Do I Buy?
 

I've always been interested in the novelty of rotary engines. The other
day I had an itch to see if I could find any reasonably priced used RX-7's.
I found one.... it's an '87 TurboII. It supposedly runs 12's. Only 500 miles
on it [supposedly (must be re-built)]. Anyways it's only $3,990.

Edit: Fixed the damn long link. - austex

PostEdit: Thanx had no clue how to do it....

buy it
buy it

that's pretty much what I've been thinking... just wasn't sure, I've heard people say that they're a pain in up-keep costs... but, then, other people say that those people are jackasses..... so... I think I'm gonna buy it though. :)

BTW, did you check out the link??

1. Drive it first
2. Get it compression tested. All rotor faces, or just look for anything about 100 on a fll compression test.
3. It has a series 5 body style, so it was either put on their afterwards or it isn't an 87.
4. Any raced Transmission/clutch may very well need to be replaced. Tranny rebuilds aren't cheap but they aren't that bad either, just make sure you'd have the money.
5. Have him show you the papers for the rebuild, otherwise it wasn't rebuilt.
6. Next time when you post the link give it a name so it doesn't mess up the margins

U can sort of tell it was replaced. Its SHINNY compared to the rest of the car. When checking out a Galant vr4. The owner had put in a new shiny tranny. I thought to myself, Let’s take this car and RUN RUN RUN....

I’d like to buy a FC because they aren’t too bad looking…hehehehe

Thanks for the tip on the linkage man. :) As you can see by my name I am a nOOb here. :p

also ask when the clutch was last replaced ! thats a major factor !

read them in order

Neh, buy a new clutch and pressure plate from ACT, resurface your flywheel and you're in business. done yourself the price tag is under 500.

Wait....aren't you doing that Aussy?? Now how is that going... :lol:
