goodbye s13 hello fc

[its_teddd]

hey guys.
so yesterday some dumbass integra cut me off and clipped a lady and i ended up rear ending him. so now my 240 is hella beat. the whole front end is gone. and today i found out. that my insurance (http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=820497#) only covers liability and that i cant get shit for my car. and the insurance company says im 50 percent at fault. well anyway. i told my friends and they decided to hook me up. im trading him my whole 240 with kei office coilovers cpilar bar s14 seats ka dohc and all that good stuff for a stock gutted 87 rx7 gtu with a broken water seal that i am pretty happy with. :]
nobody got hurt btw.

[DataXUnknown]

How the hell did that car end up over there on the center divider thing, on the other side of the tree? Did it magically go through the tree or somehow spin around in a circle man I'm so confused at how it all went down, but still, good look with the FC.

[aoiken3]

there goes another silvia front end that the world will never see again. honda/acura kids should learn how to drive. btw, how is it 1/2 your fault if the integra clipped you off?? im a lil confused about that....

[xpertsnowcarver]

that blows that ur 50% at fault... understandable but no matter how one logically looks at it... the integra was the wrench in the dryer that fucked it up for u.. sue that guy for "medical compensation".... luck wit the fc

[deadstock40]

[Xbroke_kidX]

[510-SR20DET]

Hahaha. +1.

[dolphin]

Hey man don't you go to los amigos?

[dolphin]

great job fucking up another coupe.

Lmao! i think about taht all the time..... since i daily my car... the other day on the 405 freeway, traffic came to a complete stop! during the rain, and i had to brake hard since everyone like late braking, and i usually brake ahead of time and im always keeping a good 5 car distance, since i only have liablity. Anyways traffic came to a stop i brake, hit the emergency lights so the person behind me can slow down ahead of time. This asshole doesn't see my emergency lights slam the brakes skid and came to a stop just right behind my ass. Jeez pay attention please.... sorry for giving this story... had to vent.... hahaha

[J40sx]

hey
i think ive seen your car at Tastes
a while back ago, clean as hell

dang sucks that its got messed up
but have a little faith in your car,
maybe even try to bring the 40 back

if not then eh.... FC it is

[Om1kron]

and today i found out. that my insurance (http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=820497#) only covers liability and that i cant get shit for my car

I love this... today I find out I only had liability, like it was a mystery why your insurance was affordable and you expected something out of it hahahahaha. that was a real knee slapper.

LOL, some of these kids just let there parents handle the insurnace stuff.

im trading him my whole 240 with kei office coilovers cpilar bar s14 seats ka dohc and all that good stuff for a stock gutted 87 rx7 gtu with a broken water seal that i am pretty happy with. :]

uh what. bad coolant seal means engine rebuild time.
a stock s4 with a 13b on its way out its worth crap. like well under $1000.

and there's no such thing as an 87 GTU.
first year of the GTU was 88, which is probably the best naturally aspirated s4.
89 onwards GTU denotes the crappy base model.

[yurisfriendevan]

correction the best naturally aspirated FC is the GTUs.
The sport model with no sunroof, "turbo" brakes although all 5 lugs have 4 piston fronts, and a t2 transmission.

If you get an FC the na will leave you with something more to desire. Thank goodness for the economic prices because alot of turbo swaps are showing up for cheeeaaap.

[yabeet]

The kei office coilovers are worth more than the RX7 alone.... dont do it from imo. You can part it out and get something better than that old ass RX7.

Thats my opinion but like they say: Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

[INeedNewTires]

sound like you got the short end of the shitty deal.... i'd keep the S13... FC's arent very cool unless gobs of money are put into them.

[Blacksilvy]

ouch that really sux man. tho id have to advise against an fc with leaking seals and no interior, you are practically getting a shell with those needs, you would really be better off just getting yourself a 240 shell from somewhere and switch all of your good parts over and scrap the rest for cash to go back into the new 240. but its your call man. im a mazda certified tech and tend to specialize in rotary related cars time to time so if u have any questions or part diagrams and prices lemme know good luck

[sub9lulu]

a broken water seal ....
swap time

[aznpoopy]

correction the best naturally aspirated FC is the GTUs.

actually it's you that needs to be corrected.

i said best naturally aspirated s4, not best naturally aspirated FC.

there were no GTU-s s4's. GTU-s started in 89, series 5.

If you want to get technical I said FC, I didnt say which series. Ive had my fair share of FC's, Im not an idiot.

[aznpoopy]

what?

if you want to get technical, you said you were correcting me when there was nothing in my original post that needed correction. i never said you were an idiot.

[Monooxide]

FB is where it's at!

My friend has one and makes 230 WHP on a Street Port 13B N/A and weighs like ~2400lbs. with full interior. Probably would take down my car on 7 PSI. Which is roughly the same WHP and weight. That would make my car a 3L in theory and his a 2.6L in the racing world. Pretty cool IMO.

RX-7s are fun cars but FCs only look good when super clean.

[aznpoopy]

230whp n/a is not your everyday n/a build.

in a FB no less! is this your friend?

Make that 230rwhp streetport 13bre n/a - RX7Club.com (http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=818133)

[amdnivram]

hahaha i have liability also, never been in a accident though. So what does liability insurance cover anyway? i mean if your liable for any amount, then your not covered?

[aznpoopy]

liability covers damage you do to other people's cars and bodies when you are at fault. the coverage extends up to whatever max dollar amount you set it for. you will be personally liable for anything over your max liability pay out.

[yurisfriendevan]

what?

if you want to get technical, you said you were correcting me when there was nothing in my original post that needed correction. i never said you were an idiot.

OK then lets set it straight for everyone.

The best NA FC out of all is the GTUs. Its an S5.

The next best NA FC is the S4 GTU, like you said.

Personally i would rather a turbo swapped base model. They are lighter and cheaper than all the other models.

To the OP. If you dont have much mechanical knowledge or money, then an RX7 probably isnt for you. They arent nearly as cheap as an S13.

I'd say 130whp na is more than most.

[Kamburrito]

hey .. i rear ended an integra because some idiot car cut me off too !
hahah

[HyperTek]

either way, NA fc still isnt too fun.. your gonna wanna turbo it anyways.

See if you can source the interior back... gutted NA s4 fcs really feel shitty.. my buddy had a base 4lug fc that he had gutted the interior, it was a POS, loud and smelled like gas.. if it was a fast turbo, that would be acceptable lol. RX7club can also be boring sometimes.. alot of guys on there are really close minded when it comes to coilovers, aero etc.

People saying the fc aint worth it, well your s13 doesnt look anything special, just the typical zilvia beginner ride on old coilovers

[ro240sx]

My friend used to own 2 fc's but they always gave problems. I nevr liked fcs.

[FcMURRRDA]

trading? but why? just get another coupe and turbo the KA! you need a pretty penny to make fc's look good..

[White Comet]

all the fc bashing makes me chuckle. the fc is a more pure sports car compared to the s13. definitely a better choice then an s13.

[RX729]

With The Water Seal Bad, Your Gonna Need A Rebuild Right Away...

[homeslice]

FC??
Shit good luck....

[its_teddd]

haha yeah im gonna take it out and have my cousin rebuild it for me then get a street port :] after that the guy that is giving me the fc is hooking it up with itb's

[Monooxide]

I would recommend shaping the port entering into the rotor housing to give better "intake timing" and not big port size as this will be detrimental to your low end flow.

Also, don't make the runners too short.

Just some friendly advice.

[Rnz520]

I have an FC, and I believe the chassis is miles ahead of the S13 chassis.
The control arms are aluminum stock and weigh nothing, the brake calipers are four piston and alum. Its an excellent platform, and well maintained perfectly reliable.
I do agree that RX7 club is a little dull. Their offtopic ( if that even exists) is not nearly as entertaining as ours, but there is a lot of great information in that forum.

[aznpoopy]

blasphemer... i <3 rx7club lounge

in all seriousness, the only thing i dislike about the FC is that it's more of a pain to work on than a 240sx. for instance, the slave cylinder is for some ungodly reason located on top of the transmission, sandwiched against the firewall/tranny tunnel. and the flywheel is bolted onto the engine by one massive nut torqued to like 320 ft/lbs. alot of little things like that make easy jobs on a 240sx a bit of a headache on a FC.

[White Comet]

lol the rx7club is where its at. mazda def did some odd things. my friend just had to special order a socket big enough for the flywheel and what the fuck is up with the sub zero start assist? hahaha. all in all i feel it is a much better looking and performing car when compared to an s13 (stock to stock of course)

[drftwerks]

i have an fc also
and i still say if op takes the trade, he is a fuckin idiot

[Rnz520]

ahahah the sub zero start assist is such a joke, I loled when I read about it, Mine is blocked off.
Oh and after lurking for about a year, I just found the lounge at Rx7club today, Fail.
