e30plz 1 Report post Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) I'd take the RX7, Depending on its condition, You'd probably come out with more $ than with that Evo, But what year is it ? Edited September 2, 2008 by //James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mash 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2008 Have you seen the evo? Ahh 1996? Are they hard to sell, i would think about putting at $1 reserve or are their not a sort after car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sammy J 1 Report post Posted September 2, 2008 got a batty race car which is used for targas mainly but its a great handeling car, amazing to drive if u know how but it just hangs on round corners and is very quick with the race motor but are fast standard anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e30plz 1 Report post Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) Yeah cause RX7 RS are Bats, Like that one ^^^ They seem to be sort after - People love rotarys, If you put it up at $1 you'll definitely get a buyer Swap the Evo, You'll be getting a bargain IMO Edited September 2, 2008 by //James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hbmonkeyman 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2008 Depends on the Condition of the Rx7 in comparison the the Evo, though i think you'd be getting a good deal if you go for the Rx7. My 2c Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted September 2, 2008 Do it. Inheriant (spelling) design of the engine means they are so smooth, yet revvy. Prepare for a fuel bill shock though, my friend's RX8 cost $110 in 95 for around 400km. RX7 is likely to cost more as it's twin turbo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RS Bats are single turbo 13B's not the 20B Twin Turbo versions, But still Rotarys are costly on gas. Edited September 2, 2008 by //James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are buying a rotary dont get a AA check done coz they wont know sh*t, take it to rx7 heaven in east tamaki and have them check it thoroughly (they are very honest and straight up), I bought a rx7 without a pre-purchase check that had 80xxxks and blew a seal which cost 6k to fix for new seals and new housings.

wms 1 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 Yeh if youre buying a rotary you should factor in for a rebuild. Once youve got a fresh rebuild with new parts itll go forever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rxsumo 33 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 103kms? Make sure the motors had its apex seals etc done. preferably rebuilt completely Yeh if youre buying a rotary you should factor in for a rebuild. Once youve got a fresh rebuild with new parts itll go forever. What a load of bollocks. The modern rotary engine (post S1 RX7), will do in excess of 200K before rebuild. The biggest thing that shortens the life to the engines in the turbos is people that "monkey" around with the boost, and the issues with heat that result. I'd check the car over fairly carefully to ensure the mileage is genuine, watch out for things like 300kmh speedos, as you wont be able to tell when the speedo was fitted, and what the actual mileage is. Check the engine for any modifications to the turbos...bleed off valves...non standard wiring etc. Go to one of the reputable Rotary shops...RX7 Heaven or Rotarypower and get a compression test done, that will tell you what the engine status is.
