Looking at buying an RX7

Hi

Im new to this forum and RX7s/rotary engines full stop!

Im 20 (soon to be 21) from the UK, looking at buying a '92 RX7, but wanted to ask the opinions and advice from existing owners - ie you guys!

I was told that the wankel engines need to be rebuilt every 60,000miles, so its best to buy an rx7 as soon it has been rebuilt as possible.

Is there anything else i should look out for, and what other problems seem to arise on these cars/have you guys encountered??

Thanks for any help

if you take it for a test drive check for a lack of compresson so u no the apex seals are not rooted and see if it blows an excesive amount of smoke upon start up when cold if it does the side seals on the side of the rotor need replacing
