I may agree. If you buy an RX-7, you had better beware that you're about to become a mechanic of your own vehicle; unless you like giant paper weights.

either take satanicmechanic up on the offer or find a good shop, not mazda. Mazda techs are not good with rotary, take in your Miada, you MAzda 3, your 323, not your 7.
