Another RX7 project!? What did I do …

[@Rotary_Papi]

This is just my opinion and we know everyone has one. I’d restore the silver car. Since they are getting to be worth money in clean condition. I think it would make a nice street FC As for the 3 rotor car. I’d repair the chassis and just get some seat time in it. Drift cars get beat up so I’d get the most out of that shell before re-shelling it. It would suck you put a lot of time and effort into a new shell for something to happen to it, get the combo sorted out and proven while building a chassis on the side maybe. As I said that’s just my opinion. At the end of the day it’s your car and you gotta do what ever makes you happy. Ultimately it will be cool to see what you do either way! Keep it up 👍

[@sirmonkey1985]

agree, or end up just using the non turbo 2 shell Adam found instead as the replacement.. this shell is way too good to hack up.

[@rsadz2358]

I agree with this but but would buy a couple of shell for the future if u do ever reshell the 3 rota

[@wobblysauce]

This... that other car is ready to be cut up racer style, where this is the street car.

I would honestly say if sailor 7’s chassis is up to snuff turn that into the 3 rotor car, the current 3 rotors car into a missile/thrash car, and this into a super clean 2 rotor street car.

Throw the rotary in the Miata like it’s an oem option. I think that would be awesome! Oem plus Miata R spec! Also I think this shell is a perfect race car platform. Ik it’s clean but it’s not too clean IMO. The body damage makes it race-car worthy to me.

To remove sound deadening a super easy way is to get 10 or 20 lbs of dry ice, break it into small pieces and dump the pile on one section at a time. Then move the dry ice to the next area and hit the floor with a hammer. The sound deadening comes off and looks like it was never there. Saves soooo much time!

If I were you, I’d compare the 3 rotor to the sailor chassis. If the sailor car is cleaner, swap the drivetrains, maybe strip the chassis down to properly fab/paint, then make the sailor car the new 3 rotor, and the current 3 rotor the missile. Leave a good clean chassis alone, it’s just going to get smashed up drifting anyways

[@toomanycars4800]

You deserve a beautiful turbo 2 street car. This is probably the best candidate you can find.

[@johnsimons6748]

I don't envy your position right now, and then again I do🤣. You just got yourself that rare barnfind kinda thing. It's so good I can imagine this one is to clean to use for a driftcar build. And it might be the best thing to do an OEM+ restoration on this chassis. Like Adam did on his R34. And find another chassis for the 3 rotor. It could prove to be a great investment to go this route. A clean restorated FC could be pretty good value. So you got yourself into a pickle. From one project into 2. But it would make great content.
