ok i just found an awesome deal - well i hope it is - on an 87 RX7 - the dude tells me it just needs a new clutch and he has bought it already just didnt install it - how hard is it to put a new clutch in on the RX7?

im going to go look at it tomorrow - and listen to the motor - he says it still runs.

but for 1000 bucks - it looks like an awesome ride..and i just might buy it and hold off on the KLZE~ swap

As much as i don't know how good a deal $1000 is...., i'd be a lil cautious, rotaries can get pretty expensive if poorly maintained
lol! listening to it ain't gonna do much good, they're supposed to sound like crap! :mrgreen:

87? is that a series 4?

the blue book on the car is 1200 in fair condition - i'd pay 1000 for it as it is. its going to strictly be for racing anyway - and the engine replaced with a turbo rotary - so with that being said - its a good deal :D and this rotary doesnt sound like crap at all - cant even hear the thing when its running and drives very nicely..
