The name's James. Recently made a purchase of an 87 Rx-7 5speed w/84.5k on it. I'm sure it was a good buy, but i have a couple questions... Is the 13b a good motor and are there any common problems with a rotary type engine? Any help/tips, etc would be greatly appreciated.

 

I definitely do not know much about them, so i wont give you any advice on them, other than check out the 2nd gen specific forum, and the faq section, i have been reading on it for a couple days now, and am finding a lot of good info...

btw nice find, and good luck with the car... they sure are fun... just picked up my first on sunday, its a 90 vert...

 

Welcome,,

 

thanks. couldn't pass the deal up. a couple problems and DEFINITELY needs a good paint job - this one's orange peeling and running like a track star, but 1800 for this clean of a car is good in my book. i grabbed a haynes manual for it, but figured i'd ask the vets on here.

 

welcome! and this site has helped me fix all kinds of stuff aside from the haynes. I haven't even felt the desire to post or ask questions due to all the archived info. good luck with your new 7!

 

Welcome to the world of empty wallets!! just kidding.... hopefully. only advice i can give is always let it reach optimum operating temp before you turn it off, and don't let it overheat!!!! other than that, enjoy it!!
