My best advice is to not be lazy and do some searches and you will find exactly what you need.  That\'s a lot of info you are after and has been discussed many times before.  Won\'t take 2 mins to find what you\'re looking for.

Mark.

I rushed in to buy my Rx7, and lived to reget it, had to have new suspension, wheels, clutch and an engine rebuild all within the first 3 months of ownership with 65.000 km on the clock. I really wish I had reseached more and get more advice on purchaseing the car before racing out and buying the first one i saw. I would get a compession test as a must, it will give you a really good idea on how good the engine is. and become a member of this club, it has helped me out on countless occassions.

But I do not reget owning one I love driving it they are great cars from the looks to performance, as for BHP and 0-60 it is hard to say as it depends on what you are buying from standard to highly tuned,

As for reliably, it is a bit of a mif, now the engine is rebuilt it is awesome never fails starts first time even when it has been stood for a while. Watch now I have said that watch it go POP!!! :o

Good luck with the sreach, you will not reget it.

teamshock nick is a name that either has a surname beginning in G or are you coping someone car and name?

There is a guy called Nick who owns a web site and a car called shock, he has been in all the car mags, just seemed a coincidence that you are calling yourself teamshock nick, so I wondered if you were related as he lives not too far from you or if you were coping his name, not that it bothers me....... just curious, so others dont confuse you with him.

I noticed you are in my neck of the woods, does the RX2 ever venture into Reading?
