Got me a FC

Finally found an amazing deal that i couldnt pass up.

1986 FC RX-7 - 66k on the motor.
Only needs a fuel pump and it will be running.

Paid 650 for it.

I’d want my $650 back.

y?

step one remove rotary engine

step two find motor with 8 holes in it

and let me guess… put a LS1 in it

:blanyer:

This picture is hilarious. :rofl:
Point out the fails !

No Stupid n00b you put a 5.0 in it

haha

no v8 for me. Im sticking with the rotary.

But don’t you want to drive it?

Rotaries are like tampons. Too small for use ,Only use once. throw out then get bigger absorbent. But do you really trust something that bleeds for 10 days does not die? just a lot of headaches…

wiggly triangle

I’ve been around Mazdas for …well since most of you were in grade school. the 13b is not a bad engine but know this the apex seals WILL go bad and in that situation youll see how costly it is to own a rotory. the 5.0 swap is a viable contender and you can get parts cheap…just my .02

Plain and simple old airplane engines dont belong in cars.

link didnt work.

and

blah blah blah blah…

holy fuck you guy suck on this forum lol, you guys must really have no lives

“If it doesnt havea V8 then its fucking stupid and slow” Pittspeed Quote

not once is it mentioned that it is stupid and slow?

once you rebuild the motor a couple times then you will wish you did the v8. i have a customer/buddy of mine that has 5.0 swap. he lives in imperial and has been daily driving it for last couple months. the swap is definitely worth it if you want to drive it regularly

well you’re welcome…and since you already know everything I guess you dont need any suggestions.

i think i might have met him, a kid i know rents out a garage in oakdale and he has an FC and he was with a kid the one day that had a v8 swapped in an fc. Not sure if its the same guy

im new with the whole rotary motor but i know for fact that the motors will last if you take care of them. So no i wont be rebuilding them.

Ever wonder why the rotary motor was banned from the Le mans 24 hour race… cause it lasts and after a race they tore down the motor and it was like new.

that comment was directed towards and i never said that i knew everything, just that i wasnt doing a v8 swap.

but please give me some suggestions. I plan on keeping it NA for now.


and thanks for the negative feedback too who ever gave it me, not like i really care cause it means nothing haha,

But if you going to go threw the effort to give negative feedback… at least write a proper sentence and spell correctly lol.

“Your a complete douche bag it would nice if you take critizism fuck stick”

dda da dda da was that there that jeff gordon on TV? haha

and how is it criticism? when that’s all that is posted on here.

been there done that, I agree the rotarys are fun and such, But you will get tired or working on it trust me. So you can go 3 ways. 1 work on rotay and pull egi fuse every time you wanna start it. 2. go carbed v8 like i first did. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/302enginesideview.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/0821080019.jpg
Or 3. Go v8 efi so so so much better. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/0327091716a.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/0327091714a.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/0306091821-2.jpg
plus the 5.0 is super easy to work on in comparision and also you can get parts at any parts store. Oh and if you need any interior peices I got a whole maroon one just like yours for sale cheap.

looks good.

and i might snag the floor mats if there in good shape, but other then that mine is in pretty good shape.

did they ever come with a black interior
