What's up with so many people asking others how they should spend their money? Everyone has different tastes and opinions. Do your own research and when you have learned about all you can, make your own informed decision.

Part of the research process is asking those who have been there questions.

I found a car that has aTwin turbo rotary engine, street ported, 3mm apex seals, all by R&R Rotary w/ approx 2K miles (originally 130+) on rebuilt engine. AST upgraded, vacuum lines replaced w/ silicone hoses, M2 downpipe and custom exhaust w/ 3" Stainless piping. I was wondering if this will be a good reliable setup for the car since i live in the desert area? im posting this since im sure i will get a good and honest response from you guys. THANKS!

Does it have upgraded oil cooling? Does it have an upgraded rad? Does it have an upgraded intercooler? If you live in a desert and you're making more power than you want good cooling any way you can get it.

It won't be reliable if it doesn't have some sort of ECU replacement (if "custom exhaust" means a midpipe, better if it was a PFC). What does it have?

I did a research about the 3rd gen Rx7 and it is an awesome, high performance car and also a high maintenance car. I admit that i might not be able to afford keeping a car like this since. Thanks for all the responses and help from FD owners. Buying the car is easy for me but maintaing it is pretty high. FD owners are lucky since you own a high performance car and able to keep up with the maintenance. I envy you people but i have my own priorities in mind. But i heard theres gonna be a new Rx7? I think Im gonna aim for that one! Again, THANKS!
