Might be coming back Options

[Illyont]

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

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

hope ya be able to make a come back. GL

i'd stick with the rx7 personally...god they are sooo frickin hot

[tomazws]

Since I donno how hot your Rx7 is, I'd think $32000 for a Rx7 sounds better than keeping it

With that much money to invest in the GT-FOUR, you can smoke that RX7 anyday.

GT-Four in Norway costs more than that, but still I've found a 100% mint condition 1995 GT-Four LHD now that I might buy. Complete engine overhaul and only 81 000 miles on the clock. New exhaust, dp, jdm rear lights, leather seats, sunroof, original green tinted windows all around, AC, electric mirrors with heath, electric windows and toyota sound system (cd changer in boot and 10 speakers).





It's for sale now for 34 000$ US.. Prices in Norway are insane though. Price could be discussed.. Trying to get him down to 30 500$ US, so I can pay it with the money for my car.

Litteraly just waiting for the guy that's buying my car to give me the money so I can buy this

Not in Norway, is that so hard to understand? Cars cost twice as much in Norway, compared to Sweden, or Germany.. We pay a large tax on engine size (1998 cc), weight of the car (I'm guessing 1350 kg or so?) and horsepower rating (242~ish). + we pay 25% tax on the actual car value.

So a 10 000$ car would cost 12 500$ + the above mentioned tax calculated on engine size, weight and horsepower. Would end up around 21 000$ or more.

A G35 in Norway would cost like.. More than 100 000$ US.. The Evo 8/9, or Impreza STi costs around 100 000$ in Norway. Prices are crazy. Why do you think I get so much for my RX-7? And next year they are increasing the taxes on cars.. Calculating tax based on the Co2 per kilometer (polution) instead of engine size. And also increasing the horsepower and weight tax even more.

I'm telling you, it's pure evil. 34 000$ US for a GT-Four is actually kinda cheap here. There are a few others for sale around 40 000$.

Just had a talk with the owner. Rims on the pictures are not available because of an accident. The car will be delivered without rims (well, stock 16" rims is delivered, but no aftermarket rims). The price would reflect this. Also, the original tail lights and sidemarkers are available, and the dp with catalytic converter and full original exhaust will also follow this car.

I agreed with the owner that I'm buying the car ASAP if my own car sells. So in about a week from now I might be the new owner Car will be shipped to my place for a few dollars extra, so no traveling around to get it either.


Getting all pumped up, so of course, with my luck my current car won't sell after all *crossing fingers*

[shin]

yea you can do without the rims. i don't think it looks good on that GT4 anyway. hope ya be able to sell your rx7 and get that GT4. AWD FTW

[tomazws]

wow... that's insane amount of money you guys have to pay for a car O_o

[CelicaZR]

Good luck with it.
I hope you get it

[spolski07]

I think so, and I definately hope so I love those 3 spoke rims, for some strange reason. I think they rock!

oh.. my.. GOD.. *dream car*

[Illyont]

oh.. my.. GOD.. *dream car*

It's nice, but with the long cold winters up here in north it would be killer to have a car with 4wd. I can't use that car until maybe april next year.. But yes, it's just crazy ass driving when the weather allows it. So much power all the way from 2000rpm and up until redline at 9000rpm.

Hopefully I'm gonna get the chance to buy that GT-Four, and if not, I have to keep the RX-7 The community is so much better here.. RX-7 club is just whining and bit*hing all the time.. Flaming everyone and so on.

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

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 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
