those gtus are pretty rare from my understanding... alot more rare than fds.. my fd has been nothing but problems since i got it.. only has 33k miles but loooks as though it has 120k already blew the motor.. seeing as though this was my first car and i didnt know jack about rx7s and ran out of oil.. so the blown motor was my fault but i got a shitty rebuild and have had problems ever since..

Dude your motor can blow up 4 times and your still lucky as hell...I wish I could have an FD. I still love my T2, but rolling up in an FD makes ladies panties drop when you drive by. All the ladies ever ask about my car is why my hood scoop isn't centered which pisses me off.

BTW my motor has 16,000 miles on it and will probably blow soon cause I've been using full synthetic oil every 3,000 miles for a year now and I just read somewhere to NOT under any circumstances use synthetic to only use mineral oil. So don't feel bad cause mine will probably blow too and I'm 18 and broke.

Are you serious??? I'm worrying for nothing...guess I do need to do more searching. I just remember reading that synthetic doesn't burn up right in the engine and leaves carbon deposits which evetually build up to the point that they crack an apex seal.

Here is the site that I saw it in...read the big red letters.

Those are the same people that said the more you rev your engine, the more you wear down your seals.
