hey guys, nice forum you got here. So here s the deal, i have a 93 Stealth TT that i am in love with. The AWD, the big hp, everything...i love. So here s the problem, i REALLY love the RX7's. Its like I m married but am wanting an affair with another car!! I m just wondering what you guys like and dislike about your cars. I f i m looking at finally departing from Mitsu I wanna know whats out there good and bad. Maintence costs high??(can t be higher than a stealth!!! 2nd mortage everytime a do something to it!!!) what kind of engine life does a rotary have?? Anything would help, thanks guys

Check out this site

It has some good info.
What will be your main use of the car? Daily driver, weekend warrior?
How much do you know about rotary's and rx-7 in general.
Do you do your own work?

Hey, I think your wife there is a little overweight. A little on the chunky side....know what I mean? The 3rd Gen RX-7 mmmmm, what a hottie. It's got the curves in all the right places. And she's slim and trim. She's really got the moves, not like that fat old lug of a wife you got. When you get it on with an RX-7, she can really perform. High maintenence? I suppose they both could give you trouble after a while, but with the RX-7, the pleasure is worth the pain.

I know a guy with a tt stealth and the only mods he has is exhaust and intake. That car is so damn fast from a stop i cant believe it. Granted hes running DR's all the way around but it still burns them to ****. I absolutley love the awd turbo stealths- vr4's. I have a friend right now almost finished with his 3000gt and it will 'theoretically" be the fastest in ohio. We'll see when he gets in finished. Keep your AWD twin turbo beast....DONT EVER GET RID OF IT!

uhhhh....beg to differ there dude, but I have raced at least a dozen 3000GTs and I totally steamrolled every last one of those porkers....they might get a little jump in first, but by the time I hit second they are history
1,000 extra pounds of fat doesn't do much for quarter mile times...think about it

Tommy, I know when the VR starts to fade it kinda turns pink but that is just outragous.
The rx7 is a higher maintenence car if you want it to last. Underhood temps are high therefore causing more hoses to crack.
You only have to do a few mods to 7 to get low 12's or high 11's.

hey thanks guys,
right now i got intake, and Blitz BC @14-15 psi. Ran a 13.6 1/4 this summer and it was my first time to a track. I don t lose to much. But I ve never raced an RX before. I mean i smoke Cobra's and MOST LS1's but you guys are right, she is a heavy girl. Having said that...being in Canada here, there is NO sub for AWD. I think the guy asked it best when asking what the usage of the car would be. Until I can afford a winter AWD talon AND a RX...I better try to keep my marriage strong!! Maybe some councelling classes. Oh what am i saying...they are both wicked cars!!! thanks for the advice. I was SO tempted a few months ago i saw a MINT 93 Rex driven by this midleage chick. Had 60k on it and she was THE only one to drive it, said she never had it over 3000 rpm!!! I gave her my # if she ever wanted to sell, so who knows, down the road i may be one of you guys... thanks again

I drive mine 'spiritedly' , spending most of the time between 3000 and 5000 rpms.
Still though - a good excuse to have it ported while its out!

my bro had a brand new 92 tt when they first came out and i must say it was fast! he put an exaust on it and it was amazing. also the motor was bullet proof, he never had any problems with it compared to my rx-7. take my advice if you do not want to spend 5 or 6 grand extra for repair costs than the 7 is not a car to be considered! dont get me wrong i love the car but if you are not prepared to empty your wallet at every turn than its not for you. the worst thing about the car is that there is no one skilled enough to work on them around here. i have to drive a hundred miles to get maintenance done so make sure you have a good mechanic lined up cause you will need it.
