I'm about to pull the trigger on a clean RHD RX7 in Canada

>>17671816
Can you do the rotary maintenance? If you can go for it my dude. But it's not a cheap car to own.

>>17671816
Do lots of research into the rotary and how to properly care for it before diving into it.

put 250ml of 2 stoke oil in for every 25l of gas.
change oil when u take it out for the spring and midway thru summer.
expect to sweat, heat pours into cabin
no cup holders
eats gas
get a boost guage. if its in good shape it will hit 10psi then flash to 8 when 2nd turbo kicks in then up to 10 again.
change spark plugs asap and do a compression test while they're in there
prepare to dump money. its one thing to own one, its another to be able to maintain it.
enjoy the sound of boosted rotary @9k rpm. its like a 1000 bee hives under the hood.

FELIX WANKEL WAS AN UNAPPRECIATED /GENIUS/

The only guy who ever asked to borrow my engine hoist was a guy with an RX7.

They are pretty bad without an LS swap

would be hilarious to swap a RHD imported fron nipland rx7

>>17672336

Oh you are right, more hilarious is the fact you would be making 70% more power while consuming less oil and fuel.


Ain't that just quacking crazy.

Retribution for all the GM vs Autismo GT-R shitposting. People have fianlly found what makes Weaboos get triggered, and they are exploiting it to the max.

Then add even more power in the V8, and have a car that could kill you everytime you slightly press the pedal and turn. Make it raggity, make it look straight out of a Madmax movie prop set and drive straight to valhalla, fueled by the American spirit.

Lulz

>>17672522
can you briefly explain to me how adding a 'carburator' will increase power output by 100hp? Are you even old enough to drive?

>>17671816
Rotaries hate sitting for more than a week or two, you'll want to at least start it and let it warm up all the way every two weeks or so while you're not driving it for the winter.

>>17672570
This.
Or just embrace the floods.

>>17672570

That's fucking retarded, holy shit. That much care, for peanuts performance.

>>17671816
If you are spending that kind of money i would say fuck the RX 7 and buy a different car! Whats your price range?

>>17672621
Sitting is hard on anything, rotaries just hate it more.

It takes a special kind of person, that's for sure.

>>17672670
Oh no, you have to spend 15 minutes every 2 weeks starting it. So high maintenance. Not like you don't already have to do that with piston engines to keep the fuel system from deteriorating and fresh gas in the lines.

Yeah, but there's no reward for the effort. It's literally an inferior engine that cost more time and money to maintain, for less performance.

Who is going to insure you for RHD?
I couldn't find anyone to insure a 98 sti gc8

>>17672633
My STI just blew its stock motor at 200k km so instead of dropping 10 grand into a new engine i figure i'll drop it into an import. I'm looking at Skyline GTRs as well. Price range is probably upwards of 14k CAD

>>17673345
Corporate Auto Insurance plan they'll insure anything.

>>17672570
Yeah that's doable it'll likely be sitting in underground parkade.


Honestly should I just look at something else like an R32 or R34 GTR? Those are on my radar too,and I mean, probably more drivable year round.. Hm..

>>17672331
I feel like LHD ones are even rarer here but I mean yeah I get what you were going for.

>>17671816
good thread OP
