I think they go something like that.

Not (can't afford!) to get rid of the 200 and wouldn't want to! Haven't finished molesting it yet :D

Just thinking for in a few years, and mostly out of general curiosity. Hmm... Anyone got any info on RX-7's or anywhere I could find out more about them? :)

They are gorgeous motors, but don't they need to be rebuilt before u start modding them or summat? Or u rebuild the engine every 2 miles. ;) Well every 40000 I've heard mentioned.

the old single dizzy 12a used to expire around the 70-80k mark, reason being the apez seals would slowly wear away the slot at the top of the rotor(3 per rotor) so that it would end up slopping about a bit and instead of the radius potion running on the chamber the edges would contact and this in turn leads to the chrome in the bore of the chamber being scraped away and then loss in compression, prob being i dont think anyone in this country can replate and grind the chambers, the rotors are easy to mod, grind out the slot and fit oversize carbon seals. the later 13b turbo was prone to going sooner coz of the inctreased compression and strain on the apex seals. the 13b used in todays rx7 should be good for at least 60k if maintained well

my mate bought one last year, within a month the damn thing went pop!, as luck would have it the damage was covered under warrenty 6 wks later, and alot of cash she was back on the road. Problems ever since.:( , nice when it works though.

Sounds like an S13, but nicer. :)

My mates got a totally stock RX7 (newer shape). 280bhp as stock and alot lighter than the 200.

With mine averagely modded and pulling 240-280 bhp ... he can whip me in 1st and 2nd gear ... in 3rd I pull away from him :eek: and 4th and 5th are about the same.

the only major difference is he can grip and go round corners ... its a lot tighter than the s14.

They are Luvly cars shame bout the durability of the rotary engine, othewise in my view They are One of the best cars to get in the £8K range, and yes I want one if had some hard stash.
