RE: 2nd Rx-7? Maybe...
do you know how much work it is to keep up a rotary???? it's like owning a DSM only instead of fixing broken **** all the time it's maintaining it all the time or the thingWILL break. i personally don't like any of the RX7's ecept for the last generation (sorry to say it - Dom's car from FNF) and i prolly still wouldn't own one just b/c they are such a bia to maintain.

I've actually got my heart on an RX8.
A friend of mine got one brand new when we graduated.
He went on to college in New York.
I saw him about 3 weeks ago and his car had 128,000 miles and he said he has'nt had a lick of trouble yet.

they changed alot to make them a little more reliable but the maintain iti s still a PITA.... the RX8s you are supposed to rev the car to 3k as your shuting the motor off to help prolong the life.

Damn, no one likes it! LOL! Well, supposebly it was bored out, has all the simple stuff (like intake, exhaust, etc etc), gauges, and I know for a fact it has been "BABIED."
So i guess, no one wants me to swing this way... LOL!
He is asking $5500 and it comes with a turbo kit, the only thing missing is the manifold and wastegate, and then its ready to be turboed.
So, did any of this change anyone's mind?
