Why do all you guys say if the compression on the RX-7 is bad then the car is worthless?

Cause...

1) A proper rebuild is sometimes gonna cost you more than you paid for the car.&nbsp Typically you're looking at $2,000, more if rotors or rotor housings were damaged!

2) If the car hasn't died totally, it will die on you witha few months, if not shorter.&nbsp You end up with a very big and heavy door stop.

Or you could take your chances with a j-spec (around $750), and keep installing them everytime your engine blows. Then sell the left over parts to help buy another one. (see a pattern here?)
