single turbo (GT35R) = more reliable than stock twins. NOTE: DO NOT BOOST OVER 15PSI on a rotary (13B-REW) for reliability unless
1) race gas.
15 psi on a GT35r w A-Spec housings (on steve kan's tune) ~ 410 rwhp. Good bye C6 Z06.
www.rx7club.com if you go rotary. READ EVERYTHING B4 you buy. If it's too much for you, don't even consider the rx-7.

if you want something reliable and quick get an integra type r. you can beat the crap out of the car and it will still keep going and some headers exhaust and a tune and youll be running mid 13... im not a honda guy (don't really like them) but the integra is the best you can get in your price range (11-16k)

GT35r seems to be a good sweet spot for the RX-7. Some people like the feeling of the sequential twin system and they go for the BNR stage 3 twins. (which gives them about 360-370 on 15psi). But anyway Steve kan lives in Texas. he comes to so cal about 3 times a year... maybe less... Everytime he's here, he always has a line waiting for him. (FC's, FB's, and FD's).
like i said, if you really want that FD, get a compression, have a rotary mechanic look at it. Of course I live in Socal so those are plentiful.
You can't go wrong with an M3. I love them!

my freind with the gt35r, before he blew it of course had it runnin great at around 15 psi. Not sure what he was runnin exactly. Up here in maine nobody even knows what a rotary is. He just messed his tune up. Plus he had the stock 87 rear iron. This was before mazda reinforced it. thats what blew this time. but unfortunitely when the rear iron blew a hole in iteself it messed up a rotor, and housing. he didnt wanna pay for another re-build... just fir the possibilty of it happeneing again. He has his gt35r up for sale as well.

eg?... hatch?.....
Well... see I don't really know much about hondas... but all i know is that lots of people rice it out and it just gives it a really bad name.. .. also lots of teenagers drive it.. so i am afraid that it might get stolen
How is honda in terms of fast?.. Can they be really that fast?
B/c all my friends that have hondas.. They all talk bad about my evo.
They say that they can smoke my car once they turbo it.
Now . back to the modding thing. If I mod a honda. (not rice it out) but in terms of performance. Will it be good? Fast? Compare to my evo.. ?

Guys... If i can't decide which is better. I'll probably just end up buying a honda or something... Because hondas are well known for that(reliability)... So I'll get a type R or something...
