Should i buy a 3rd gen rx-7?
Hey guys i am new to this board, so bare with me.
I have been an avid honda lover for the last 4 years, i have built a few motors but none like the rotorary. anyways i am selling my ITR and am searching my options for a new car. My orignal plan was 98 s10 extreme bagged, then picking up a 94 integra and building the **** out of it and after that was done maybe get a 72 240z and building a honda turbo motor(understand this would be over the course of 2 years). But i got to thinking about it, "why not an rx-7?" i asked myself. So this is why i am here. To find out some about the r-7.
1- how is the reliability on the 3rd gen rx-7? I will be drving this daily and putting alot of money into it, so i need a car that will run every day and not give me trouble.
-if there are soem problem can they be fixed, cheaply and with no work? if they can will it keep the car running strong.
2-where can i get built motors for these cars?
3-what mods can i do for about 10g's to get most horsepower out of a rx-7 but keep it streetable?
please let me know everything possible. If you guys have any other thoughts or suggestions, please tell me.\
let me know guys, thanks.

yeah, most of this can be found in search.
1) in general. 3rd gen rx-7s are known for lots of problems.
- And they are expensive. rotary specialists are rare. and it is a fine line between fixing something minor and buying a new/refurbished engine.
2) umm. there are some out there. www.petitracing.com rules. 20b *moan*
3) do a search.
