Thumbs up Buying an RX-7

I'm in the UK and about to buy an RX-7. I don't do many miles and want an unmodied twin turbo to have a bit of fun in when I can drive.

Could someone answer a couple of questions for me please?

1) How reliable are they?

2) Are parts expensive?

3) Is there a buying guide on this site?

4) What kind of 0-60mph and top speed should you expect out of an unmodified twin turbo?

Thanks very much.

Read the sticky's at the top of the forum. As long as you properly care for it pritty reliable. Not sure how expensive because your in a different contry then me. Yes at the top of the 3gen section. 0-60 don't remember but 1/4mile is 13.9-13.5 top speed 155.

Are there a lot of rotary shops in UK? In US there are bunch of them so it's more managable to have one. If there aren't any around where u live, I wouldn't recommend buying one(unless you are a rotary mechanic urself .
