- Mazdaspeed Protege!
Ok so I used to have a pretty heavily modified mazdaspeed protege. Didn't like the fwd so I sold that and bought a Nissan 240sx. Built an sr20, ran it for a few seasons. Had it tuned to about 330whp on pump gas. Car was great but I found it was lacking torque and power.
I sold the nissan and am now looking for a new car.
I LOVE the third gen rx-7 (fd) however I am very skeptical about the rotary. I was toying around with the idea of a v8 swap in the rx-7.
Do you guys think that is worth it?
The car is going to be a track/weekend car. I am looking for just over 400whp. Money isn't really an issue I am looking to spend about 15-18k, but I want the car to be reliable and want to be able to beat on the car.
Im just not sure if an rx-7 is for me or if I should stick to a 240sx and go rb-25 or sway an ls in that.
Any insight is appreciated, Im just trying to build my dream car.
