Just soak it in 2-cycle

AIM Tuning is doing all of the work. Since my school cancelled their independent study automotive class, I have no access to auto tools whatsoever, plus they can do a better job than I could anyway. The car has been sitting for 7 years, so it has a lot to be done to it lol

so the final choice is...
well 680RWHP, directfreak and all others gave me some nice things to think about.
I admire your honest input like I said I love this forum because it's very technical, serious and not biased.
I am keeping the seven...
so my plan is exactly on to directfreaks comments which by the way I respect coming from somebody that has enjoyed building up his FB the way he has. I do want not a superfast comfortable car but something nice, quick enough (400 or + whp) and relaxing. An FB is really not all that comfortable.
But I will keep the seven and build it up. Do a nice freshen up, new paint, a new engine prob a weird turbo 12a a.la 680RWHP or a nice 13b and set up a nice suspension on it. So I'll keep it and dump money into it but step by step and try to make it as civilized yet a fast as possible since it's new role will be to be the decompression chamber on the weekends.
So in few words I'll stay with the seven, it's not worth selling with all the love I have given it.
When I had my previous SC (400 which is a v8) I did miss having an FB and yes that V8 had 290hp and sounded sweet but it was no match for an rx7 of any year in terms of being a fun car to drive it was more of a sweet car to drive. So I will work on a better lex, sc300 turbo is a totally different beast and game and I will keep the FB because it's a nice toy and a superb car to work on.
I just need to work harder now and convince my wife into getting the SC, she wants both too but she loves the rx7 I think more than I do.
thanks for the help...

Hmm, a luxury sports coupe + "beater car" + High miles + Damaged = Moneypit! (in my opinion anyway). Sometimes its better to pay a little more for a car that has been properly respected, rather than one that has been used like a 2 dollar hooker...
