indy500 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 ditto on the optima. I know, first hand, they can take serious offroad abuse. Is there a lift kit available for a RX7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beondwacko Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 1991 Hmmmm. Turbo ? Do you have any mods done? If it's a non-turbo, are you running a header? If you are, have you taped it yet? My father has a 1993 twin turbo RX-7. 8,300 miles orig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomek Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 It is my old/new car.It has not been active for last 4 years,but I pretty much done restoring/rebuilding the damn think. Mods?,mild, sparco core bar and plate intercooler, front mount,3 inch racing beat turboback exhaust,T04b hybrid turbo, hks electronics-fcon and electronic boost controler.Should make 280-300 crank hp.But I`m not really after hp,etc.They are very nice cars to drive and handle oh so well.I like rx7 turbos for their balance of performance, handling and comfort. I also upgraded shocks and springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beondwacko Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 That car sounds like a fun time! I can say one thing for sure though. Under the hood of that car is a plumbing nightmare of hoses and wires. My Father had an interesting RX-7 about 14 years ago. It was a stock bodied 79'' with the following. CarTech Turbo on a street ported 13B w/lowered compression, dual webers, water to air intercooler, 3" exhaust, centerforce dual diaphram clutch, Koni's all around, Recaro seats, and some other goodies. He bought the car from the orig' owner who put about $10K of work into the engine alone. Result.....440HP at 16lbs of boost. 12.6 in the 1/4 mile @110mph. On the factory sized 175-70-13 tires!! 0-60 in 4 flat. The best thing was that the car looked bone stock. No bling at all. It got stolen out of his garage that was behind the house. Fuckin' thieves had to lift an 86' Camry onto the neighbor's lawn to get the car out of the driveway. My father was totally heartbroken. It was recovered in Brooklyn stripped and smashed to shit.
