My first rotary

Well the day has finally come, I've wanted a rx7 for sometime now but due to all my money going to the car i was driving a suped 03 lancer with a fully built top end, and fully adjustable coilovers, was soon to get a ballanced botom end with moly rings but timing belt ate itself one day siting at a light engine blew, girlfriend who was paying for car let it get repo'd so on to somthing new. but i still miss the lancer....... I'm fairly confident at workig on my own cars i've had some expeirence with extreemly difficult to work on cars such as a 2001 eclipse gt with a fwd V6 so to change the sparkplugs you have to remve the throttle body and intake manifold, so i thing i can handle what ever this car can throw at me but i know very little on how a rotary engine works, but i catch on fast. well i hope this post past the test

So your thinking about a RX7?!?! FC is the way to go! Just my opinion! Good stock power, plenty of room for performance, and great handling (except for the slightly less steering degree, but **** just drift that ****!

LoL

I'd have to see the car and it prob wouldn't be that bad of a deal, but unless you can fix the clutch leak yourself or find someone to do it for you then I'd say keep looking! I got very lucky with mine!!
