even if my car was 1k, 1800 for a rx7 guy has issues

next message from him

"It's a single turbo model. I have all of the service history for the past 3 years (since I've owned it), but none before that. The last service I had done on it cost me around £200 which I didn't think was too bad. Had no faults or repairs since I have had it."

i would never touch a rx7 without it having extensive history, they are just to temperamental but when they are running what a car!

I had one when I was 21, it was a great car never had any trouble, I just changed the battery. The bloke I bought it off said, you need to let it idle, and warm up before driving, same before you switch it off. I loved it but it used to drink so much fuel, it was shocking, it was only 80p a litre back then, so sod running one on super today.

I'd go for the RX8. Crap on mpg but newer, so less to go wrong and cheaper to run

EDIT - my heart does say RX7 though

IIRC they were all twin turbo as standard. If its single turbo then i would say its been converted.

they came as twins, or you can make the twins work as one by moving some vacum pipes about, or just convert it to a big single,
