    I don't think an auto FC is gonna sell for as much as a manual FC would in the same condition though.

    damn you got a better deal than me on yours nice find for 600 bucks but if you are saying you have a coolant leak check the heater core hoses in the engine bay for some reason these leak an not the other cheap looking hoses on the car but as for not being fast a rotary will thank you for kicking its ass the key to drag race is RPM'S the redline is your freind don't fear it lol but really the car was made to handle an that is the part i love about my car but enjoy the 7 an CHECK YOUR OIL DAILY

    lol well it was super slow cuz it had a blown rotor.... but um.. gxl has 4 piston front breaks, auto adjusting suspension, and 5 lugs instead of 4. do you need me to pull up proof? or just take pictures of mine???

    and i think either she did, or the kid who they attempted to sell it to but who couldn't keep up with payments....

    Yeah the gxl did too. It wasn't as fast though, due to being loaded down with all power options, auto suspension junk, and some had back seats.

    But they did get the good brakes and diff.

    Nice little find you got there.

    N/A motors are cheap. My friend might actually have one. If you want i can call him tomorrow and see.

    yea if i had a job, and time then id deff do a 13bt... BUT i think in the end, i dont want more then 200hp cuz its gonna be a dd at somepoint(prob as soon as its running lol) and i dont wanna have to worry about all the crap that comes with high powered cars... so im gonna rebuild the current motor and port it, prob 2mm seals, and other goodies that will take 6 months to a year to build...

    But anyways im pm'ing u about that na motor....

    My turbo II Is a hell of a lotta fun, and i like the 13bt..

    But im 100% behind brady on LS1.
    Its like having a high powered car that is still really reliable, and gets good gas mileage.

    X2 car still remains pretty much 50/50, you dont have to deal with apex seals, knocking down 27 mpg on the highway, and you will make way more useable power than the 13bt ever will.

    Quoted for Truth. My car was cheaper to buy than it would have been to build an ls1 rx7, BUT if i had done an ls1 rx7, with I/H/E, it would be just as fast as my car from a pull (if not faster), and kick my ass from a dig. And get better gas mileage. But like i said, my 13bt is a lot of fun. Its just all the power is above 3700 rpms.
