How are we?
 
Im Stu 25 from Ipswich. Currently have a 200sx s14a running about 300bhp and now by complete accident im going to have a look a an FD3S tomorrow.
 
The car is currently owned by a bloke ive just started working with and its a bit of a bargain. Well could be providing all is well with the engine.
 
So soon i might be rolling in my 1st rotary. Only problem is i no nothing about them so looking for some advise.
 
Ill post it up in another part of the forum.
 
Look forward to gaining some knowledge. Speak to you soon.
 
Stu

Saw your thread on DW. Glad to see you\'ve come over here for a read up. I think it\'ll be a bargin even if the motor is toast. Fingers crossed it isn\'t mind. Oh and don\'t believe all the crap you hear about the rotary. It can be reliable.

lol Stu. I have just gone from a 300bhp to an RX7 by "accident" haha. I just couldn\'t say no. Had it 1 month and had to rebuild the engine. 3 grand. Not good. Jimmys Mazda did the work and I can highly recommend him - very nice guy.

You really need to get a compression check done on these cars before you buy them. If I had a chance to do it all again, I know I would be!
