DC5r or Rx7??

MR2 (SW20T - gen3 onwards)

what were the reasons you decided on the dc5r and rx7?

i smell a hint for taking it to the track...

Good call. MR2 GT is a good option. Small, nimble, powerful. Make sure you get the later model one that has the smaller swaybar through, unless you like ending up backwards in a ditch.

FD > DC5R

actually, pretty much anything > DC5R imho

thats why i suggested gen3 onwards, the bonus is that it has 168kw engine.
they are pretty cars to get around if you know how to drive a mid-engined rearwheel drive turbo cars.....
i had a gen2 version and had heaps of fun, at the time, i couldnt find a decent gen3 for an engine transplant.:thumbdwn:

13B-REW is pretty good stock as long as you don't increase the boost, it'll live a long and happy life. As soon as you start to increase boost say more than 4psi than stock which is from memory 7psi... Then you can kiss the turbos goodbye (Ceramic build and Turbine housing crack :p) and probably engine failure. If you wanted more power, I'd ditch the sequential and revert to a single or a parallel turbo setup and look towards some engine work like better Apex seals, lighter rotors, Eccentric Shafts, Mild porting, etc etc

SW20 is good stuff especially if you get the late model GT-S, you pretty much get the GT4 3S-GTE :D

you want rear wheel drive or front wheel?

keep your dc2 or FD. there shouldnt be a reason to go from a dc2-dc5 unless your car is turning to shit and want somethign newer. If you want something faster and just better in every way except for fuel efficiency and probably reliability FD. I would definately buy the FD they are an awesome car..oh way better than an s2k aswell.

FD ftw!!
