Rx7 Looking at purchasing a car that is already done (mostly). The car has complete running gear and just mainly needs some cosmetic tlc which is my fav part. My question is what neighborhood should I look to pay for the car.

Hinson kit. Built motor with AFR's, I think it is a 94. I know it is a touring car, like I said the paint sucks and the interior needs some tlc. I believe that the car is in sound running condition. With a CAAZ unit in the rear and some good axles it would be a sleeper from hell as it sits. If the guy wants too much for the car, I will just build my own and likely a 240 at that b/c of the weight.

Well worth it.

depending on how bad the paint and stuff is, maybe 8-10k if it is a 94, if its a 91 or earlier, 5-6k, most cars that are swapped are painted with good interiors, so they'll be worth more, how much is the guy asking?

27k, the car needs to be painted all over. It also needs a couple interior pieces and the seats re-covered. I would also put some replacement speakers in there and some different wheels. The rear needs the good parts put in it. I figure the car needs at 8k put in it to get it where I want it to be. That is if I didn't put a fast 90 and tb on there and also I might consider a cf hood.

if the car needs to be repainted, **** that. you can pick up a fd (93-95) with a blown motor for a couple of grand, say 5k. That gives you 22k to get a ls1 in there and the body will be probably better than this car. hinson charges 8.7k for the conversion wtih parts, you need to supply a car, engine and tranny.

Also keep in mind those cars were only made for 3 years here, you may have a problem birng the interior up to par on the car that your looking at.

****, that car is running you could pull the motor and tranny and sel that to recoup some.
Well for what it is worth, I have been looking around my area for an FD, in 2 months there have been exactly zero for sale, and I have yet to see a clean roller or one with a blown motor for 5k, usually at that price, paint is pretty toast, body may have issues and the interior is far from "clean". Saw a couple with rebuilt/salvage titles in that price range that looked ok.
well..what exactly is your area? sometimes you have to be willing to travel a bit, soemthing isn't going to fall into your backyard. specially with cars that are somewhat rare.

My rx7 will run 103mph in the 1/8th and 136mph in the 1/4. Motor only
120mph that is fast for 1/8 mile
I am about even with a hayabusa up to 120mph then I will pull them on the motor. When I use nos I can pull away from hayabusa's at any speed.

I didn't know that the split was that good 103 to 136 is better than I was expecting. I have decided to look for my own car to build now and it will probably have a turbo on it. Also I don't think I said that this will be a really dragstrip oriented car and it won't be. It may have big and littles and adjustible coil overs but I just want one of these to play with. I already turned my camaro into something that I don't really want to drive on the street. I want to do a badass street car now, which is kinda funny cause that's what my camaro started out as. Anyway maybe we'll get there.
