looks nice, need to find out the spec\'s of it though.

it will be laggy but it all depends on the porting of the engine (if any)

Very nice car, looks nice in white, just as the guys said! Think Blitzboy runs a T51, doesn\'t he? And a few others IIRC Warthog? Both very very fast cars, so it clearly can be made to work well. Rear wheel drive FTW!

Looks like a nice example in the yahoo auction.
btw All FDs as standard have a Torsen LSD, there is no "strengthend" version just different final drive ratios.
If you doing drifting quite a bit then an aftermarket clutch type LSD would be better

Should I be put off by earlier cars? Or should I just go on condition? Im not suggesting I buy a shed just because its a 1999 car, but if a decent 1992/93 model came up. Should I consider it?

Always get the best you can afford. There really isn\'t a lot between the different models and you can always change stuff after you\'ve got the car.

The later models had a better ECU (16 instead of 8 bit IIRC) but since you\'d have to change that anyway to run a big single, it\'d be the better quality trim, later model lights and not much else making the difference up really. Like has been said, condition rather than age is the key

That white one has been on there a while, It has a pretty crappy HKS intercooler, but bar that its a good spec if you want to do one up.
To be honest though id look in the UK, I doubt that car will sell for less than a million, and with the exchange rate its just to much.

Flynn

Your probably right. At least I can have a good look round one that is already over here.  Had a few cars over from Japan and sometimes it can be a bit hit and miss.
I may as well go for a decent standard model with good compression, then build it up to the spec I want myself.

I had a couple of D-Jet FC for my Evo, 2nd prices were around £350 for the D-Jet. £250/£275 for a L-Jet.

How much do 2nd hand Power FC go for RX7?

BlitzBoy

approx £350 -£400, new they are £600 if you can find them
