Just checking if anyone in here have some knowledge about the second generation RX-7s.. I'm thinking of buying one as a second car.

The only thing I know is that it's a 87-mod RX-7 with a 1.3 litre Wankel (rotary)engine. Getting a bit confused over the naming though. We have the FC, FD, FD3S and probably alot more.. What is what? I know they come from about 150 hp, and all the way up to 210+ hp.

Google will only give me japanese pages and people who sell stuff. I know I used to have some information pages about the old Mazdas, but can't find them anymore.

your fine as long as you have the celica as a daily driver. the t2 will be a good learning experience and a very nice car. although dont expect it to run well all the time. more down time then driveability is common and stupid problems happen all the time.

just remember no matter how much money you spend fixing the damn thing, you will always love the rx7 and never want to sell it.

I guess that goes for both cars.. (the love part). The Celica will probably always have a place in my heart and it's use in everyday life. But the combination lots of hp + new car = expensive here in Norway. That RX-7 would have costed me almost 30 000$ US only in taxes if it wasn't for the age (14 years old). That's why I'm going for an old car when choosing my "play" car. It probably won't be reliable (Toyota reliable atleast) but to drive 2-3k miles every year it should hold up pretty good. I'm just waiting for the seller to respond now and I'm sure I should have an answer in the next week or so.
