Wow.. a female into rotarys
Ok the best web site for info and alot of tech help is RX7CLUB.
Theres no other out there.
A FD is a big step for a first time rotary owner.
It needs a little more attention then gassing it up and then go.
Im sure you know rotary engines consume* oil,about a quart every 1000 miles.If oil leaks like (Joe2Dmax)Its more like a gal a week
Ok then overheating.You have to watch the water temp very closely..
Rotarys dont like to get hot,alot of things can warp.Plates/rotor housings.
Now you want to get into boost.Average on a FD engine,I would say would be 70-80k.Im not saying there wont be any out there with more.Its just up to how you maintain the engine/car.
If im correct,they recommend rebuilding the turbos at 60.
Another problem that can cause major problems would be timing/air/fuel leaning out the engine to much,will do damage.. Break apex seals etc etc.
If your going to get a rotary,you need some knowledge.I knew the basics when I started,but the more and more I got ripped off by local shops.The more I had to learn.I got lucky that I broke down one night.Another rotor head,stopped to help me out,and come to find out he worked at another dealership like 5 mins from mine.
I learned alot from this guy,and glad someone took the time to teach me,so i try to pass on the good info to others who want to learn.
A FD is a big step to own a rotary with no knowledge,and they are very expensive to fix.I would say to start off with something a little older,but a chick in a FD is hot
What are your plans on buying a FD for?
Daily driving?
Week end fun?

Just curiuos..
