RX7 buying help...
Hi all,
Just looking for a bit of information really, I currently own a JDM Honda Prelude VTEC but am hoping to become an RX-7 convert within the next 6 months.
Basically, i'm 21 years old and although I can afford the car and insurance i'm not too sure about the running costs - whats an average years servicing costs? does a lot go wrong on the rotary engines? I'm used to pretty good reliability with the Honda engine, how does the RX-7 compare?
Also, i've heard stories of complete engine rebuilds needed at anything from 40,000 to 80,000 miles, is there any truth in this?
I'm looking at getting an R1 if at all possible so any buying info specific to the R1 would be handy.
Thanks in advance.
