RX 7????????????
Discussion
being brief I have had a lot of cars in my time, currently I have a cosworth powered seven and a bike,I have had 911's tvrs's etc scooby doos. I don't like massive running costs and can do almost anything myself, but interestingly the scooby and the 911 &^&^**&*& me off for different reasons. Now the 911 I did a lot of work to but cost a fortune for the parts so even doing it myself clutch 500 flywheel 300 exhaust 1000 100 for a bit of pipe you very soon get hoofed off with being ripped off. the scooby was only a short lived affair but going to change the spark plugs and you soon get the idea/ see what I mean. Now I respect my cars never thrash when cold ,keep the oil right etc change it regularly, but will an rx7 be a brave choice as a daily driver. or do I revert to a tvr which when I sold had 70k onit having bought at 50k with no problems I was commuting reping playing with other tivs as you do, it just handled it all Plus v8 parts are cheap not that i bought any.
I love the look of the rx7 and the idea of huge horses and low weight but if I buy one at 40 k-60k miles what can i expect to spend running it/

out of interest what made you get rid of it?Thats usually the best review a person can give. despite what I said about the porky pig its the car I miss the most, it was the only sportscar that can really transform itself into a commuter blat mobile and take the family out, i just got fed up with the price of everything. Ref the scooby plugs they are right up against the bulk so I think you may have raise or lower the motor .(didn't investigate to much as I sold it) More PIA than anything else.
mine is a normally aspirated cosworth, but really set up for road use.
The thing with the cosworth motor and I digress is its very similar in character to a 90's gsxr bike, powerful and lusty, almost unburstable but always sounds like something could go bang at high rpm , mind you I thought an s2000 at full chat sounded like the inside of roadrollers gearbox.
So the stories are potentially worse than the reality with the rx7 ...I can live with that
