Do u think buying >picrelated for under 8k would be a smart

No and yes

>>17840427
rebuilt?
any power mods?
still would only pay around 5k, but this guy looks like he "knows what i got"

if engine is (relatively) fresh (and has proof a reputable shop built it) and is a 13bt
otherwise no.

>>17840519
>>17840516
if engine has not been rebuilt, is anywhere from 30k to 120k kilometers on odo. is it still too risky?

>>17840658
compression test it

>>17840661
how much is rotary rebuild kit? all the seals?

>>17840723
about 2500-3500 if a shop does it

if you want to just look at it, then sure

>>17840427
If you are worried about having to spend lots of money fixing things than an old rx7 is not the car for you.

>>17840731
can i do it on my own?
>>17840768
other then engine, is rest of the car reliable?

>>17840819
>rest of the car reliable?
Its a 2 decades old car, even the toppest top quality cars degrade over time

Buy a shell and LS swap it

>can i do it on my own?
Yes, you'll need an engine hoist if you're working completely on your own though.

nigga imma pretend you never said that

>>17841472
>implying that's not what a shitton of people are doing

>>17841472
Name one thing wrong with an LS swap other than muh doritos, or the actual swap

>>17841529
You're taking the heart of the car away. "RX-7" literally doesn't make sense unless it has a rotary engine.

>>17841534
I get why some people want doritos, but the LS is just better

>>17840427
Don't buy a used rotary without a compression test

>>17841543
Then buy a car with an LS. If you don't like the RX-7's engine then don't buy one. Don't butcher cars.

>>17841277
Why bother? Unless your dead set on the look of the car just buy a ls car. The firebird and corvette look miles better then an fc

>>17841583
first off, ew bitch no they dont. firebirds and corvettes are mad stupid looking. secondly, fc way lighter.. they're not in that fat boy 3000+lbs club.

>>17841630
They're right under and adding a heavier engine wont help. 944 looks about the same (better i think) but at least then you can tell people you own a porsche.

you talk gay as hell
