Working Difficulty...?
I sold my Z about a month and a half ago and not now but in a few months time I'm maybe looking into purchasing another vehicle (toy). I've shopped around and I just can't find anything new that really appeals to me. I guess I'm turning into my parents liking the style of cars when I was in my teens as well....as most of the new cars just don't do it for me. I love the styling of the mid 90's sports cars...RX7, 300ZX, Supra, MR2..etc..
Basically I'm looking into RX7's, I owned a 2nd Gen GXE when I was 16, but at that time I was stupied and knew NOTHING about cars.
I try and do all the work on my cars, this means engine swaps, tranny's whatever. The Z was a MAJOR pain in the ***, I'd rather put 2 engines in my (daily)Sentra then do another transmition/cluth job on a TT Z. I guess I'm a pansy, but it was just a big pain....with everything be so tight fitted... My GS-T was cake, and my Integra was cake. So my question is, whats the working difficulty under the 3rd Gen Rx7. Is everything a tight squeeze and a pain to work on? Or would you compare it more to something like the Eclipes/Integra? It's been quite some time since I've (in person) seen under the hood of a 3rd Gen 7.

Call me gramps!
This car isn't as bad as the 300ZX(TT), but it isn't nearly as easy as something like an Integra. I've worked on a ton of Modular Fords...and I'd consider this to be a pain to work on.

The FD is plenty easy to work on. You just take it up to the shop give them the key then come back in a few days and bam all done.
But on a more serious note the space is very limited and everything is a tight squeeze.
