"Rx7" and "stress free" don't really go in the same sentence, esp an older one..

i took a s3 for a test drive with my mate once, went pretty hard.. but that was a while ago when an old 253 commodore felt fast :)

hahaha an XF.... screw that... u can get a nice series 4 cheap as these days so u would have a lot left over from ur line to fix/mod it up... i was thinking of selling my 32 and buying a s4 rx7 til i had enough for a monster GTR in a couple of years... convertibles are going for about 8k landed and complied.

Both my best friends have s4s. I have driven them aswell. They are slow compared to an R33, have hardly any torque, but with a few mods they are fast, similar to a modded r33, and get around 160kw atws with exhausts and small boost increase.

Anythin else?

Oh also they are quite reliable if u let them warm up fully before thrashing them. It all depends on the cars history on how reliable they will be... My mates is already leaking oil, had it for 6 months. 60k log books, stock.

XF ... lol.. have i got a project for YOU :P wanna supercharge my bro's XF wagon and get it into 12s?? hehe

depends what u want.. but there are plenty of 89 vehicles under $10k to choose from other than a RX7 if u want something different. Subscribe to the j-spec and/or prestige lists to see what is out there.

Get an 83 supra with the 5mge something in it and whack the 1gzt ( the 2,5 or 3 lt turbo one ) in it, the 83 came with flare guard and everthing, will look mad with slam 18inches and a FRONT MOUNT.

Meant to be my project car but i fell in love with the 4round lights babe.

    • Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead
    • Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.
    • It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10  
    • Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.   
    • Don't want to side track from the thread too much (don't want to upset the thread starter's run from 2007) so here's some old rusted Nissan Laurels in a parking lot in Nishinomiya, Hyogo-ken:
