hey guys, im pretty new to this forum, ive always liked rx-7, but my friends keep telling me about blowing motors... which is the only reason keeping me away from rx-7's, so i have a question, i know that blown motor happens alot for a rx-7, but is there any way to stop it? for example, a DSM have crankwalk, but if you swap the engine with a 6-bolt, your off for a pretty good start. so is there anything like this for a rx-7? or is it just the way it works and there is no way to help it but to thrown in countless amount of money to rebuild it?

 

yes there called reliability modifications. blown motors dont always happen ALOT but theyll happen without good care.

 

Either buy a super low mileage car or one with a new engine in it already. Keep it stock/near stock, take good care of it, and you should have a fairly trouble-free car.

BTW, I saw your WTB post in the Classifieds, and $10K isn't going to be enough for a decent car. You're either going to have to settle for one with a salvage title or one that needs some work.
