mo:WaveBye
any one please?
welcome have u sat in a rx7 yet
as for engine longevity let it warm up before driving and let it call down before switching off,
good maintenance and servicing , if your planning on building your own, a good tuner will help with ways to keep the engine in good nick, such as good intercooler, rad, oil coolers, ignition amplifier,
also a aqua mist system is a good thing to have, staves off the possibility of detonation
no im still looking to buy one but i cant find decent one any idea?
if it helps i\'m 6\' 2" and 14st and i fit fine :)
ok thanks mate
I do a lot of body building and altho I\'m not blessed with height I\'m still quite srtocky and i find it fine. I Belive you can loose a lot of head room with a sunroof, worth remembering. I was the same as you hearing horror story\'s, and after I\'ve had mine for a month now and if hasn\'t missed a beat I\'m slowly not worrying as much. Like previously said gentle driving to let warm up and down and they seem fine. Just had a service at hayward which wasnt to expensive. I looked at a few before I picked mine and I\'m glad I did. There are some duff ones out there so don\'t just stick on the 1st one you see. I ended up paying a bit more than wanted but it\'s worth finding a
Good base, unless you want to be repairing a beat up one.
Any how\'s good luck with the search mate. Where are you from ? There might be someone local that will let you have a sit in there\'s.
i was 17st when i had my rx\'s and no real issues, i think more depends on what kind of seats are in the RX. Aftermarket seats could be tighter also racing bucket seats are going to be a no no :Thumbs-up

This is great advice +1 and remember not to baby it too much, its a sports car it needs to be driven.
ok guys thanks for the advice im from swansea in wales but im not welsh and im looking to buy a ready car with big spec and power on it and personely i do look after anythnik i have in genreal so should be and man up and lets buy one init whats worse gna happen hay..
Mate I panicked so much it was stupid that it wold blow up before I got it home, that it would need rebuilds all the time and it would be a nightmere. Truth is since I\'ve had it, it hasn\'t missed a beat drives fantastically and I get less and less worried. All I ever get is looks and coments on the car. You sit in it and just know it\'s fantastic. I wish some one told me just to man up and get one sooner, yes they might break but so does any car eventually with this much power.
Go for it mate you won\'t regret it.
Just remember if you look after the car it will be fine, don\'t forget that the car isn\'t exactly brand new anymore, so watch out for things like radiators not cooling as well as they used to and fuel injectors etc getting tired. Change the oil regularly (don\'t forget that its a total loss oil system as well - its ment to burn oil) and use good fuel and you will be fine.
Also, the higher the engine revs, the better the engine seals, less carbon is deposited and the more oil the engine gets :)
