Heavy !?:confused:
Rx7s are known for their light precise steering, I take it you have no power steering on the conversion?
Covert it back to a rotary engine problem solved lol :driving
^^^^^ lol
Or grow some man muscles and wrestle the steering wheel?! Or install a bus steering wheel for more leverage.
Car looks good though!!!
:Thumbsup!nice car

Hi the running gear has mostly been custom made other is running a dry sump custom prop shafts ect gearbox mounts i think its still the standard axel .the conversion was a amazing job it has a electric power steering pump fitted to make it a bit lighter.

If you wanted to put a spoiler on the back i\'d go for a big GT style one. I smaller standard or similar one will look a little lost i think.

Sorry but fail

And loads of exclamation marks
Take it not to many people like it then lol
i like it, but i think most people think that only rotary lumps belong in rexxys! and i am one of those people unfortunatley....
cars nice, great potential, will be a nice skidder, but too many pistons and no rotors, so for that reason..... im out!
:D

The R in Rx7 stands for rotary... in case you were wondering lol :chat
Lol its still got the power to skid which is wat i got it for

then thats all that matters! if your happy with it mate, then all is good!

:D
Sweet car dude. Me like the RB lumps, they full of just as much win as a rotary, but are generally quieter :D lol
The spec looks good too. Bet its a lovely drive :)
Looks great :) there are a few FD engines floating around when you want to upgrade the engine :)
People here like the simplicity of the rotary engine.
You can either have this...............

Orrrrrrrrr, have this..........

Simple and efficient :Laugh
I\'m afraid i\'m with the other lads here. RX-7 should be RE powered, not some Nissan lump RB or not. You should sell it on and buy a real RX-7 with a real engine in it :Giggle
I\'m not being horrible but i expected you to get :flamed
And rightly so :chat
Always so much hate on this forum.
Looks like a damn tidy conversion and if anything it\'ll probably be easier to skid than something 13b Powered.
Any idea what turbo you\'re going for in the future or are you keep the current one?
Personally I steer well clear of any sort of wing with that rear bumper, I reckon it\'d look car better with some more offset and lows instead.
Don\'t get me wrong, it does look nice, as dtheb said it\'s a very tidy conversion, obviously very well done, very professional and by the look of it, a lot of time and money has been well spent to get it to the state it is.
Non-rotary powered Rotary (RX) cars on rotary-enthusiast forums will always be like marmite, some love, some hate.
As long as you like it, that\'s all that matters.
I personally don\'t like it, but, I don\'t have to drive it! :cheers

Shhhhhhhhhhhh, you\'re spoiling it!! :rollin
the car is up for sale or px not because of wat people think its just want a rotary this was just one step to getting a rx with a roatary

ah what! you shouldn\'t sell it man, it\'d be awesome to drift!!
great, another flood of insults forcing someone to sell... well done haters....
I dont think you should sell dude. Its an awesome car. Id even offer up mine in part ex if i thought it was worth as much as yours!!
dont sell it!! keep it and maybe buy my spare engine in the near future;)
Just seen this advertised on pistonheads! Dont sell it mate, you\'ve only had it 2 weeks! Ignore the haters & enjoy the car. :)
Just because other people don\'t like it doesn\'t mean you won\'t enjoy having it, have it for a month or two and then decide if you still want to sell it :)
He did say it wasn\'t because of what people think. Plus i certainly speak for myself when i say i was only having a bit of fun, yes its a nice car, yes i would always keep the RE if it was mine. I\'m sure the guy probably hasen\'t taken us all that seriously. I mean c\'mon who would?
I like it..... Was thinking of liquid yellow for my rex!
