Hello all!

Long time no seen. I just got a phone call the other night from a person that said he wanted to buy my car (1994 Mazda RX-7 Type R - JDM). If he actually buys it (32 000$) I would have to get a new car.

Ever since I wrecked my old 99' ST I've kinda wanted to get another one, but this time I want 4wd, so it's going to be a GT-Four. A couple for sale atm for around the same as my old car might sell for. So the financial part is already OK. Big question is of course the condition of the car.. Most GT-Fours are raped, literaly. Body kits, huuge aluminum wings, ripped out AC, huge stereo taking up all the trunk space+++..

It's like a year since I was in here last time, but I can still remember alot of names, and it's really great to read up on a couple of projects that are finished since last time smile.gif

If I can't find a decent mint condition car in Norway I will have to import one. JDM vs Euro spec is going to be a hard one, and I know people that can get me bought..

I guess I'm kinda hoping to be able to come back.. The 6gc community is just great smile.gif

Nice car, but dream car? No thanks, I cant spend rebuild time as much as most rx7 owners, its a nice weekend car if it never rains / snows. Get a car suitable for snowy winters man, go for it. gt4 it up.

Rofl dream car, most people say that have never owned an rx7 in their life.

Looks good nonetheless, very clean.

Well, if Jen, or some other people think that the RX-7 is their dream car, then that means that they are or have been dreaming of getting one. Not that the car is the best car ever or something smile.gif

And most people will probably never drive an RX-7. So again, for those people it might forever be just a dream. So what if you have to rebuild the engine more often than a "regular" car.. It might still be a dream to own one smile.gif My car have 54 000 original kilometers on the clock. Not miles, but kilometers. So I still have a loong way before I have to rebuild anything. Up and around 100 000 miles, a rebuild is probably coming up. But the cost of one is like half the cost of a 4 banger rebuild, atleast here in Norway. So it's really no problem.

That being said; I'm like a kid these days.. Can't wait for my RX-7 to sell, so that I can get a GT-Four. Because of the 4wd being alot more practical with the short summers up north. If we had 10 months a year with good weather and no snow, I would be all over the RX-7. I have been driving first hand a 2003 Subaru WRX STI (JDM) with basic mods, a stock 91 Nissan 300ZX Z32 and my RX-7 Type-R. Even though I have about 50 hp less than the two other cars, my car still feels way faster. The Z32 is even a twinturbo, but still it doesn't pull like the rotary. Give the RX-7 some nice durability mods and it will last almost forever. Or go all out and get a built engine, pushing 600rwhp with a large single turbo. It's your choice smile.gif
