so wait, why would u buy an rx7 for a dd while u build your sc? rx7 = terrible DD unless you're pretty familiar with rotories and even then...

None of the above

i want something for a dd but also can drift lol maybe just fix the sc and do a full tune up and maybe swap to a manual?

If you have a 3k budget, why not just get your heater hose fixed and put the rest towards a mild build on your SC? From the pics in your signature, it looks pretty decent?

I have no idea what you said ;lakgna;oeingeaoihgnea;oikngaeoidfbhapoiubhaoijOLKNGA;OENGA;OEINGB;AOKDFBN;AOIJGA;OJKG

I would not drift your DD....a lot of people pretend too, but it's pretty hard on the car, and a broken DD is useless...also only good until you crash it..

btw...240>rx7, just sayin

Buying an rx-7 as a dd is a turrible idea, one of the most unreliable cars out there. Why dont you get yourself a beater $2000 RELIABLE and easy to work on car (civic, corolla, sentra, etc.) And spend the rest on your Sc. Having two project cars is going to drain your time, mind, and wallet dry.

lowdownsc

thanks for the advice im probable gonna buy a corolla and start on the sc

the late 90s corollas are dirt cheap and hella reliable / great on gas

yeah I say go with the Corolla if you want to go that route. keep it in the Toyota family. and don't even think about an s chassis, they break to easily.

Should make sure your daily is in working order before you mod your car. What I don't understand is why people get beater cars to daily, you aren't really using your SC anymore if you do that. I could understand if you were rich, but most of the people who do that aren't :|

i found a 91 corolla for 1400 and it only has 153k so im gonna go look at that tomorrow after work and if its anything like the guy said its solid, then ill have a nice chunk left for my sc. what should i do to the sc first besides a tune up which im gonna do

ZeRoSe7en

Sounds like a good deal, jump on it. Get your SC running good and spend the rest on something you want, like nice cheap wheels?

lowdownsc

its really not running bad, just the hcv is out so the hoses are by passing the control valve and the upper heater hose is out but it will be in tomorrow so im gonna get that hose on and get an oil change and possibaly a tune up, then go check the corolla out. all after work lol sounds like a busy day tomorrow
