Default What should I get?

Hello to all!

I am looking for a car to rebuild with my sons and I want to give them the best. Rotary is the best and only Mazda has it. What does everyone recommend I start with? I'm not looking for a lot of power, but after the first I may move on to a second or third.

Thank you for the help,

Default RE: What should I get?

get a first gen FB Rx-7 (1978-1985) Mazda Rx-7, they are the cheapest and slowest rx7s they make, but they make a good cheap project car. Well cheap for rotaries, rotary is never cheap to rebuil/restore, but if you want to go rotary, go rx-7. now if you have more money, you can go for 2nd gen like me and get an FC (1986-1992) Rx-7 N/A or Turbo. And if you are loaded with $$$ get an FD (1993-1995) Rx-7 It has twin turbos, but is a pain in the *** to resotre, hard on the wallet, and ins't very reliable. Best bet is FB (1st gen) or an FC (2nd Gen). The FC will be good if you want to restore it and give it as a gift to the older son. It is faster, more practical (fuel injected vs. FB's carb.) and it has a very comfortable interrior in my opinion. Those are your best options for rotary.
