Question:
I'm thinking about buying a 1993 RX-7 R1 version that is in good condition, only has 33, 215 miles on it, but some people been telling be that Mazdas give a lot of engine trouble. So, is this true?
Is a 2001 Chevy Cavelier a good car? Please help.?
Do y'all know anyone (or you personally) that has a RX-7? And does it give a lot of engine problems
Answers:
You are looking at what is considered a 3rd generation RX-7. The rotary itself is pretty well bullet proof on all the generation of RX-7 as long as they are well maintained. I have friends that race them and they do a lot less engine rebuild then their piston engine running friends. That said, the 3rd generation is known to be very complex electronically and it develops gremlins that can be hard to find. They are still worth a lot and sell for quite a bit. Most user group and a number of publication would tell you to get a generation 1 or 2 and buy the very best you can find. Contact your local chapter of RX7 owner and ask lots of questions before you buy. Club people are usually very friendly and will help. Various car owner clubs have saved me from mistakes I would still be paying for!! Good luck. P.S. These engines do tend to be thirsty!!
Would you buy 2002 Mazda Millenia with 110,000 for $6,500? I have a link.?
i ve had a 79 rx-7 lasted 4 years. got it for $300never let me down. those engine will last 200,000 miles if you keep it tuned and maintained. just plugs oil and antifreeze. might need a clutch every 3 years as they are small and the engine has high torque. good cars
The rotary engine in the RX7 has a tendency to burn oil because the Apex seals start to fail. The other issue is that most mechanics aren't very familiar with the rotary engine so it is harder to find shops to do repairs.
No, they don't have a lot of problems, but when they start to wear out, they go quickly. They are quite expensive to rebuild at the dealer, but there are many RX enthusiasts and specialists who can do a better job for less money.

The Wankel rotary engine is not understood by many people, so make sure you have a mechanic who knows about your specific engine.
Hi does anyone out there have a diesel vw lt35 workshop manual i can copy or buy?
RX-7's are a blast! Have fun with it!
Where is the fuse box on my plymouth grande caravan located? Its not close to my hood latch.?
Well, I've got an 87 2nd Generation RX-7, and although it's had a few problems, it's never left me stranded on the side of the road. If you work on it yourself like I do, it really isn't that expensive. But if you get someone else to work on it, it will cost because rotary engines require extended knowledge from that of piston engines. Anyways, an FD with only 34K miles on it is something I would jump for. That engine shouldn't give you any trouble until way past 100K. My FC has 220K on the original build and the compression is close to perfect. Anyways, RX-7's are fun... go for it man.1993 chevy cavalier 2.2 litre has eratic idle, fouls #1 plug?
Ok first off they need to be warmed up real goodDont drive them untill they are warm.
The rotor floats in there when it is cold and expands as it gets hot,normal pyshics but alot of people dont know that so be careful when youbuy used. Now they can be hard to start and even the lastest Rx8 are the same way.Ive had a 3 and a 7 Great cars and can run for ever if you take care of them. They do burn up plugs so replace them often and have fun.
2000 Chevy cavalier with a grinding noise?
Yeah with a stock third gen they have problems with turbo and always with the rotary apex seals but still good if taken care of.O.K. Is a Suzuki Jimny a good,cheap vehicle, which would get me down bumpy roads to the beach?
The RX-7's are actually good cars. The problem is finding a mechanic aside from the dealer to work on the rotary engine and engine is really far back to balance the car so it's hard to work on. Your gonna pay if you have engine problems.Pls some body tell me why my car Honda accord 88 model injector they consumed more fuel?
I gave my thumbs a workout in here...Thinking of buying 73 corv stingray any advise?
It will run forever if its treated right. Three moving parts, thats it... a lot less to go wrong.
Do's and dont's..
Rev it. It wants to go, and hard. Make sure its warm (like running a good 15 min) before taking it up there... you dont want to hurt it.
In a Honda accord lx what do the D4 D3 2 1 mean what do you use them for?
Check the oil regularly. This engine was designed to USE it, you need to check it and add more if it needs. I'd go with every second tank of fuel. It takes 1 min to do. Do it.
What does a heads up display do on a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Use premium fuel. The higher the octane, the better.
Try lower if you choose, if it pings, get back up to 91+.
Where can i find the anti theft code for my 1990 maxima?
Warm it. I cannot stress this enough. Driving it cold (or cool) is fine, at low rpm but shutting it off when in this state can be catastrophic. It can flood, and you have now messed your plugs and need to have it cleared out. I have the smoke rule.. start it, have a smoke, then go. Longer if its subzero temps.
Change those plugs. Regularly.
It is a fine machine that will give you hundreds of thousands of miles of service if you treat it right. If you dont, a new engine in the crate will cost you a fortune. You do not want to replace an engine...
Would a dc2 itr front clip fit on my 95' db8 gs-r?
Engine problems are caused by the idiots that think they can treat it like a piston engine... forget about it for 5000 miles.
Not so. This thing will reward you with power, sound and speed if you give it what it needs. They use this engine in fighter planes for a reason... reliability.
