I cant help with what was wrong with it, because I didnt own it at that time and im not great mechanically.

Zoom Zoom Boom was just a joke based on a few things, but not on any problems with my car...

Look at how old the first post is here.  This thread was dead a long time ago.  I bought this car in July time last year (2003), and it had an engine rebuild before that.  All the things stated are from before I even purchased the car.  Basically the old owner sorted all the problems but had enough of it.

How many people on here do we see buying these fresh imports only to have a lot of issues (and rebuilds) just a few weeks later.  Loads.  Thats why I bought a car with all the issues sorted out.

yeah i saw the date but no outcome/results/cause on it. and i wanted more info, searched here, on nopistons and rx7forum but found nothing related so that\'s why i replied here since the (now former) owner could still be around
that\'s why i got a deal with a freshly rebuild engine but nothing but troubles from day one. can you imagine i have enough of it too?

good thinking, seems normal to me...
i think that when you buy a rebuild engine from a "rx-7 specialist\' that you can consider that the engine is fine and will give you many happy km\'s. it wasn\'t the case with my fd...
so after the engine seems bad and a new rebuild under warranty again problems drives me nuts.

oh well, i\'ll see what the check brings.

Yeah I see your points.  My first one had loads of trouble right after I got hold of it.

Part of the advantage of me buying this car was nigh on a years engine warranty or 20,000 miles.  

As I said before though, if you have problems right after a rebuild I think the builder is the best person to speak to.  I cant help with what your problem might be as I dont know much mechanically myself, or of the exact problems with this car just that it needed a rebuild, and that it is now fine.

oh well today i\'ll find out... in 8 hours i\'ll have the compr. tested... just can\'t sleep, wonder why...

so here are the results:

rear rotor:
874/979/837 KPa
front rotor:
929/905/931 KPa

1000 KPA = 145 psi = 10 Bar

so i have a difference of 0.94 Bar
convert: http://www.chromatography.co.uk/Techniqs/Other/Pressure.htm

so with these numbers: i guess no rebuild needed and something else is wrong.

any throughts about these numbers?
