Ok,I have a 3rd gen 93' RX7 m/t w/137,000 miles. I got a new rebult engine from mazda with 3mm apex seals.
after market:
>XS engineering single turbo street kit.
>Greddy 2 row intercooler
>Blitz boost controler
>HKS hiper exhaust
>HKS turbo timer
>A'pex power FC ecu & controler
>SPEC stage 3 clutch
>greddy boost gauge
> Fluidyne Radiator

My question is:how reliable will my car be?compared to other cars?As long as I change the oil every 2000-3000 miles and use premium fuel and run my boost at no more then 12psi,can I use my car as a daily driver?will it be reliable in that sence.I need to know all the facts, cause if I dont come up with something good my moms going to sell it.

If Im good to it, it should be good to me right?Cause it will be close to new again.

Any one here bought new engines with single turbo kits and had very little trouble?please all tell me!! the good & bad

Im so mad and upset.by the way, im 18 1/2 and im a student,but my parents pay for every thing cause im going to school.
Today my mom called a mazda mechanic, (a deferent one then the one thats doing the work) just to get a quote,and the lady sayed 93'-94' rx7 are very unreliable and its just a money pitt.Once she heard that she just sayed to me "IM SELLING IT!"I love this car! I dont want to give it up unless I can prove to her it can be reliable.Or can it?

I just test drove a new subaru STI, it cant compare at all!The RX7 is the best car ive ever driven,its even more fun then the 350z.Hope you all can help and tell me about reliability and stuff thanks!

 

how old are you? what do you mean your mom is gonna sell your car? Why do you have the car if you dont know much about it? if you take care of it, it will take care of you. Maintaining the car can be expensive. But its worth every penny. Please dont crash it!

HAHAHA, god I love posts like this.

The strait answer is no one knows how reliable it will be. If you like the car tell your mom what she needs to know and keep the car.

 

Guess what... The mazda mechanic is correct.... It's a money pit but you sure do feel good about putting money into it. If the car brings you as much satisfaction or more than you put into it then keep it, but if otherwise then you should sell it and find something almost as awesome, but also much more reliable. Sorry to disappoint, but this reigns as the truth. Unless someone makes a better rotary, we'll continue to have rebuilds at relatively short intervals.

 

An FD reliable wow never heard that one. Just kidding Mine has been good to me for a while now, even as a daily driver for a few months when beater was down.

 

omg....
