Massive dilemma

[andysmee]

I\'d go for the rebuilt RZ. They probably will have replaced a few other little things like hoses and the like and it is a well respected tuner
 
..and it\'s the RZ!!!

if its the black one with the chopped vielside front end isnt that just a new engine 4k ago?

RZ with a rebuild & warranty would be my choice even though mileage on clock higher,mines a 93 RZ but only 45000 on the clock no rebuild but last february compression test was 8.4 fronts and 8.3 rears, i believe 300 type RZ\'s were made

It\'s a black manual RZ. I\'ve checked the sticker on the drivers door sill. The seller just wants to get rid and doesn\'t know much about rx\'s. I haven\'t mentioned prices because I don\'t want any sellers on here to cry! The R2 has japanese rubber and there is no alarm or stereo, so thats £1000 extra. Right, the RZ it is, but 7000 miles, the interior is soo new!!:eek:

If it has the carbon seats, the foot rest, the BBS alloys.
RZs are all manual
should have Bilstein shocks

There were a limited number of RZs built in each year they were produced whereas the R2 wasn\'t a limited edition

Deposit made on the RZ.

Difficult choice but the recent rebuild and new clutch swayed it. Collect her on saturday. First thing is replace the oil drum exhaust with something quieter and get her an Apexi pfc and remap.

M4DRX, if you\'re interested the R2 was on ebay (the buyer pulled out due to no V5, but the car has a trade V5 and seller is getting one). It\'s the silver one with white alloys, search in completed items.

Thanks for all your help guys, I\'m sure I will be back soon.:WaveBye

Good choice,enjoy her but watch the roads on RWD in these weather conditions - a few have been bitten with 2nd turbo kicking in & back end biting their ass.
power fc/remap excellent start to emptying your wallet,wise move.I found the bilsteins too hard a drive & changed to tein superstreets - bit of a softy realy

Is that because of the mileage or you don\'t like the RZ?

The car is in Colchester miles from a specialist so a compression test is a real hassle. It started first time from cold and hot and has no major mods - tempted to take a chance:2Rolleyes

A local Mazda dealership should have the equipment to do the comp test - same gear as for the RX-8...

:Laugh  spent some time searching for my car on here

R2, then swop with my 96 RS

Picked up the RZ this morning, been smiling ever since:D

Bit wet today so was very careful, but she certainly has some poke!

The only downside so far is after months of reading on this forum I seem to have developed a bad case of rx paranoia!! Is that noise normal, what\'s that sound, please start, is the oil pressure normal etc etc.!! I\'m going to have her fully checked out by a specialist to put my mind at rest and then get used to her little quirks! Anyone else suffer from this??

oh hell yes! i have now begun to call it life

[Cally]

I think everyone is like that due to the stigma surrounding the rx7 from people who know nothing about them let alone own one.

[m4drx]

i very much agree but im sure everyone can agree that the when they are right they really are right but when wrong can be very long winded and agrivating.
