Not using your rx7 much...

[Cally]

Ok, due to the fact I can walk to work and it seems to be constantly raining here in scotland at the moment I am not using my rx7 much. So my question is all the peole who have them as second cars, do you go out and start them up every couple of days or do you just leave them till you have to use it?
  I have just been taking mine for a wee blast 20-30 mins  about once a week but wann make sure I am keeping it sweet.

I walk to work too so dont use the car on daily basis but i do try to drive or go for a quick blast(weather permiting) every otherday and drive every weekend.  Its better to go for a drive rather then leeting it idle and switch off.

Taking it out for 20-30 min, once a week seems ok.:Thumbsup! If you have PFC just make sure that everything is in correct order or working ok i.e water temps, battery volts, boost, vac etc...

I have a battery that only lasts about 3 days, so i tend to use mine about once or twice a week.

Mine sits quite happily in the drive for 2 weeks & sometimes 3 - 4 without starting it and it has always starts on the button & drives perfectly....... It\'s Jap, what more can I say!!!! thing is though 9 times out of 10 when it gets taken out it goes on a 200 mile trip to the Wirrel then back for another 200 mile to get home;)

Mine usually sits around all week till I drive it at the weekend But at the moment it won\'t get driven further than from the drive to the garage at the end of the drive until next year.

I start mine every saturday and take it for a brief drive

then back in the garage

Mine regularily sits for weeks nice and snug in the garage.  I have it hooked up to a trickle charger, so no worries about battery drain.

I always take mine out for a longish drive at least once every weekend .... after a long hard working week nothing better then going for a drive in the Rex

Ok, I have an Fd on the drive thats been stood for the best part of a year (its a mates and is half Converted to single Turbo before he had a cash flow problem)

My question is should i pull the Plugs out and oil it up then Turn it over by hand every so often? or does it not realy matter?

I would hate for it too develope a Sticking Apex/Side seal and end up needing a rebuild??

mine is nicely tucked away for the winter in my mates car showroom. ready for whenever the weather sorts itself out

do you not run it at all over the winter

[shafster]

i do but only on the odd day when it\'s completely dry out. only had it for 8 months anyhow

ditto, although mine will be sitting there until it stops raining and there is no salt

Hi,

A question from a newbi.  There are quite a few of you how dont drive in the winter. Is this because the jap imports are not under sealed as they dont suffer from alot of water problems over there. If so wouldn\'t it be a good idea to get the underneath sprayed with a sealent so you can have all year round fun. Or is this a newbie adding 2 & 2 & getting 5.

Cheers Garith.

i dont use mine as it\'s simply no fun in the wet. spins the wheels too easily and also the fact that i odnt like getting mine dirty with all the salts on the roads
