Can I get a reliable FD for £6.5k

[m4drx]

RX7 = Not Reliable

only if its owned by a money or was owned by a monkey.

if you maintain it like a proper sports or supercar which isnt exactly expensive it has no reason to go wrong. and tbh most people use them 3k year to 6k a year so that 10-20 years in my eyes.

oil n filter change every 2000miles youl be fine if you upgrade fer reliabilty there great cars n reliable..

I have an 95 bathurst FD with brand new rebuild by Rotary Imports with warranty for £7k.

Is stock except cat back,apexi ecu,turbo timer and panel filter.

see below for link.

YOu could import a mint or highly modified 2nd gen Rx7 for that sort of money - £6500 would probably get you a 350bhp FC from Japan

Join the FC side - you know you want to.....:Giggle

I know someone sellng ablack turbo 2 fc with a v8 engine in £850, or without engine £650. Bodywork could do with a good polish or blowover but chassis is mint as it\'s on stands. I had a good look underneath

 Get in the corner :flamed

Actually im wrong, it\'s an old v6 ford engine. It looks like it\'s been stole from a museum lol. My mates interested in buying it for a track car, obviously putting the 13b 2616cc motor in.

I wouldnt use an RX as a daily driver, I\'d get a honda... oh yeah I did :Thumbsup!

DC2 Type R daily drive and the \'beast\' as a toy

You can get a GTR for £6500 easily but will be the R32 GTR revision not the bigger R33 GTR and deffo not the R34 GTR

A few examples of things out there:

Disagree, never had any problems with mine since rebuild 12k ago, 30 months ago, it does not pop bang fart, never flooded, and doesnt smell of petrol, one of the most relable cars you can get for the age no rust either,
Bob

I gotta agree with this statement. Probably the most reliable car I have owned!

Thanks for all your comments.

What time do you come through Blandford ro284?

I have seen several FDs about. One often parks near me, it has a headlight conversion (looks like a four eyed frog) but the body work is pretty tatty.

I also saw a nice shiny black one go through a few weeks back.

I have considered Honda\'s but they seam really expensive for what you get, especially the Integra\'s.

An FC..... not really my thing. It is the look of the FD that has really grabbed me. However if it had a V8 in I would seriously have to think about it

Thanks for the offers for cars also. I have seen all of these advertised before (I have been keeping an eye on the market for a while) so if or when I decide to get an FD I may be in touch.

Hey Chris, who rebuilt (is warranty transferable?) the engine and has it got any mods (lowered suspension perhaps)?

I take it it needs to be broken in?

Any more pics of interior?

Anything wrong with it?

I hope Chris rebuilt it mate, he did mine, and i was fortunate enough to watch a lot of it, very very Thorough! (worked for Maza and another top specialist)  mine has done around 12K now, it\'s never missed a beat and is a fabulous drive, i have done like many RX7 owners and bought a new Apexi with comander, a huge downpipe, huge decat pipe and a repacked cat back, but i havent fitted any of it, the car is great as it is, so will probably sell all the bits on.

The Black one you saw with the quad headlights is the one that i know of and agree dont like the lights, flip ups are best IMHO. i go through Blandford around 10, come back around 6 or 7, but i\'m off sick at mo, hope to be ok by next week, i suggested having a look at one, because i know how difficult it was to do so when i was looking, but best bet would be to have a look at the one Chris has TBO, but don\'t hang around, good ones with a new rebuild are more sought after,
Cheers Bob

Hi,
The engine was built by myself, (ten years as a mazda mechanic, followed by  12 years of specialist rx7 work)
I take it it needs to be broken in?
It has not been run in yet and needs a 500 miles below 4000rpm (a good chance to get used to the forst turbo
Any more pics of interior?
I can get some more pics, but can assure you the interior is mint.
Anything wrong with it?
Asside from the right hand front wing having been painted.... not very well, it is a very very good example with genuine 39000 miles.
