I've been trying to decide between,

A. swapping a H22A into my accord coupe, and doing other assorted work

or

B. buying a RX7 (FC) (possibly convertable)

it would probably end up around the same cost... which do you think would have better preformance, which would you do?

 

RX7 hands down. I'm sorry, and I mean NO disrespect to Accords (I love mine and always will) but not many cars compare to an RX7. A friend of mine had an 2nd gen and I had a chance to drive it. I fell in love right off the bat. It's such a wonderful car. The acceleration, the redline, the ROTARY engine...they're all great. Get a 3rd gen RX7 if you can. Those are even MORE fun!

 

doesn't the rotary engine have a lot of problems with it? even the new rx-8's have problems with the engine.

 

Enjoy working on a rotary....all the freakin time

I ove rotaries but they are notoriously annoying to own because they are always having one problem or another. If you aren't mechanically inclined then you better start scoping out a quality shop right now...they are hard to find since even the dealership won't touch the roatries they sell.

 

My friend never had problems with his, but maybe he was just a lucky one?

 

I love RX-7's. If you're going to get one, I wouldn't get a convert, bleh..

 

wait, tell me what the codes are? like FC or wutever, so wut would a 1st gen be?

rotaries usually only last to about 200k and thr are only 3 places in the bay area that really know how to work on them.

 

Gen 1 is SA22c
Gen 2 is FC
Gen 3 is FD

My friends dad still drives a gen 1 with about 200,000 miles on it. Plenty of shops in the greater austin area.

 

fc3s no questions asked no doubt about it especially a conv. :eek3: they are super rare

 

i HAD a gen 1 until the po po imppounded it, hopefully we can get it back out. if someone wants it then...
