Default 97 Ek vs 89 turbo2

Ok, I own a EK hatch, with some body damage to the side. I found this 89 rx-7 turbo 2 for sale for 2500 dollars. My hatch is pretty clean besides that damage. The rx-7 has typical body wear for being an 89 interior is kinda rough. I drove the t2, and it was pretty quick.

I was wondering if i should sell the ek and get the rx-7.

Any thought?

And why does everyone think all I have is a ef? Why would I be here? I have a eg with a a d15b mini me with alot done not just i/h/e cam, hondata, pistons ect... I'm just saying once a rotory motor goes out have fun. And turbo's probably have been beaten on have fun with apex seals. Just saying I'd keep my honda if I was you, or you will be sorry.

I know what you mean, im just really bored with how slow the thing is and it has a messed up passenger side. and really dont want to have o pay for that and a swap.

If it did blow up, i can always drive this old impreza we have. lol

If you dont know anything about a rotary stay away from it, you'll spend more money in the long run and you'll still have an OLD Mazda.
