Rx-7's Seem Hard Work!
 

Ive been reading up on Rx-7's and they seem alot of hard work! It looks like they need an engine rebuild around every 60 thousand miles which will cost around 2k and this really puts me off buying one!

What i mean is when your actually lookin for one to buy the engine could be round the corner from a engine rebuild or if its had one it could be a dodgy one. Dont get me wrong that wankle engine is amazing and the fact that in the RX-7 it has two turbo's is feckin porn man!

What do you guys think on it?

Look up Jimmys-rx7.co.uk

They rebuild engines then sell the cars. They usualy use the new rx8 rotor tips which are suppose to last longer and get rid of the 60k rebuild.

Like any high power car they need looking after but due to the fact they are a wankel you REALLY need to let them warm up and cool down.

Lovely cars, just as you say the rebuilds would put me off, need deep pockets imo.

yeh you can add another rotor when you give it a rebuild.

my mate has one and it is incredibly quick.

I wonder how many threads there are about:
"I'm thinking about buying a skyline,RX-7,supra...."

But with no intent of buying.

if they have rebuild by reputable companys like dragon performance you should be grand.

best bet is to get onto rx-7 forums.

ive just started a new job at the railway and its good money, so as soon as i hit 21 and can insure something like this im going to go for it, especially as im still living at home and aint got no bills to pay ;)

Yeah alright fair do's
What age are you now?

Just buy dragon performance :D would probably save you money in the long run haha

lmao probs would save you money if you planned to keep the car! Im 20 at the minute but my saxo will do me till im 21 :) if i can ever get it to work properly! :P

would you guys be bothered bout the rebuilds or would you just buy another car?

..
 

If your not bothered about moving out then go for it bud! :)

a lad i know races one. he had 2 x £3000 rebuilds in a matter of months

feck me you have to be bringing home some money to afford that!

Such nice cars, but sod all that engine rebuilding business.

Erection.

If you get a Rex, youve gotta get a Veilside Fortune II kit

I think everyones forgeting the fuel bill also, i have heard you are lucky to get above 20 mpg in the things.

Screw the engine rebuilds, great car... but not worth a £2000 rebuild after 60k miles.

If you get one, just don't thrash it... as i imagine half the people who own these cars do. Might last longer than expected.

But if you have got the dollar it is an awesome car
