just having a browse through now

is it easy to get much power out of them,

Currently used to 360Bhp so its a bit of a downgrade and i will have to remember the powers not all there when needed

You get as much power out but its expensive

£6k for 250hp turbo.

£3k for 212hp throttle bodies (they you could add head work and cams ontop)

 

[N4TH]

Jeeeeze thats not cheap.

 

[cbscup]

It might be expensive to mod but its only 7.5k to buy a 20 month old Clio Cup in the first place...

Ive heard they shift ok on their own

 

[docter fox]

my advice would be to get a small runaround, 1.2 clio? just to toutle around in which would be cheap to run, and then keep the RX7 for weekends and occasional blasts around the country

Oh it does but in this weather , if you want to shift you end up facing the wrong way lol.

 

[fizzy_drink]

Hi, and welcome...







The RX7 is a wonderful piece of kit, but v.expensive to run from what I understand....

(get a clio!!)

 

[N4TH]

There not cheap no , but then there not as expesive as what people make them out to be, Insurance is the killer at 21 allthough it has come down a fair bit in the last 2 years , as i started insuring it at 19.

Clio or ITR is my main choices.

 

[Andyvalver]

Is it a 3rd generation rx7? If so. Why would you get rid? They have so much potential and turn more heads than a clio ever would. Plus they are faster than a clio.

 

[Matt16v]

Lets have look at your oriental nutta then mate!

Heres mine:

[N4TH]

Yeah its a 3rd Gen Twin Turbo , they do turn allot of heads, they are really rare and go like stink, so much Torque from them but i cant afford a house and the car.

I would like to have a 2nd car but that would probally mean more money , upkeep of the 2nd car tax & MOT etc.. allthough the big killer in the RX is the fuel i get about 15-15mpg soo it would cut down the super plus bill i suppose.
