be careful with thw 93's. IFd the motor is original, thewre was a big problem with the motors blowing up, and they didnt like mods much. My friend had to put a new motor/tranny in his car when they blew up, and his had like 30K miles on it.<p>[ October 24, 2002: Message edited by: Custommx3 ]

Have to agree with Barry on this, '93 models had many issues. Hopefully yours is one of the good ones.

Still for that price it's a steal even if you have to rebuild the engine.

i bet that gsx was nice in the winter. my friend has a 98 rs,did your gsx constantly break down? (his rs does). about the rx7, is it the r1 or touring? be carful, you might want to go with a new engine insted of rebuild. those engines blow constantly. ive heard the 20b is relibale but that instal is expensive. you may want to consider street port,but good luck with it.
Hmm. what to do now..
....maybe a VTEC for lunch.

my gsx had a few problems before, but nothing serious...mostly your basic break-down problems like battery, gaskets, blown tires, etc.<BR>heh i wish the rx-7 was an r1. it's not though. i wasnt plannin on rebuilding it if it blew. i just picked it up today and im not sure the psi that was set on it, but i drove it like it was the last car on earth.
