gonna need a car soon, was thinking about a 86-91 RX7. I read the "how rotory's work" sticky....
Here are my questions:
Which 86-91 is the best to get my hands on? Turbo II?
How reliable is the rotary for daily driving (ie...bumper to bumper traffic) with mild mods
How expensive is it to rebuild a Rotary is something goes wrong?
What should I look for (or look out for) in a RX7?
Help....

The best in my opinion for a first time rotary owner would be a 86-88 GXL, or a 89-91 GTUs. Any N/A is good for a daily driver. I've heard TII's are a little trickier to maintain, but I could be wrong. That post that Tory (Rotary Buddah) put up is good reference as to what to look for while shopping for a FC. It is about $1000 plus shipping for a rebuild to be done by someone else.
www.rotaryressurection.com is a good guy that rebuilds rotarys for cheap. Good luck in finding one.
