engine and parts
Hi,
Since i prefer rotary i let go of the ls1 rx7 and im in search of one with a rotary, currently this is the only one I found.
So I'm quite new to rotary and my question is what parts is the engine missing? is it just a turbo or other stuff?
Also for the interior how hard is it to get those parts? I dont live in the US or Canada. So need a site that ships international.
And how much is this car worth at max with this condition?
thanks,

I am new here too but if I could give you some advice.... I would avoid cars that have obviously been in a wreck. Aside from missing parts, you don't know if the frame is even straight. This car will definitely cost you a pretty penny to get running again, and there is a good chance you will constantly be fighting with it. I say save your money for a car that is in running condition...at least that way you can take it for a test drive and see what kind of things are wrong with it first.
But what do I know? I'm just a newb

i completely agree with Kraneous. furthermore, even the most hardcore FD guys can still miss important things in a photo. in this phase of searching for a car, you MUST be of the mindset to be prepared to walk away. ward off desperation at all costs, it can cost you a lot more than you imagine.
walk away from this one. keep looking.

the only thing I can add is this.
Your #1 priority if you get a Roller is to make sure the FOUNDATION is sound.That means a good Chassis.
You can get another engine rather easily but it's the CAR that you want.
Once you secure a good car,even without the engine the rest is "gravy".This opens up options of keeping it Rotary or going to the "dark side".
If the Car frame or body or whatever is not sound then it is just really a waste of parts afterwards.The Vehicle may never be "sound"..and you will be wasting valuable time and money trying to Fix something that may not even pass inspection or still be totally unsafe.
That is why I opt to stay with my Way of buying cars: If you can't fix it with a Wrench,walk away.
