Newbie in Rx7 FC

The car has a salvage title + problems, you can see from the pics that the owner is either lazy or just not a very good back yard mechanic. I'm extra leery of anything swapped S4 to S5 by someone like that. Due to all of that, the price is too high. Take Teds advice and offer him $1k (or less) or keep walking. You can do better with relative ease.

Also, you should know that there is no turbo on that car, for 2nd generation Rx7's (FC) only Turbo II cars are turbo charged.

Unless a turbocharger has been added, but from the pics you can clearly see there is no turbocharger in the engine bay.

Can't running rich on turbo, I mean I got some turbo drive experience (240sx, Subaru Sti) but for my 1st ride of rotary no, the turbo is only need it for uphill power chaser.......

ask few friend for advise today, they tell me 1k can get a non turbo rotary with ok condition.....I give it a try tomorrow offer $900 out, and do c-check if fail offer $350

I am very happy what I see in here, some very experience guys(known the build and work it out) and not like some of my friend that never get hand dirty but drive insane build car.......

I give it a shot tomorrow morning! again many THXXXX!

BTW how cheap you guys think a turbo can be? gas is like $3 bucks here, I don't want to spend like $100 per few drive....that is insane.

or put it this way, how much I can get for $1500 bucks? a running turbo? or ok rotary? since this is my try out I don't want it be great, just great on mechanical is enough, don't care much on looks anyway, I can do fabrication myself.
