Hey guys,

I'm VERY new to RX-7's and Rotary's. I'm planning on looking at a few within the next few days. (FB & FC's).

Coming off Craigslist worries me a little bit, not to mention the fact that I have absolutely no clue what to look for in these vehicles.

Could you guys offer me some insight as far as what I'm looking for mechanically as well as aesthetically? (Other then the frame rail behind the seats. I did a little research!) I know a 20 year old vehicle can't be perfect... or can it?

Coming to this scene is something more than I could've ever imagined. I've been lurking the forums for about a day now and have figured some things out, but I still come across things that make me scratch my head.

Unfortunately, we all can't afford FD's! I'm trying to reduce my debt, not go deeper! So hopefully the RX-7 scene doesn't have as many folks looking down on members with previous generations as I've seen in my time in the F-Body scene. You wouldn't imagine the amount of people that looked down upon third-gens when compared to forth-gens. Oh well, I had both.

Thanks guys!

 

You might check the classifieds on here (main one or the one for NE regional). You would probably have a better chance on getting something that is solid and has been taken care of on here compared to craigslist.

Oh, definitely. I've been doing a bit of both. Only 2 had caught my eye on craigslist, and unfortunately, one is a 2 hour drive and the other is a 6.

Oh awesome! Exactly what I was looking for.

 

Thanks for the links yall, I'm in the same boat.

 

get the car inspected by a rotary specific shop, or a shop your buddy knows very well
