RX-7 Tips and Experiences (Save someone else from going through it)

About to purchase my first RX-7. This will also be my first RWD car. Im no stranger to horsepower or racing but every car has something it likes to bitch about at the WRONG TIME.
1) Things you didnt consider that bit you in the ***
2) What not to do
3) HOLY ****!!! I MADE IT
4) The tow home
5) What to do. I'll start that one MORE POWAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKXX

If you want more stories, advice, and anecdotes, run a search for the words like "buying first" and see what comes up. Just be sure you buy the RIGHT FD. There are many, many FDs selling for full market price with something very wrong with them. Don't end up with that.

Make sure you buy the right FD, with a healthy engine. Do a compression test before purchasing anything. Don't just rush into buying an FD because you really want one... if you buy it and its not good... its going to hurt. When you do buy one (if not done already) do the reliability mods that make your engine more reliable... read FAQS for these. Because your first RWD, and FD and can't be difficult to drive in the wet... it becames dangerous, but us rotary heads love that I will tell you this, purchases your FD will be one of the greatest things you will ever do Good luck. Make sure you read all FAQS are 3rd gen rx7s first.
