oh another thing why do some of you guys say go turbo and some dont. what do u think i should do about that? cause if buying a used turbo car. wouldnt i have more problems? or can they be fixed quickly?
i mean the work is no problem cause my friend is just opening up a shop like 5 blocks from my house and im learning more and more everyday i work there. so if i need to work on my car the shops right there.

but it's finicky......but can make as much HP as your willing to spend for.......there are so many things that could be wrong in a seven that we have posted most of the problems on this forum.......HAve fun searching and remember: IF you have a question about ANYTHING related to the RX7 then someone has already asked it so SEARCH........you should expect to search for a while before you make the purchase............If you're looking for a car to beat up then I would ask you to look elsewhere.......

look fellas. i just want a 7 i dont want a 240. im going to buy one if you guys have any advice for me that would be helpful and not so critical then great. i want a 7 and my minds made up. so im gonna go with the N/a seeing as i do need to learn the car before i even try turbo anything or changing and experimenting. so there it is. i have touched and drivin a 7 before but the one i drove was for a friend of mine and it ran like trash. the street racing thing i can live without i know a few tracks not far away.

all we are saying is that you won't want one... it breaks... a lot and you have to know what your doing to make sure its running and not breaking... NA or turbo its going to be high maitenence... like imagine dating paris hilton... plus some...

well guys thanks for looking after me and my money but i really want this car. and if it breaks down ill fix it. and if i can't fix it ill ask someone for help and ask them to explain the problems solutions and things i should look for in the future. im committing to this car. besides if i can find the car for less than 6k all the rest is mine. you guys forget the uncle is paying
and i have a job so yea itll be ok. im jumping into this blind but im looking for the best and if i have problems then ill work with itanother reason i want this car is to take my cousin's Trans am and make it kiss the ground my 7 rolls on.
(one day not anytime soon come on guys im not that stupid be serious those things come with like 390ponies but i can eat him up on the corners

bro you are in for the ride of your life...oh when your engine blows it cost thousands to rebuild and beating a trans am will take you about 5000.00 to accomplish
no negative coming from me all power to you but, you know you are not sure about an rx7 yet...wait out your options 6k is alot of money...you can find cars hooked up running well 12's and 13's for that much why waste your uncles money in a n/a
you said yourself you dont want to bother your family for rides and gas money or something like that right...well thats exactly what you will be doing
if you read on the forum you will see 97% of the people who owns an rx7 ..have a problem with their car...so 7 are easy problem magnets
its more of a passion or a bond for you to own a rx7 yet alone a ROTARY!!!
i use to be all piston until i got beat by a rotary IN THE TRACK ...for the last 6 years i have been all rotary
its a passion a devotion to own one not like one because they ride cool or look like they can drift, or the fast and the furious movie has it

If you got the money for the car and a steady job then an Rx7 should be fine for you!
You should just be aware that if you want the potential for serious power to beat your cousins Trans am you should start with a TII or full TII swapped NA car. An NA car will NEVER be able to smack down a trans am unless its on a twistie road.

hey bro
we are not flaming you or trying to get you off the forum....we are just trying to give you some brotherly advice....if you do buy one, buy it because you are ready for the responsibility....good luck
my advice- look at the rx7 forsale section try to find a turbo model
and do lots of searching

The best solution for these cars breaking down is to buy a second, which is a money pit. Thats what I did after going crazy not driving my first rx-7. Also you have to be crazy to buy a car that small... or so some people tell me.
