if you have a 7k budget i would go 3rd gen or big engine in a gen 1! :Thumbsup!

For me it would have to be an FD, 3rd gen, Pref a UK model, or even better than that a Jap type X touring manual, (more power) which is what i got after looking for a long time, just had to have it even though i knew it needed a rebuild, Type X has a few extras that i like sunroof, cruise control, air-bags, Bose stereo, slightly softer suspention, and leather seats. It should\'t be necessary to rebuild the engine every 10K,  more like 50K plus if it\'s done with new parts,

i would just recormend getting the best you can afford ie plenty of histry / club car / rebuild proof etc, there are a lot of imports flooding the market so dont go for the first one you see head over heart :Thumbsup!

lol- a 7k budget will buy you a fairly awesome rex- how much power were you ideally looking to hav?

[prince_of_tokyo]

i reckon with around 7k you could get a well spec\'d fd3 twin-turbo with a rebuild or even a well sorted small single which would be my choice...

Originally i wanted sumthin between 400-500 but i cannot afford to rebuild the engine every 10000 miles so gonna have to go for a standard one with just a few mods. I am just learnin bout these cars, i know a fair bit about fto\'s n 300zx\'s but nothin bout these! Can you tell me what engines are available in the gen 3\'s, e.g 1.3, 2.6??? I read sumwer that the 2.6\'s are two 1.3 engines, is this correct??? :xconfused

[mpk490p]

the cc of a rotary engine is 1.3, however they are classed as 2.6 for insurance and in most cases tax, ive always been told this is becasue of the power they produce but have a search there are lots of threads on this

its a confusing situation with engine sizes but bascally theres only 1 for a 3gens rx7. Thats a 1.3 twin turbo classed as a 2.4 or a 2.6 for insurance. The earlier cars came with 265bhp and later one went to 285bhp .so engine wise theres very little to chose from. Im only new to this had my car for 2 months now, ure in the rite place to learn though.
