| For those RX-7 guys on the board, what should you commonly look for in a 91+ FD3S Rx7 for issues when buying one? I have noticed the RX-7's are starting to come over from Japan and can be had for relatively low prices. :dunno: |

look for a blown or about to blow motor. :thumbup:
Plan to do a rebuild.. or it will be the death of you.
As shawley said... get a compression test done before you buy anything. Also most cars that are going for "relatively low prices" have been in either front or rear end accidents.. or both. |

| I can't wait till' people start swapping in LS1/LS2 motors and selling them. As much as I think rotaries are neat and almost bought an FD myself.. too much hassle in the end for me, at least for an often daily driven car. |

I would never consider driving an rx-7 without a rotary engine. |

Agreed it is kind of the point of getting a RX7. If you did a swaop in the Fd or FC then the car wouldnt be 50/50 any more. I dont think. :dunno: Nothing compares to the sound of a rotary at 8000 rpms, its like an airplane. |

i'm aware they sound nice but the ls swap doesn't ruin the balance of the car. |

The LS1 is lighter than the rotary and all it's turbo hardware. |

I wasnt going to say anything but ppl are still talking about it so:
LS1 RX-7
Front Left 688lbs Front Right 678 lbs
Rear Left 696lbs Rear Right 677 lbs
You can do the math to figure out exact % |

To each their own.
The rotary has its issues, not unlike any other vehicle.
Once those issues are resolved and its properly tuned, I can't see it be anything but a blast.
LSx motors are still sweet. |
