If you had a ls1 rx7 would you trade for this?

[NOPR]

You forgot the SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET carbon fiber headlights! Those add like 37whp.

 

wait, did you say CARBON FIBER?!?!?!?!?

 

*re-examines picture*

 

:eek2::eek2::eek2:

 

BUY THAT SHIT NOW!!!

[ISpoolOldSchool]

nah, ive got nothing against supras, but dude, youve got a rx7 with an ls1! thats just an amazing setup. id love to have that de-rotared beast

[Hwilli1647545487]

That 478 is probably a pump gas tune. It has a fuel system so it is 650-700whp capable with that turbo.

 

That being said, unless it has had all the suspension, brake system upgraded to TT spec, the 6spd swap, and the rear end swap, you are dealing with weaker/shittier parts. Has a thicker head gasket been put on?

 

 

IMO I would keep the 7. If you are going to trade for a Supra, go with a turbo model from the start, unless someone has done all the above mentioned modifications. Then I MIGHT consider it.

 

NA-T Supra 15-20k. LS1 FD 25-30k. The last time I was actually paying attention to the market for the cars.

[turbospec29]

Forget the supra and turbo the ls1 in the 7... win!

[Sparky]

Gimme your Fikse's and then do it.

[zeitgeist57]

I've never been comfortable with the idea of trading cars. If there was *anything* wrong with the Supra that did work on your old RX-7, you'd second-guess your decision to get rid of it.

 

Plus, that orange thing is 2F&2F. I'd pass.

[evil8]

Take the Supra, turn it into a stack of cash, and buy the nicest LSx FD on V8 RX-7 forum. Spend the leftover cash on pimpass carbon fiber shit for the new FD.

[TimTaylor751647545500]

I like the RX7 more.

 

Thread needs a poll.

[Farkas]

Needs more cowbell.

[,,,,,,comma,,,,,,]

Either way both cars would be slow cause your driving hahahahahahah

 

 

jk

 

 

thats a delima idk man!

 

what a worthless post by me

[hpfiend]

stupid big audio system? TV's n'shit? overweight car? NA-T timebomb?

 

I wouldn't even consider it.

+1 Not to mention that there is no factory rear seat, factory paint color, front seats, and who knows what other factory parts are missing. The cars that bring the big money are unmolested factory turbo cars or the full tilt 1500hp versions but those guys lose 50-75% of what they have in them as with any highly modified car.

 

The primary reason that people trade is because they can't get anything out of them in the market which is the true indicator of somethings value. I tried to trade for anything with decent blue book (hondas, toyotas, newer stock cars), cars that would be fun (c4s/E36 M3s), and what I ultimately wanted c5s and c5 z06's for a long time with my modified 5.0 coupe before I decided to take the gas.

 

Beware on the trade initiator side as well as I did have a guy that was willing to trade his 95 c4 for it but I wouldn't have traded my car bone stock for that one after seeing and riding in it- I sort of felt bad as after a ride in mine he was in love. I also had a 8 second grand national, E46 M3, and a nitrous 98 C5 offer which I also declined after finding out more information. I could have parted the grand national so that was probably a mistake but I could have parted mine for a lot more than I sold it for as well I just didn't have the time/space/energy to do it.

he conspicuously doesn't mention what transmission is in it, so am I to assume that it's an auto? Combine that with the body kit, it not being a real turbo car, and the fact that it was likely owned by a youger guy (by looking at the mods) and I'd say bail. You'd be better off tweaking things on the FD.

 

The only way I'd see doing it is if you've always wanted a Supra more than any other car on the planet. Then get it and fix it (looks wise).

[Linc5.0]

ive always wanted a supra, but ive always wanted and drooled over 7's.

the supra definately has way to much gay shit on it, and this guy took it in on trade which means he would prolly dump it cheap....ima pass.

Copy this down because it won't happen again...

 

 

I'd keep the 7 and let that particular Supra go. :doh:

[BIGGU]

keep the 7, he doesent mention the transmission at all and if its was a NA 5sp the supra will have a w58 transmission and they can only reliably hold 300-350 anything over is death if you run them hard.

 

both cars are really rare but the 7 is a better bet.

[kenny]

No.

 

If it was a turbo to start with and non ugly, probably.

[ISpoolOldSchool]

Forget the supra and turbo the ls1 in the 7... win!

 

x2!!!!!

[Rally Pat]

x2!!!!!

 

I don't think that would be a good idea, especially since you want to do track day stuff. Just leave it NA.

[Alex L.]

Good choice letting this one go. I wouldn't do it, and that's coming from a Supra owner. With all of the shit that would need to be done to that MKIV to un-gay it, it wouldn't be worth it. Plus, there isn't too much about the engine listed, and there are a few necessities when doing a NA-T 2JZ (thick headgasket, etc.)

[iwashmycar]

good call. maybe get a factory turbo some day... build it your way

[Qtr_pndr]

i would keep the 7

[Skinner]

I like the RX7 more.

done.

[Dr. Pomade]

Negative.

[Miller]

Pretty much this.
