I'm scared...

Since my last car turned out to be not what it was supposed to be, i now am in the market for a used car. I definitely like FR's balance and handling capabilities.

Now i have been looking at an 86 FC Rx 7. I think its the base model or mayebe the gxl, i dont know.

but i have heard probles about rotariys, how they eat some oil, have bad gas mileage and break easier compared to regular piston engines.

I need a reason to pick a fc over lets say, a nissan 240 (which was my last car).

an FC over a 240?

FC: Rare/Unique factor
240: A dime a dozen now-a-days

FC: More power
240: A truck engine

FC: Not much work to go fast
240: Engine swap to go fast

FC: Better weight distribution
240: Good, but not 50-50

Also, once you start learnin about rotaries more, you'll find that with simple regular maintanence they'll last a pretty decent time. Even then though, rebuilds aren't that bad compared to piston engines, since you don't have a bizilion little parts. Plus, personaly, I think RX suspension is much better than the 240s, and the 240s always kinda looked like the old accords... kindof a turnof in my opinion. some argue that the rx looks like the supra of the same era, but at least it doesn't look like an accord.

And about the oil compsuption. Is because it send a litlle amount of oil inside the combustion chamber , to keep the apex seals lubricated. Don't freak about it do!!

RX have more Potencial!! :p

Oil consumption is no big deal. What's $5 in oil every 1000 miles or so?

I told You!!:):lol2:
