Does it really matter whether you lose to a ricer or not? The concept is childish. Most RX-8 buyers are not out to control the streets.

"Most RX-8 buyers are not out to control the streets." my parents didnt buy it to control the streets, but i like having fun.
alright thanks for the help. i was just messing around bowman i didnt kno about the street racng rules. wrx why does it scream " I'm some stupid kid and I'm going to make up a BS story to make myself sound cool." i could care less if people in this forum who i will never meet think im cool or not. you have no idea how puerto rican high schoolers act around here. next time ill take a closer look at the car and get all the proper names for everything he has on it then i wont sound so much like bs will it?

Bike are dangerous man.
That's why I call them Zoom Splats. Yo go Zoom, then splat.

For 12k your in between on Rx7's.

You can get a FD(3rd gen/93-95) but you run the chance of getting a bad one.

I wouldn't recommend a 3rd gen unless you already have a year of EXP wioth rotaries and know the in's and out's of them.

An FC(86-91) is a more reliable car.
A turbo model will sell for around $5000.
Mileage is probable going to be near 100k. Which means a rebuild is coming up if you want to boost around confidently. A rebuild can be had for $1500-3000

The FC is going to be a little better for you to learn on than an FD. I've known too many people which jump into FD's and wrap them around poles.

Here is apic of my non turbo 2nd gen so you know what they look like.


Then the turbo engine


This whole thing including turbo conversion has cost me around 8-9k.
This is
Series 4 1988 GTU(non turbo)
Rebuilt Jspec engine
Rebuilt turbo
Turbo Tranny
Walbro fuel pump
Carbon Fiber FC3S.org Turbo hood
New everything....

I expect around 220HP but I made the car mild(streetable).

So if you had 12k you can make a damn good FC and still have some money to spare(which is needed with Rx7's lol)

Check out Rx7club and check the forums to see what you like.
