Any rx7 gurus out there?

[redzed8]

Been thinking recently about buying a fd3s rx7.

 

The car i been looking at is a uk car apparently lots of history including rebuilds, and a word of mouth rebuid 2000 miles ago.

 

The car is real tidy no dents or scratches and unmodified no rust or rott. Not even an aftermarket air filter or exhaust.

 

 

Whats the things to look for when buying these rotary engine cars ?

 

Ive looked online for guides and found a few but like to know if anyones had experience with these cars.

 

Thanks

Could be wrong but pretty sure Docwra or Jetpilot have had one of these in the past.

 

To be honest, you are better off joining an RX7 forum and seeing if they have any history on the car, there aren't that many about.

Thanks coldel

 

I did try joining an rx7 forum but for some reason it wouldnt let me log in even after resetting passwords ect so i just gave up with that.

 

I assume it was my phone playing up on the site.

 

Il give it another go later.

 

Still if anyone has any info on here itl be great too

i don't know how much truth is in it, but apparently they are well known for vacuum problems. Vacuum pipes splitting (and there are quite a few of them) So it turns into a game of Sherlock Holmes.

Thanks rock_steady.

 

ive seen a few threads on the vaccume pipes causing all kinds of running issues with the standard twin turbos installed.

 

If i do go ahead and purchase the car il probably replace all the rats nest hoses/vaccume hoses ect for new silicone ones if it already hasnt been done.
