I was looking to buy a FD but i have heard so many bad reps about rotary's, obviously i know it has to do with the driver. So i am joining the community to learn what i can about maintaining a rotary the correct way. And to find better places to search for FDs on the market. And it seems autotrader and ebay are not working so well as of now.

 

I hope you find a great 7.. Welcome to the club everything you would like to know is here!

 

Welcome to rx7club! if you look through the 3rd gen specific i know theres a thread on prolonging the life of your rotary etc. basically keep up to date with the regulars like oil changes with new oil filters, plugs, good gas, cleaned injectors, and cooling tends to be an issue as far as i read. for fd's stock mount intercoolers are good and vmounts are excellent with a duct. front mounts tend to block to cool flow of air that goes to the radiator... goodluck with your search and hope you find a keeper! check out the 3rd gen fs threads

 

well rotary engines can last a long time too, all it needs is a loving/caring owner theres a lot of 7s around, but how much do u wanna pay @.@

 

Start by reading the FAQ threads for the particular generation you are looking for. Those threads often have buyer's guides as well.

Once you understand what to look for, start looking on this forum, craigslist, autotrader, cars.com, ebay. The owner of this place is often on the forums. I can't remember if he is a vendor but he does post cars for sale on here sometimes.

rx7's are sweet.. as long as you dont keep the dinky rotery engine. V8 swap is sooo much better. plus i read it weighs a lot less than a rotery

 

Honestly this guy is not all there in the head, Don't listen to anything that V8FC says.

 

it weighs alot less??
