3rd gen RX-7
Hi
I'm the original owner of a '93 RX-7, bought new in Aug '92. I have 117K miles on it with an engine rebuild at 78K miles. The stock 13B-REW puts 225 at the rear wheels (255 at the flywheel). I do 337 rwhp (about 380 at the flywheel) with many mods. At the outset, due to teething problems, I would agree that the '95 would be the most reliable of the 3rd gen RX-7. However, enough years have passed that anything that might have been wrong has gone wrong, and has been repaired. I'd think that any 3rd gen RX-7 with more than 50K miles is as reliable as any other, '93, '94 0r '95. A couple of excellent sites to check out for good info: http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/ http://www.rx7turboturbo.com/robrobinette/ Any questions, please feel free to email me.

All of the FD RX-7's have the same motor and everything, so one is not more reliable than another. The few differences in the year models include, passenger airbag for 94-95, more durable interior pieces for 94-95, and reinforced wheels for some 94 and all 95. I have a 1993 as my sig. suggests and the onlything i like on the newer models over mine is the interior pieces.

Well I may be new to this forum but not to FD's or other rx7 forums. I have had my FD for over 2 years and have 650+ posts at www.rx7club.com in the past year. It sucks how coming to new forums means your a noob, haha. but i guess everyone has to do it. Thanks for the anti-rice comment by the way...

So far thats the plan, rebuilding motor, sell car, order R32 GTR from Motorex.
I got the motor completely torn down yesterday and started cleaning stuff yesterday. So far I have cleaned both rotors and the front rotor housing. Tommorow I will finish the main part of the cleaning (Rear rotor housing and side housings), then friday bring all the parts to a good parts washer I have access to, to get any extra stuff out of the crevices. Then Sunday I will sit down and rebuild it nice and slowly and go from there. My progress is being recorded here.... http://m-psphotos.fotopic.net/c165716.html Any comments are welcome...
