Hi George, try super seven autos near Henfield in your area. Ask for Jason, hell give you all the help you\'ll ever need...he may even have a car or two for sale.

4k wouldnt buy you a massive amount imo. you may find something with a few mods and a little history but it would probably be quite tatty and not that well looked after.
save your money from the crx and put it towards the rx7 budget. these cars cost a lot to run and costs tend to escalate quite quickly if your not careful!
the more money you have to spend on one, the better :Thumbs-up
have a read around the forum, you\'ll soon find what there like to own :Viking

or better still like above ^^^ go and see jason! he\'ll be more than happy to help. he\'s got bags of experience, he\'s local to you and could come in handy in your future rotary ownership!

welcome to the club anyway

may your future rotary ownership be an eventful but enjoyable one!

isnt that what owning a super car is all about??? :Giggle

cheers for the info :) i\'ll speak to him nearer the time when i actually have some dolla in my pocket! ive already got most of the boost bits for the CRX so might aswell do it as wont cost much more to get it done. but that will be sold in december towards the fund. im a mechanic so working on the spanner side of things should save me a fair bit. just need to get used to rotors not pistons and conrods :| i will keep reading up on bits and bobs so when i do get one should have a reasonable understanding :) thanks again george

Hi george, welcome to MRC.

Wouldnt worry too much about the differences between pistons and rotors...the 13B REW only has about 14 moving parts, and two of them are turbos!! :D
