Any RX-7 TII DD's out there?

I am having to use my 88 TII for a daily driver for about 5 months, it had its motor replaced 8k ago and has 9.3 or higher in compression on both rotors, no leaks, and was bought from the original owner who babied the thing. I was just wondering who else has had to do something like this.

Thanks
Marty

I've been daily driving mine since I got it. It's been about 2 years now. Only problems I had were the turbo seal going, wiper switch problem, and headlight switch problem. Drive it mainly on the freeway to and back from school, so my gas mileage hasn't been so bad.

I use mine as a daily driver. it's really fun smoking ricers on a daily basis.
the only complain I have is that the more you drive it, the more it gets scoped out by thieves and vandals. Be Extra Careful
