Nick Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 If I had two parking spaces I'd probably have an RX7 too. Mate of mine as a nicely setup S14 (mostly suspension work) and puts in some very good times at Fuji, but it'll always look a bit naff. The RX7 looks, sounds and goes how it should Just got to find one without a stupid kit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Got to be black, anyone know if the j-spec or UK rex's are different at all? Yes Uk specs were better loaded. Cruise control, sunroof (which ruins the look imo) and other toys. But they weighed more and had less power. And they have an ugly foglight in the rear bumper which helps you differentiate them. Go for a j-spec type r (has twin oil coolers as opposed to one). If you can afford and find one, get a rx7 spirit - r! The rarest most caveated rx7 ever made. Don't drop a LS1 or v8 in the rx7 either. It ruins the whole rotary purpose and you won't be best liked by mazda rx7 owners club members and rx7 fans either. Obviously its up to you. I am thinking of getting another one late summer. Visibility of early model headlights are poor btw. Depends what you will be using the car for ultimately. Can give you plenty of pointers if you need any. O and incase you are wondering why that rx7 you posted looks so good is because it has burnout wing fenders - v.good looking subtle bodykit option.

supra_aero Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Datsun 240z That's a retro classic I saw 2 1965 mustangs in convoy the other day. I am really liking them more and more now. The sound as they pulled away was fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 A guy has a really nice Sylvia Spec R in the car park at work, set up and has driftworks stickers plastered all over it. I'll try and get a photo. Different colour and wheels and I think it'll look very smart indeed. Do love the RX7 myself, it just looks like a car that's sneering at you and wants to maim you. Being 5'8 I fit in them just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Just an amazing machine - loved the 11's it was leaving under rolling acceleration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fessen Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'm in a little turmoil myself as to what "project car" to buy myself. Either a Supra/Skyline/200sx or other such cars. I currently have an everyday car, so im just looking for a toy to please myself on weekends and such like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tDR Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 RX7 with a sorted 1JZ in it would be ace - should be relatively cheap to do too given how cheap you can pick up the engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Just found this one while having a trawl: More details here: http://www.rx7club.com/album.php?albumid=141&pictureid=4519 Also, have you considered an E30 M3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E30 M3 is a good shout, a few of my mates are getting into the E30's of late and i have to say i love them, a mate Darren is fitting a 3.5L from a 535i in his at the min. I test drove a E30 M3 that was on ebay a couple of weeks back, it had the later 3.2 evo engine but tbh it still felt under powered to me, i did consider getting it and supercharging it but the guy would not accept my offer, i called him again a few days later but he sold it. 1 or 2jz in an E30 would be fun im thinking:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARETT Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 E30 M3's are awesome car's. A guy around here has just completed a 2JZ conversion, and was recently mapped at 600rwhp! Awesome amounts of fun, no traction till 4th gear though! and with regards to the 240Z, check out RIPS beast, 240Z with a RB30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 People slap the E36 3.2 M3 Engine's in E30's too. I'de love an E30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
