lemme rephraise myself, I now have an AE86 that I'm putting my high-rev unit into. I still want an RX-7 because it's a freaking rx-7. Now if I buy that 7 off my friend of a friend it'll remain mostly stock except for some suspension adjustments so that it suits me best. the rebuilt 99 13b will stay in the 7 if I buy that particular one later this fall.

Again, I'm so obsessed with the SR because of a lot of the same reasons you are all obsessed with the rotary. It's just my thing. rotaries are just your thing. If I had my way I would be buying an M4 hardtop roadster instead, but that's about 40k out of my price range.

What turbo kit do you have on your car?

Are you asking me or phatmanbud?

audiobot7

yes. He's saying don't go cheap on stuff, but he's running a ebay turbo kit.

I'm running two high rev N/A sr20's... I'm running custom headers and a 3" exhaust I built on both. No turbo. ones a FWD others a RWD. HP10 and AE86. the 86 isn't finished yet but I can tell you the stats of the P10 if your interested.

again, if i do buy my friend's rx it's going to stay the way it is engine/drivetrain at least. sequential 13b. That'll be my toy car. the P10 is now the DD, used to be the race car, now the 86 is going to be the race car once it's done sometime this spring at latest. I put up with hell on the street driving the things I do. I hate kids these days. You just gotta teach them there place on the sweeper exit. on the curb. well, over it technically. anyone with me on that one?

I'm all for engine swaps, but this sounds like a waste- a lot of coin for a car that will be no faster than a stock fd. Like said above, you could build a reliable ,high rpm, n/a p-ported 13b and avoid all the hassles of the swap. You claim a high strung 4 banger is "responsive"?

I've said it a few times now, I'm not doing it. I found a much lighter car to swap into. I'm still looking for a 7, and it'll stay 13b.
