Looking at getting rid of my fto and getting something with a bit more tuneability. I\'ve loved the rex since I got into jap cars and am seriously considering one as a weekend toy. I know the engines aren\'t exactly the most reliable of things but after reading the board for a couple of weeks there seems to be a lot of expensive horror stories going on. If I get one I won\'t be clocking that much mileage up as it\'ll only be used for the odd weekend and shows but I don\'t want a car that\'s gonna be on the back of an rac truck everytime I go out in it. I\'m gonna have about 7k to spend on one, am I gonna be able to get one that aint gonna cost me a mint in repairs at that price?
Simply put.... Yes. :)
You\'ll be able to get a very decent rx for £7K as at the mo the market is quite low for rx prices so good for you :Laugh

welcome,dont be put off by "horror stories",admit when i was looking to change my EVO V read loads on here began to worry,sure a few go bang.RX is like most cars needs looking after a bit more but puts a smile on your face every time you drive it.
Yep no problem at that price. Read around this forum a bit and do your research tho!
welcome to the natural japcar trail. I swapped from a GPX FTO just over 2 years ago and never looked back. The fto is a nice car but the rex is in a completely different league. The rx7 has loads of stuff available for it (fto had nothing) and is just awesome !
Plus do you go to mascarat on the 2nd monday of the month ??

Yep, go to mascrat every month mate. Looks like the rex is the car for me, it was either a toss up between an fd or a 300zx
What!!! It was between...a Sexy Rexy & a Lard Arse LOL!!!!!
Plenty of good motors in the For Sale Section from £7k upwards :)

Maybe a "lard ass" but you\'ve gotta admit they are getting on to be old skool cool:D
Dave have a look at THIS (http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27499) RX, slightly more than what you\'re looking at spending, but worth every penny.. Check out the special offer for MRC registered users on the last page
Nice car mate but only looking at buying at the beggining of next year when I should be landing a job with a company van
