eh i found a 92 rx7 GTU 174,000 miles... good shape body wise... is the engine still gonna be good or does it need a rebuild? one of my buddys said once it hits lkike 150 175 it needs a rebuild

Rotary only last about 150-170, if the motor is still good in it, then giver man

people who give an actual milage on the engine are the people you woudl want to take there advice with a grain of salt.

If the car has been taken care of, and you have availabel records of work done and such then it coudl verywell last you quite a few more miles. I have seen some pretty dam impressive things with FC's, especialy NA ones. Do a compression test, drive the car and try to put it through its paces. If everythign seems to be in good shape then i woudl probably pick up the car if the price is right.

well a highschool kid has it now, he said hes put about 500 miles on it since he's had it, he bought it off a lil old lady...old people usually baby there cars, so im thinkin its been takin care of for the beginning of its life,untill the kid got ahold of it...ima go drive it today hopefully

na's can last forever when taken care of

"92 rx7 GTU" Everything in this is wrong.

Better find out more about the car. There was no FC made in 92, perhaps sold, but not made. '91 was the last year and it was not called the GTU. It was only called the "Coupe, Convertible or Turbo II" depending on model.

There is a section i bolder out from there. Pay close attention to it.

Now that you have doen that walk slowly away from the car. Highschool kid=rat bagged car. 500miles=500miles of redlining and hard driving when cold.

That and after looking over your post i realise the hole issues with the stuff you posted.
North America never recieved any FC boddied RX7's in 1992. We went from early 1991 (our last FC) to late 1992 (first FD's sold as 93's).

Time to do some serious research on this car or just look at something else cause the majic 8 ball says .... This FC is not to be.

might be a 91 then... i havent seen the car yet my buddy (tubjub) told me about it, i was juss saying what i thought he said..he prolly said 91..i was just thining 92..sorry guys ill post tomorrow bout it, were goin to look at it and hopefully drive it

ok, well i went and looked at it today...god its gorgeous... bright bright red. 174,940 miles... wants $1,000 OBO.. didnt get to talk to the kid he wasnt home, but theres a lil foreign car parts store over by my house,they said 174k yea it needs a rebuild...but thats also what pretty much all of u had said... but. should i go or not?

Well if it's in good shape, 1000 isn't too bad. And if it runs well (but who knows how much longer), then 1000 is a nice price.

bring a compression tester
