"Apexi" seal?Actually Rx7 is not that bad, about blown engine is how u take care the apexi seal. Bcoz once the apexi seal lose the air compression will drop n it coz the power lost. N when u modify it leave the expect to do it such as ah choi. If u want to knew more can check in Re forum.
Until the end still one things, u want to hve more fun n more economic way to tune ur car then go for turbo piston engine car. If u want linear power then go for vtec or V6(both also sound nice).
dont get me wrong, i think the e7 is greatstill, if looked in every sense, E7 still win in all aspect
- Best driving position
- Best driving view
- Usability perfect as city and highway cruiser
- Engine respond and nimble entering/exiting corner
- Easy to tune compare to rx
- Anyone can drive (mom, dad, sister, wife.....this is bloody important factor!)
- AWD comes handy incase one of your family members drove it into mud or something
In simple, is a sedan version of pajero. And remember a video of E7 vs R35 in a touge ? what happened to the R35 ? heheh
PS: If really REALLY want to beat all these cars, buy a volvo and rechip....hahahahahahahahahahah
Damn u are lucky to own both !i can only comment on the DC5R and EVO7 because i used to own them both.
DC5R
+it looks great
+the fuel consumption is good
+it is relatively cheap to maintain compared to other turbo cars.
+it is a VERY fun car to drive on track (IMO i prefer it more than my EVO7)
+it has six gears
+the sound it makes when VTEC being engaged is out of this world.
+my DC5R rarely gives me problem
-its a two door coupe. so practicality might be an issue for some.
-not as fast as turbo car
-due to its NA nature it can be expensive to increase the hp
EVO7
+it is quicker than DC5 on straight line.
+it is a 4 door saloon 4WD rally car on the road
+i think its cheaper than DC5 on the market rite now. not sure about this
-the fuel consumption is high and to make things worst it has small petrol tank.
-it is an expensive car to maintain. gear box oil, AYC oil, etc need to be changed quite regularly
-the stock clutch is useless.
-IMO the turning radius is a joke compared to the DC5
these are the only things i can think as for now.

my friends have asked me which one you prefer. the DC5R or the EVO7. well to be honest for me the DC5R is the winner.
flame-inducing post deletedTofu,
- I have drove E7, E10, 180SX, MURANO and RX8 for 6months plus when I was in Langkawi
- I maintained all these cars, petrol, oil change etc for 6 months
- Tested these cars on various road
Am I qualified to post my opinion ? Do you posess the same experience as I, if so plz share, thank u.
PS: Dont simply assume who I am, I am just posting according to my driving experience of these cars, and my personal opinion based on practicality. My points of view is including buying them, owning them, maintaining them, letting family driving it and also it's performance on engine n handling. And I am not comparing modded cars, I am comparing based on stock factory setting, the thread starter ask such question and I am giving my opinion to them worth their money. Most ppl bought E7 did not heavy mod them, unless they are trained driver. And may I ask, why are you flaming me ?
