Dear GRM Staff,

Which back issues cover the build-up, install, and tuning of the 13B in the Ro-Spit? Was there ever an FC RX-7 "Buyer's Guide" article?

Thanks,

Ray

Hi Ray-

There were more than 20 installments in the ro-spit series; call us at the office and we'll try to get you set up with the back issues in question.

We haven't done an FC RX-7 buyers guide. I don't know if I see us doing one anytime soon; the cost/rarity matrix for the second-gen cars makes comparison shopping kinda tricky. I can't remember the last time I've seen one that wasn't tweaked or modified in some way, so buying is really a case-by-case effort based on what you can find.

Here you go, a GRM FC RX-7 buyer's guide. It's a little dated, but most of the stuff here should still apply:

There are also these buyer's guides as well:

You can also pick up the Ro-Spit collection in the store.

No problemo, racer_ace! I got my '87 in November. The buyer's guides helped a lot.

Seems to me a collection of all the Ro-spit articles would make an excellent print-on-demand book.

You'll need to log in to post.
