Greetings to all,

if this is the wrong section for this thread, please direct me the right way wink1.gif

I am thinking of getting this tiburon http://www.rdtiburon.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=393006 as a trade for my 83 rx-7, and was wondering if anyone could give me their opinion on the car.








here is the rx-7(my car)
Yes, thats a tiburon in the background.

I am currently restoring an 84 rx-7, which included new engine, trany rebuilt, new breaks, new exhaust, fresh paint, and working on a custome wide body and custome interior right now. Also have an 90 rx-7 that i will be starting work on sometime in july. So to put it simply, i love it, but i need to sell it, with a bit of work i might be able to sell the silver tib for 1500$ maybe more, i hope.

Yeah, that is one of the options i'm debating
The black tib is mine, was the first car i got, and since i was still silly i invested to much into it to be able to sell it without loosing out wink1.gif
It is an automatic which is a nice change for when i get tired of driving manual, how much horsepower would i be looking for with 12 or 8 psi boost with that turbo? td04hl t25 flange

btw how easy is it to change the clutch on rd?
and how much do the stock clutches go for? I checked the ebay prices and only found stage 1/2/3 clutches, no stock ones.
