My black RX-7 pics
Discussion
Thanks all! There's about 3.5 hours of elbow grease invested there (though it's filthy dirty already, I hate winter!)
RX-7 residuals have been in a bit of a freefall of late, possibly because there are too many on the market at the moment. But for whatever reason you can now pick up a decent early running example for £5k which is a lot of performance for peanuts. People still baulk at the petrol/insurance costs so that does at least keep it a rare sight and out of the hands of chavs.
I must say though, in the 10 months I've had it, I've only had to pay out £230 for a service and a few quid for some cheap mineral oil so in that respect it's actually been cheaper than my old Escort to run!

As for oil, only the latest reneis rotary is allowed to have normal synthetic, but most dont. Mazda actualy did spend ages developing a good synthetic for the 787b and sold it to tue public as rotary 1 oil for a while but I believe it dissapeared in the mid 90's
That's interesting. What is it about synth that the rotary doesn't like?
I vaguely remember reading something on the mazdarotaryclub's forums that fully synth dries out gaskets or somesuch...
