Title: My mate has bought an RX7
Post by: Homebrew on October 30, 2004, 09:11:09 PM
Hi guys my mate has just bought an RX7, its red, J plate, and he said somthing about it having a type r body kit? Anyway it\'s a great looking car, and all for the price of 2 grand. It does need a bit of work doing to it though, for starters it is overheating maybe thermostat? And is has some damage to the wing. He doen\'t have access to the net so may post up some questions for him when he starts to do the work on it.
Cheers guys.

The Rotory engine is very fragile!!!! It only needs to overheat a little, and it\'ll be knackered.

The housing is made of two different metals that expand at different rates, as one is inside the other, there is no room for compromise. Get it seen to straight away! AND TOW IT THERE, DON\'T DRIVE IT:(
