Rx7

[Thorhorn]

im new to these forms and all but i have a few questions

1) is the 3rd gen rx7s worth buying.. i heard there not realiable at all

2) are there any legal s15 silvias in canada??

thanks

There are no legal s15 in canada, as it is not older than 15 years and therefore illegal


3rd gen rx7 is legal if you have the motor built and the turbos rebuilt. The stock turbos suck for reliability.

once the 3rd gen hits 100,000k, thats the red zone for motor blowup time.

the problem with rx7's are that if you import them chances are
for a rotary its gonna have high km's..which means its likely to grenade withing a couple months of driving it lol maybe sooner maybe later..and as for an s15..yea there is none.lol

(edit:cheeze beat me to it lol)

1) I have no experience with these cars inparticular but have had experience with other higher end japanese cars and they are as reliable as you maintain/drive them

2) you need to do some research on importing a jdm vehicle. as of right now a car has to be 15 years old to import/register/insure/drive here and i haven't yet heard of anyone finding a way around this

lol sob on the s15.. its a nice car

so would u guys suggest getting an rx7??

i want a car i can make look REALLY NICE
is fast as hell..

and os RWD

any thoughts

[sr20dets13]

just get a s14...put a modded sr in it do a s15 front conversion and call it a day!

Rx7 is good, but you MUST build the motor when it comes here.
Ricefarmer...youre wrong about reliability of rx7...its nature of the 3rd gen to blow around 100,000k...ive seen them as low as 70,000 k


rx7 does NOT get good gas mileage tho.....if you want fast rwd, i would suggest silvia, skyline, 180sx, etc.

just dropped a rb25det into a Laurel Medalist for a customer. that was a fun swap

[Thorhorn]

lol thats actully not a bad idea lol

what years are the s14s again>>

there pretty fast right?

and is there rear conversions at all??

the backs of um are Ugllllly




PS

if anyone has the feb Performance auto and sound magazine
can u turn to pg 9 and tell me what car that is lol plz

thanks

[Cheeze]

If you get the car, i can do the swap.



s14 is 94+240sx

[sr20dets13]

i dont have that mag..lolbut the stock motor on a s14 is slowwww...which is why i said swap in a diff motor ie. sr20det,ca18det, orrrr rb26dett (there are others but these are probly the main ones lol) and as for rear conversions...i have no idea but im pretty sure you shit outa luck lol

[Thorhorn]

chee what car do u mean??

and what do u mean by +240sx?

[Cheeze]

s14 is 94 and up 240sx

u cant have a s14 rhd silvia, theyre not allowed here

you could get an s14 240sx, then swap in a sr20 and do a front end conversion

i do engine swaps on 240 and i can do the removal and mods on the 3rd gen if you get one

[Thorhorn]

ohh ok gotcha

so the s14 is a good fast car can drift good

what else is good

[Cheeze]

for cheap, s13 240sx, with sr20, i can get you a fuel package and turbo upgrade for it, make 300 hp to teh wheels no problem
