Yeah, one of the projects I was contemplating was to get a 93-95 RX7 with a blown motor and swap in the 3-rotor engine from the Mazda Cosmo in Japan. :yes:

oh yah and max how am i a mitsu wannebe dont hate on my dreams if i am a mitsu wannebe then yur caling hybrid a toyota wannbe cuz thats his dream car and that not cool

I love RX7's. They are so all around, they've got the pure speed and great cornering.....:mad: if only I had the $..........:bandit:

Oh, and no vtec here.....still, great engine nevertheless:yes:

Yes people do blow VTEC out of proportion. I will agree with you on that one.

The RX-7 would make a nice project. I saw a convertible one yesterday. I had no idea they made convertible RX-7s.

What?!?:eek:
I didn't know they made convertible RX7's maybe it's custom or something. Those are damn nice cars. I was thinking about getting one, a nice black one but they are very touchy and you have to take care of them just right. First thing if you get one get a bigger radiator. Mazda sells upgraded radiators because the engine runs too hot and it'll have problems without better cooling.

VTEC is cool but it isn't everything. I hate hearing people say if you ain't got VTEC you ain't shit. I got an LS, and sure I wouldn't mind having a GSR, I almost traded my LS in for a Type R or Prelude but figured I'd stick with the underdog (and I also started doing alot of work on the LS). People hate on LS even when I race them, until I beat their GSR or *lol* civic EX with an exhaust, intake and body kit. People always think I'm lying when I tell them it's an LS after I blow them away. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying my car will beat every VTEC car, but if you've got the mods, then the LS will hang with the "big boys". Most people in southern cali are into looks, so they can cruise main street in Huntington Beach or Sunset Blvd. They don't think too much on speed so when they get blown away by a sleeper LS they get pissed!

My reaction exactly. I wish I could've talked to the guy. I think people would've gotten mad if I stopped my car in traffic to talk to him.....

It was a nice looking ride. Very clean exterior and I'd imagine the interior was the same. He obviously loves the car. Hopefully I run into him again.....

Which version RX7 was it, the newer 93+ body style, or the older body style. I dont think Ive ever seen a newer 93+ Convertable. I know they make the older ones tho. They are still pretty pricey too.:yes:

I think it was the older body style.

that makes sense then..:yes:

yup they sound awesome.....the Supra is a bit more reliable than the RX7. but yer right about the RX7 being lighter......but best of both worlds - RX7 body with Supra engine. i forget where i saw it, but someone did the conversion in a yellow RX7. they went with the Supra engine instead of keeping the RX7 engine because they are more reliable......damn i bet that thing can fly though. too bad theres no street legal kit :o hehe

they do have kits for the IS300 though, i think the cost of the total conversion is like $10k though.....thats quite a bit of money to put into like a $30k car. pretty cool though nevertheless.

Damn!!! An RX7 with a Supra engine! That would be the supreme shit of the universe. I saw a new VW Beetle today with a ragtop, so I guess if you got the money and the desire you can make most any car convertible............hmmmm..........maybe I'll turn my Integra into a convertible! That would look so crappy!
