        haha. Yah, they're ok cars until the rotary seals go. Mazda reccomends just replacing the entire motor. At any rate, here's an old pic of my RX7 which is very close to completion (damn wiring issues!).

            Dad definitely owns one, it is definitely sick! One of the the few rice rockets that get respect because its damn fast!

            Problem is it gets like 10 miles to the gallon with the rotary engine.

              I think I remember hearing that you have to rebuild the motor around every 70 to 75K miles. Is there any truth to that?

                that depens on how much they over heat... in other words.. yeah!

                the 3rd gens had an average life of 60k miles from what I hear.. that's why you'r lucky if you ever see one.... have you ever seen one?

                    It's possible, but you'd have to be lethargic on the peddle and avoid traffic like the plague. But just to be fair, the OE motor in my RX lasted until 126k. However, given the "performance" and gas mileage of the original mill, I opted to swap a complete drivetrain from a 95 Mustang GT into it.

                        cool I didnt know you had a RX7 too!

                        I really like that blue... but Im happy with the white one... Hell I'm happy I found one in good condition.

                        I also got to ride in a RX8 today.... phew... It made me feel a little bad to go back into my RX7... my rx7 is so rough... the rx8 was so smooth and fast!

                                In 2006 they're releasing another RX7.

                                Its exposed to be the rx8, with only 2 seats, shorter wheel base, and turbo.

                                CAN'T WAIT
