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
