Hey guys...so I've been in the market for a fun fast project car...and by project I don't mean engine swaps, etc...I mean something fun to work on and clean and drive etc. As an example, I've considered turboing a Miata.

I've always loved the last generation RX7....drove a new one when I was about 17 and I've loved it ever since. Today...lo and behold, parked near my house with a huge FOR SALE sign on it is a CHERRY looking 93, with 85k miles on it. It looks very well taken care of from the exterior, and appears unmodded. Asking $14k obo...kelly private party blue book being $12.3k

I know nothing about rotary reliability (except than it's probably much worse than our engines)...or how reliable in general these cars are. I just know that I want one.

So please share your RX7 experiences...maybe I'll let you drive mine if I get it.

 

do it before i do.

 

we all know you never buy anything, you just kick the tires.

 

where exactly is this located? Streetwise.

 

Go for it. Just never ever ever depend on that car to be your only mode of transportation. If you drive that car hard, you WILL blow a motor eventually. It's like a law of nature. However, like you said, it's an absolutely beautiful car, and the handling is amazing. Go for it for certain.

 

elaborate?

 

Why?

 

Oh, I know which car you are talking about.

 

I was kidding, it's parked here:

I have the number if you want to call 'em.

 

Do you know that guy?

 

No, but I know the area quite well, I used to do alot of onsites over there and have seen an FD over there a couple times.

Although, if you live in that area, I dont recall seeing any WRX though.

 

It is so fine...:drool:

 

If you have the money for the maitenance and everything I HIGHLY recomend purchasing the car ASAP. If not, the VP of the Ronald McDonald house is getting sent and email regarding it.

 

finders fee?

And somehow the title "VP of a non-profit charity" shouldn't evoke images of a rich dude...but somehow it does

 

my friend's older bro has a badass FD RX-7... spent about 20k on the car and another 30k in upgrades.
