Like, if maintained like a normal piston motor car will they stay running fine?

 

yeah for about 35k miles...

 

Dont even want to deal with it.

 

All I've heard is that they need quite a bit more maintainance than regular engines... and when something goes wrong, it'll cost a pretty penny.

 

I'm looking at rx7club.com and about half of the cars for sale over there have had engine replacements at some point. It's not looking good

 

fugitaboutit....

 

from what i've been told, the cooling system is the achille's heel of the rx-7's.

if you go look at an rx7, bring someone knowledged with them specifically with you.

 

not as easy to maintain as an R. btw how far are you from elizabeth city?

 

Heh, you said tit.

 

They'll be fairly reliable as long as you keep the maintenance on time, make sure you keep it filled with oil, make some reliability-related mods, and don't make many high-power mods or beat the piss out of it.

But it won't last forever, you'll have to replace it at some point.

This is on the 3rd gens, at least. If you want a truly reliable rotary, get one that's isn't turbo'd.
