If its getting really hard to start, your compression will be low, time for a rebuild!:mad:
Open ended question mate. Lots of things can mean a rebuild, from rough idling to overheating.
Why? Have you got a problem?
both of the above lol time for a rebuild i gess
get a compression test bud!
get it towed somewhere and find out whats actually wrong.
spending money on a rebuild that isnt necessary is a waste
but equally killing off a good engine by either using it wrong (warming up - cooling down) or not spotting a problem early enough is also a false economy.
any faults you have may be very quick and easy but many things can cause the motor to die a perhaps undue death.
Is this just engines???? or have the wheels fallen off? That\'s sometimes a good indication that the car needs a rebuild ;)

lol very funny! i would get it taking to some where but i live miles away from any place good! well so i think!
My car used to run rough and overheat, turned out to be the LIM gasket.
Get it checked out before you shell out needlessly.
Have a do down to Mazda at silverlink and get them to do a compression test or give jm-imports a ring he is local and imports a lot of rx7\'s so might be able to point you in the right direction.
I had to keep adding water so thought water seals gone rebuild time, took it to WGT and the filler top had cracked the part that bolts onto the filler neck that the cap attach\'s too.
12 quid later no more problem, dont think the worst sometime its a just knowing what else could be wrong.
yeah jurgan vallons i know the lad! i think i might pop to mazda just would hate to think what they would charge!
bring it to me and i can tell you mate.

Most unlikely, no gestapo of any sort on FD:UK. Pop on and speak to Nige, Max or Ant - they\'ll sort you out.
In all its years I\'ve never known anyone come remotely close to being banned so I wouldnt take whatever happened to heart!!
