From the "How to buy" guide Here
I read this in the How to buy guide, and was talking to a guy at Mazdatrix today. He about shat himself when I was talking about it, said I shouldnt do it. Can someone please explain why this is or why this isnt a good idea to do?

 

cuz if you blow up someones rx7 they will beat the **** outa you

 

well, if the car cant handle being run at 6 grand for 30 seconds, then i dont want the damn thing

Anyone else?

 

Not everyone likes for someone to come up to their house and rev up their car for about 30 seconds. I mean if i was selling the car I'd do it myself if the person asked me to do it. Like DubbayoC said, I'd beat the **** out of anyone who F- up my FC while I was trying to sell it. But I dont really get how revving it up to 6k for 30 seconds then letting go of the gas to see smoke can tell u the oil seals are going. I would like for someone to elaborate on that.

 

put down $1k before anyone try on my FC. can't let other people abuse my 7, other than me.

 

Umm... isnt that a big no-no?

 

eh...you don't need to hold it there for that long, its like 5 seconds and you'll notice the smoke come up.

 

30 seconds? Just run it to redline once and let off...under load if you can.

As long as it's not hot, it's fine.

The "rev" test shouldn't damage the car in the least. Be suspect of anyone who doesn't let you perform the necessary tests on the car.
