I had an 83 rx7 in highschool for almost two years. My dad bought it from the dealership he worked at for 3k with 30k on the clock. This thing was mint! I fell in love with it and begged for it! I got it the summer before I started my senior year in highschool and had it till two days before I graduated the next year. I had it for exactly 50k miles and it blew the seals. She lost all compression. It sat in our garage for six months then when I left for basic training my parents got rid of it. I was really sad to see it go. That thing drove like a go cart! You could do burn outs for days. Lol its no surprise why it only lasted me for so long. When I really got into going to the track there was a guy there with a first gen rx7 and he had dropped a stock 5.0 in it with a ford rear end. On the motor the thing ran 10's all day long and with a shot of n2o it ran 9's all day long. The guy even drove it to the track two hours every sunday! I fell in love with the rx7 all over again! That is definately going to be my next project car. I would imagine that its rather cheap to do. 5.0 motor 700 dollars, tranny 300, rear end 300, and maybe another 500 for misc. shit! defininately a budget racer! Anywho just my .o2.
