Tploh Clutched June 4, 2005 Share June 4, 2005 (edited) Car more than 20 years, I usually siam. I think the form is better than the function by this age. ( I personally like the RX7 very much ) Just checked the Sgcarmart website. It says it is only 1100 cc. So, road tax should still be o.k. I am not too sure if outside workshop know how to fix rotary engine, if they got problem. Even if you go back to MM, they may not have the parts and you may need to wait some time for the shipment.

Vooth 2nd Gear June 4, 2005 Share June 4, 2005 If you have the time and patience and moola to restore it to its former grandeur, go for it. Fuel consumption is equivalent to a 1.6l plus 20+ yr car sure a lot of wear and tear, no go in my opinion... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a proper inspection of the car (pay for it). If the engine is good, and theres no rust then go for it. Since (as I've recently found out) the Renesis engine is based on the 13B, and quite a few of the minor engine prob parts are the same, shouldnt be too hard to maintain.

Elfenstar 3rd Gear June 6, 2005 Share June 6, 2005 Oh the 12a isn't half bad. If you could afford it, I say keep it as the 12a rx7's are becoming collectors items. If not the 13b (if not already in there) is fairly cheap and the swap (if our damn govt allows it) is pretty simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfenstar 3rd Gear June 6, 2005 Share June 6, 2005 Wait a minute... ist the 12a only on the jap rx7's or did we get it too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vteckim Neutral Newbie June 7, 2005 Share June 7, 2005 Hey you, what colour is the car? Just curious. Maybe I've seen it before. I was looking for RX7 too but i prefer the FD over any other generation. In my opinion, if you have another car to drive around everyday, then buy it as your second car. If not, its not really reccommendable. However, if your passion for the car is so great, just go for it man. You only live once. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
