NO!

Stay clear unless you are ready to rebuild the motor. Rotaries don't like to overheat at all and you won't know how much damage was done til you tear it down.

hwo much is it, if cheap, just throw engine and turbos away and just buy a new one with single turbo upgrade. if you cant afford that, buy a moped cuz you wont beable to even buy a fricken civic!

If it actually overheated then it the motor is a ticking time bomb. Did this on my old FC and the motor was tost in a couple of months. Deduct the cost of a new motor in the price

the guy wants $8000 O/B/O

THANK'S FOR THE FEEDBACKS

for 8,000 I'd definately go for it. That will give you about another 8,000 to fix stuff and still be getting a decent deal. What I mean is, a good running FD is usually worth 16,000 or so. So for 8,000 even if repairs cost you another 8k, you won't be paying too much.

they are time bombs when they over heat. i over heated because a rad hose blew. and then month later out of noware pop there it went :(. if you are getting it for cheap and got the cash to get it fixed up i say go for it!

8K is a good deal if you can afford a new engine.

how's the body? cuz that's what your gonna have to look at right now.... f' the motor because you're gonna have to get another one or rebuild

the paint is peeling and this stupid guy cut too much the springs and the tires hit the fender-

lol wait a minute.. what part of jersey are you from? or actually where is the car you're trying to buy located?

i think i might know who's car that is...hahaha

fenders are cheap, just buy new ones and bolt them on. also, idk what your gonna expect from an 11 year old car but i doubt that the paint will look brand new. 8k is a good deal though and if i were you, id totally go for it.

there is a 7 on ebay for 10 grand worth about 50k if its on the up and up. you might want to consider this one
