I'm considering a '91 RX-7 with good mileage (my personal dream car), but I wanted to ask a few questions:
Is it possible to get a hardshell top to replace the soft convertible one? I'm guessing for obvious reasons neither are at all safe really.
Is a rotary engine that unwieldy to deal with, even if its got low mileage and is taken very well care of by myself?

https://hickory.craigslist.org/cto/6015347879.html

This last one might be laughable... But in the near future, is it feasible to think that it might be possible to convert it to an electric engine for fun after the engine dies? Kinda exposing myself as a retard but I guess I might as well ask.

No. Find a hardtop or stick with a convertible. Not worth it and costs more than buying a hardtop

Rotaries are shit, but quite easy to fix and rebuild.

If you want to pay a fuckton for an electric drivetrain, then go for it.
>>
>75,000 miles

It will easily do another 75k, another 100k if properly maintained.

>Is it possible to get a hardshell top to replace the soft convertible one?

The only hard top verts are one off custom jobs, so no.

How many figures am I looking at to do a custom job on it and make it hardtop down the road? Sad to hear that btw. but...

sounds awesome, I'd love to learn my way around a rotary

Are these worth the money? A used dealership doesn't have one for a car im interested in, should I pay for one?

>>
>>16755152
Depends how much you pay the car.
>>
>>16755152
No that's sketchy. A reputable dealer will have the report available. It's a small cost for the dealer and increases sellability a lot. If they don't the cars are probably shitboxes. In which case you should buy from a private seller.
>>
>>16755322
This. They likely have reports for all of their cars, and just "don't" have them for the ones with major accidents reported.

The reports can be highly detailed or super vague. All will say # of owners, accidents reported, where from, service records, last odometer reading. Some service records can be detailed (head gaskets done, rotors, etc.) or vague (vehicle serviced, emissions).

So basically, look elsewhere. Don't pay for a Carfax report yourself.

It's a scooter with a 250cc SOHC engine paired to a CVT, but the drivetrain is under stressed so it can run at its 75mph top speed until the tank runs dry

So /o/ I was thinking about buying a Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI from the 2004 - 2011 period (the mark 2 version)
Has someone had some experience with this car?

Don't go near it. Total money pit and a pig to work on

Get a petrol one if you want trouble free motoring

>>16751913
Actually I'm seeing around it isn't that good of an engine whereas the 1.8 TDCI seems to be better

You're driving it wrong.

>car is more responsive and speeds up faster at the stoplights
you were probably driving it like a less powerful car ie gunning the throttle and forcing it to kick down in Eco which removes any benefit

It was on eco mode tho. It's supposed to save fuel. Not my fault if it can't do that

Is the Golf R a good car or a meme? I live in Minnesota and kind of want one. Seems like a more luxurious alternative to a WRX.
6 posts and 1 images submitted.

If you just want AWD for the snow you should know that tires are far more important that drivetrain. Also the Golf R has the worst kind of AWD where it just feels FWD most of the time and occasionally sends power to the back.
>>
>>16751647
Well it has a hatch while the WRX doesn't, but is the RS out of the price range? I don't think it has proper AWD and is heavily biased towards FWD if you're OK with that.
>>
>>16751647
Just get snow tires for your current car
