convince me to buy a supra ova an rx7

[evil_si]

from what i understand rotarys die cuz the apex seals get hard and brittle as the factory pre mix (oil in the fuel for luberication) thingy isnt really up to the task, so if you put 2 stroke pre mix oil in the fuel they last alot longer.

not sure about the early ones but the late model engines as in battys have an oil injection system on the engine,
they inject engine oil from the sump direct into the rotor housings to keep them lubricated. (so if anyone ever says it uses no oil id be thinking twice about them)
ive done away with that on mine and i just run premix i run more oil than i should to be safe.

[scope]

i'm actually surprised how many people have told him to get an rx7

[Paulio]

Actually, no.

THIS (as in, this particular one) Is the best Japanese made car ever, ever.



I'd sell one of my livers to own this.

what the $&#$% is that? i almost remember one of those in the olds garage when I was a little shit, thought it was a corvette or something (back then).

[SIKBUZ]

Go the RX..

But in saying that Crazy Will's Supra looks the biz.. If you have the $$$ to mod the Supra you'll enjoy it. If you don't it will be a whale on the road..

Personal bias is def the RX though

[Mr Revhead]

youd be suprised how well a JZA80 handles with nothing more than springs....
or how fast they are point tp point....

RX7 looks like it was designed by the same guy that did the taurus.
looks half deflated

i say bugger both of them, buy a T top 280z and a medellion and pretend your magnum

The hell are you on?

[Mr Revhead]

i call it reality!
RX7 imo is one of the ugliest things to come out of japan in a long time.
it honestly reminds me of a taurus

[Paulio]

i think the batty is damn sexy

[Snoozin]

Actually, no.

That's an S30 240Z/Fairlady Z.... That particular one has a twin turbo VH4something bent 8 in it.

Anyway, re the original question. FD over a JZA80 for me any day.

As opposed to a supra without a bodykit??? The supra has the same lines so you cant like them either! The supra has disgusting headlights and i've read that Toyota was looking at the FC RX7 when they designed them

The FD is widely regarded as the best handling sports car to come out of the nation of the rising sun, and one of the best in the world! And even now has a modern look (and it was designed prior to 1992!!)

That 240Z looks great!!!!

I am aware of the RX-7's handling abilities I have no arguement there but you guy's saying that the Supra is a whale are implying that it has no handling what so ever are on drugs and I'm doubting wheather you guys have driven one so thats like me saying point to point the RX-7 would get creamed everyday past thursday by the Supra but for me thats mindless on my part because I've never owned a 7 and I could be completely wrong.

Im not saying Supra's are bad.. But you need alot more $$$ to do to them what you can to an RX

400hp in an RX7 kills 400hp in a supra

I've driven both and supra's handle well but nothing like the FD

[Mr Revhead]

oh i agree that a supra without a spoiler looks soo wrong too!

Its horse's for course's though where as I agree you do have spend a bit of money to get a Supra to handle but on the other hand you won't have to spend as much to get the 400 HP so there is a flip side.

And as for 400 HP RX-7 killing a 400 HP Supra well I've done a few track-days in the past 8 years and I'm yet to come across one that has killed me yet.

But I do have to agree with you from what I have seen on youtube and other sources the RX-7 is a supremely great handling car.

Revvy your calling the 7 ugly well you got me there I actually quite like the look of them......

yeah thats what i ment, but from what iv heard/read once you start tinkering they are not really good enough, hence brittle cracked seals

Supra, $1500 adjustables, $1000 3' Exhaust, $500 FMIC, $3000 18x10/9 = $&#$% MEAN

Funniest thing I've heard in a long time. That comes down to personal opinion. But then again some people do think VW Beetles and Chrome wheels look good, or tri-spoke chrome wheels. Either way its everyones personal opinion.
RX7 > faster, better looking that a JZA80
JZA80 > Engine is more reliable and still great fun to drive

[flygt4]

supras handle great, toyota did a damn good job of making a tourer that can cut it in the twisties.
i have been in a supra with standard suspension through a tight and twisty hill road and they handle extremely well if driven properly.
they manage to put most of their power down quite easily, and all that torque means you just fly out of corners and up hills.


i think they designed the rx-7 with the idea being it was meant to simulate water flowing over a rock , so it looked natural. (headlights ruin that effect somewhat)

[cogent]

D1 Mule, do you just state anything and everything that pops into your mind, without any real factual evidence or basing?

[pureadrenalin]

Both great cars, just depends what you want from them.
I was looking at the same things a few years back, except I had decided on the supra, but the rx7 was looking pretty good too.
Main differences I could see are were (supra bias tho)
Supra is much more comfortable to drive. More cabin space, more presence. Cruiser, with a lot of grunt. Nothing like being able to hit 100kph in first
Supras cabin is very plain. Too much plastic.
RX7 handles better, feels more precise to your steering inputs, but I couldn't get over how close your head was to the window. I thought I was going to hit myself in the head every time I closed the door
