Hello, i thought id intro myself since im sure i'll be on here alot from now on. Ive been a civic guy till now (93si with a crv 2l stroker) and due to school i was forced to sell it for some cash, i finally saved up some money again and found this little beauty after talking to a friend about how my dad picked up my mom in a 83 GS. i was a avid member of honda-tech (eg93si) and i hope very much so to be the same here. I talked the lady down to $2200, its got 168,xxx on the tach but it been a one owner (55 yr old lady) whos stored it during the winter and kept very good care of it. it pulls strong and shifts well and starts on 0* days, even though its parked for the rest of winter. just thought id see what you guys thought. any suggestions off the bat? also, how are the grannysspeedshop conversions looked upon in here? thanks, comments welcome.




thanks for looking, suggestions welcome.

 

That car is in amazing shape.

People around here don't go for the V8 conversions.

 

I don't like piston engines, if that's what you are implying.

Welcome to the forum.

 

Welcome to the forum and as trochoid would say welcome to the dark side.Nice Fb oh and from one noob to another not usualy a good idea to ask about piston swaps but its okay you will learn, and also we dont like rice. but if u want some extra ponies get a biger carb and put an exhaust.(i dont mean a fart can)

 

very clean car you got! lovin the louvers! and keep it rotary! welcome to the forums and i am sure you will find a lot of helpful threads! the faq's have a lot of info too!

 

Oooh, fresh meat....er, I mean a new member! Welcome.

Check this link out for an FSM of your car. It'll come in handy.

the point of getting an rx7 is because of its unique rotary engine not found in many other cars. they can put out so much power for there size and with great reliability, i would keep it rotary and build it up, but if you want a v8 conversion go for it. i say you do what you want

 

You'd be surprised what kind of power you can get out of these bad boys. Check out a user by the name of Directfreak. Some of the videos of his car will leave you speechless. And, be wanting to do the same to your car.

 

That's a nice one.

Nice car. Good find. I would keep it rotary as that's teh point of the rx7 swap a 20B three rotar in and tell me you still want a V8. Even a TII swap would be much more fun. V8 is played out brother. You can do what ever you want though. Just don't butcher a nice car. I have owned many Hondas as well and no Honda drives like a properly prepared RX-7 it's a fact of life. I have had 8 EF civics, 4 BB4 Preludes, My wife currently has a 2002 Accord EX, She's had a CB chassis accord, EJ1 Civic, and her last car a DA9 H22 swapped car that was stolen twice because it was so nice (Not because it wasn't secured. Flat bedded twice at two different locations) I know there was more just can't thing of them now but RX 7s are very very fun.

No offense but most Honda guys can't drive worth a ****. Not saying you can't but the RX will expose you to better driving techniques than most of the Hondas will. Save the S2000, NSX, and Preludes. That's my $.02

Welcome.

 

Nice RX7, hard to believe it has 168k.
Congrats one newbie to another!

sigh....another new member with a car in better shape and color than mine....I mean, WELCOME TO THE FORUM! feel free to ask questions, but ALWAYS check the FAQ and search first.....people will chew you out nah these guys are great, I've had my RX for about a year and I've fallen in love with them. I'm on the forum every night!

 

horsepower is horsepower that is how I feel. If your car is fast you have my respect.

 

watched the dyno pulls of direct freaks car, my jaw hit the floor. specially since his car looks very simular to mine.

 

Keep it rotary or else :...just joking

The most important thing is to just have fun with it. Good luck

 

There you go. No need for a V8 after all.
