I think the car looks to be in great shape! And I'm loving the looks! Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I know absolutely nothing about rotaries so anything I need to look for when this dude comes down would greatly be appreciated. Also can someone recomend a shop to do a once over on it??

go to some of the RX7 forums and read about them.. then after you read a good bit of information like what are some of the more common problems, how does a rotary engine work, where the pistons are located, etc etc..

then make your decision..

I guess your right but man none of my lady friends would even think about gettin in the hatch! The seven = the sex! Plus it has A/C. If worst come worst and the motor goes one day I can pick up a 302 and really get er done!

Well I know the apex seals tend to go and what not...and there's no pistons brohiem! I had an 83 rx7 in HS and no one woud believe me that it didn't have any pistons!



I don't think the frame would twist with a stock 302 in there...I'll have to get sneakon on this one!

My biggest fear is giving up a car that runs flawlessly for something that could potentionaly cost me money to fix up later on down the road!
