Interested in Buying a Rx-7

Hello, this is my first time on this board and I was wondering if you guys could help me with some answers to some of my questions about the 3rd gen rx-7... I am looking for one to use as a daily driver. What do I need to look for when im buying one? I have heard many horror stories about thier reliability and having to rebuild engines at 30-40k miles, is this true or is only if you beat the crap out of it? What is the highest milege I should look for without really having to worry about it? And lastly do you guys all agree with me when I think it is the most bad-*** car out there as far as looks, handling and speed? Any other advice or personal statements about this car would be greatly appriciated

Thanks

go check out these websites:

http://www.rx7turboturbo.com/robrobinette/

http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/index.html

http://rx7.voodoobox.net/infofaq/bguide3g/bguide3g.html

These will give you much of the info you need, although I think some of the reliability mods are paranoid and go too far.

BTW....you didn't exactly choose the best sign for an RX-7 forum. Some of the forum members are more hostile than others.
