buying a 1993 rx-7 but need some help!

i was looking into buying a 1993 rx-7 and i needed help. since the rx-7 is a rotary engine, i was wondering what the difference is in turbocharging it, and if there was any difference in maintenace on it, such as changing oil. a friend of mine had told me that when you change the oil on a rotary engine ur supposed to change the spark plugs to. i also heard rumor that keeping a rotary engine, especially from an rx-7 is hard to maintain and that they don't have a long life line. any help or information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Re: buying a 1993 rx-7 but need some help!

twinturbo rotary engines do have reliability issues, yes. but its not that bad.
the catch when moding a 3rd gen is that you gotta buy a Engine management system or any kind of engine management if you want to go further than intake catback downpipe mods.

check out this post, i dont feel like explaining over and over again.

i suggest you to read a lot, and when you''ll think you've read enough about that car, read as much more. be sure its the car you want and that you're ready to put your hand in your pocket if shit happens (shit always happens with a rotary, lol)
