Its not 100% yet but im seriously considering changing my car to one of the above, any opinions are most welcome, it will be my daily driver doing about 20-30 miles a day and has to be able to put a smile on my face/scare me a little! not too bothered about going sideways cause thats not really what i want it for, all i want is a good envolving drive.

If you go for an RX7 with that level of tweaking, make sure it's been mapped by someone who knows what they're doing!

Where did they get the 1.7 figure for the Rx7??

Honestly people havent got a clue about these cars!

If you want to have some fun....ask them when the head was last torqued as you had read they are prone to coming lose and damaging the valves!!

For 22,000 miles it seems very cheap! That is approx £5k? I would make sure you have lots and lots and lots of proof the car has only done that mileage as otherwise it will be due for an engine rebuild.

nice looking Sil80 - quite rare as well without having the problem finding bits - apart from bodywork your looking at 200sx bits
