Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a rx-7, but i heard that they have alot of problems with the engine and turbo's. They say that people have to replace the engine and turbo's after 50,000 miles. I was just kinda wondering if that was the car, or the person that drives it?

 

Rx7girl..

Are you pretty??? Because only Pretty women
are allowed to drive mazda RX7 Twin turbos..

We need your height and weight..

Oh yea to answer your question.. Its the DRIVERS
fault.. MINE has 130K miles with original motor and
turbos..

 

Yep, at 50,001 miles the engine will no longer work.


please do a search, about one million of these threads, about 3-4 a week.

 

There is a lot of myth behind the rotary and reliability. It is like a Farrari, if you take good care of it and replace/repair/maintain everything on time then it will last a long time. I'm at 60k with no issues at all, 100% origanal... I have a friend who is clocking 160k on his Rex, stock engine as well. Turbos, if really ragged on could go at 90k-120k, but even they can last a long time with proper cool-down, keeping from overspooling/spiking, etc...

There are rules to the car, if you are hard on it that is okay, but no matter whether you are a grandma or you are an Andretti always:
-change oil + filter every 2-3k
-change fuel filter every 15k
-assure air filter is in good shape and airbox is clean
-maintain belts and hoses, assure none are cracking or dry
-NEVER overheat, if you car is running above 105c I would say stop driving it until it has cooled

Theres more to it but I mean it isnt hard, most people should take care of their cars in this mannor anyways, they just dont. Most piston engines arent as sensitive to 'harsh' conditions as rotaries... thats why they still run after people dont change the oil after 10-12k, or the coolant after 4+ years, never change the air filter.... hit the rev limiter every chance they get, etc.

I'm sort of running on, so I'll let someone more knowledgable make more sense.

i kinda figured that it was the driver.. i dont know that much about rotary engines, but hopefully i will learn... another question. Are all rx-7 twin turbo?

 

Check this link:

It will answer most of your questions.

 

we need a visual of you, that way we can understand if the rx7 twin turbo machine is compatible with you

 

why do you want to know what i look like... i dont go asking what you guys look like do i?

 

why did you have to sign on a different name to say that?

and the rule for this board is any girl that signs up has to show a pic, or they dont get any info..

 

But we would be more then willing to show you our pictures if you asked.

 

i dont know why it came up as that name, i was wondering the same thing. i'm at work so it could have been the computer i'm at, someone could have used it before me.. but it's all good, i already got my info.... besides i dont think my work has pics of me laying around...

 

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's a BIT excessive. But, if you think it needs it that often, then by all means..

 

Eh... 18 year old girls driving a very fast TT rwd car. Please dont.

 

Hey guys

She a Hottie..

Sorry I am not privledged to give out her Figures..
But noting wrong with young and RIPE that can
turn a wrench.. = )

 

Well, My First FD was totaled because a Female 16 year old was given the keys to a BMW M3.. I truly doubt an 18 year old will be any diffrent please learn how to drive before you buy a Sports car..


By the way did I mention I was 17 when I got my first FD and only 18 when it was wrecked and 18.5 when I got my Second.

 

god, you guys are horny 10th graders I swear.
