

Assume it will need a rebuild but don't let that stop you.

The rotary is something every man should experience. It's the drunk college girl of engines. Fun, mysterious, irresponsible, up for anything, can become dramatic at the drop of a hat and you wish sometimes when you aren't balls-deep in it, it would just go away.

no....no....no......a cheap rebuild would cost $1000, but did you know that a rebuild that cheap they reuse the apex seals?.....i know a little bit about rx-7 and a good rebuild motor will cost $3000 to $4000 dollars and if you dont believe me then talk to some real rx-7 enthusiast, they know how much it would really would cost.

You're telling me a REBUILD KIT doesn't cost ~$1000? This is just finding one in less than a minute: http://www.atkinsrotary.com/st...age=1And thats from atkins. I know a little bit about rotary, I have a friend that also rebuilt/street ported a 12a, hes only into RX-7's, I've learned alot from him.

That's preposterous, fc's dont have to be done up to look good! They look badass this way......AND that way!I say trade imo.

[Jdmstyles]

Woooboooost. . . go for it.

Fc's go vroom vrooom.





walaaaa

[AZ89two4Tsx]

^ now that is a nice FC.

Very rarely do you see ones that tastefully done.

[J240sx]

I hate threads like these.. It's your car, you should be making the decision.

[khouan]

dude im just trying to get some opinions, s***.

[khouan]

Ive decide to stick with the 240!

Rotary is gonna be too pricy for a guy like myself....

Im actually looking to move on to a hatch.......

You seen the car anyone interested?

[Jdmstyles]

I see plenty here in Socal for some reason, especially in the Rowland Heights area where all the Zilvia junkies are. what happened to your front end btw? im sure youve been asked 23423 times.

andd to the other doooode.Do what you want :d If it was me I'd trade for the hell of it. Something new. FC's are a real pleasure to own if done right. and as for the whole money issue, Im sure you're capable of working around it. It takes time to get your car the way you want it, unless you're rich from the start.

[White Comet]

thats too bad you arent getting the fc. it out shines the s13 in every way stock for stock. i woudl ahve def jumped on it cuz its white, its turbo and its series 5. i love my fc and will never part with it

[noobdrftr]

i would do it...i mean i love my coupe but ill take the FC especially if its turbod any day...im not sure if this was mentioned but is this going to be your DD? If not go for the FC

[Redevil]

rotaries are high maintenance and problem prone. Stick with the KA and beat it to s*** without having to worry about blowing a seal.

I'm so sick of seeing this. For those of you who don't realize, a rotary motor will last just as long as you want it to.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

what happened to your front end btw? im sure youve been asked 23423 times.

I upgraded to the "limited edition."

J/K. I just got into a small bender fender.

[tdoolin]

keep the coupe and do the jdm silvia front end it looks so much better than the fc in my opinion
