My bad dude. I just figured with more experience RX-7 owners they could help me out thats all. Not all of us have been around a Rotary engine for a lifetime. I will admit I have never owned a 7, YET, but when I get it I will gladly spend hours and hours familiarizing myself with the engine and its components. I have done a lot of research but Research can only get you so far as opposed to the "Real" thing. Thanks for your input and I hope all your future projects are a success.
Peace |

would it be more cost effective to just get a s5 JSpec RX7?
It seems like all this swapping of motors, interior, turbo, suspoension, then buying mods... wow, thats sum bux. I'd just take a HUGE short cut and buy a car that didnt need to be re-enginnered just to get started! |

We had a NW Rotor meet here in Carnation. Tell me and I'll get someone to photo the back of their car. |

I really appreciate it man. You and a few others on the forum have been really helpful to me. To bad I don't live in Cali lol
especially if im trying to stay on 91 pump gas hahaha |
i thought houston had a great import scene?! You should be able to get jspec cars imported to FL right? 800 is a good deal, but it isn't cost efficient in the long run.
Good luck tho. |

to me.. the best place in So cal to get JDM or J-spec motors.. would have to be Iwrandale and so on.. Long Beach... mostly City Of Industry and some L.A... but i get mine at C&t Motors.. there the best.. right here in Ontario :D

|

and Max I'm sure your not doing T2 swaps and RHD swaps... that 10k you've spent is probably mods, upkeep, and replacements.

Glad to hear it. You'll run into hard times here and there during your build, some of them might even force you to reconsider continuing with the build. Even then, if your desire is solid, you'll shake it off and keep going. If you haven't gotten the Factory Service Manual, it's in the FAQ. That resource right there will be your best friend. |

If the OPer wants to do a replica as a fan of a show he likes more power too him. May not be completly original and some may think it's tacky but i personally got nuthing against that. Hell, how many 68 and 69 dodge chargers have been painted orange...heh...
Since my car is red and i dont want to paint it white im going to modify it so it turns into a lion AND the right arm of a giant robot!!! Ok, now that i have dated myself correctly at being in my 30s im going to sign off..... |
