rob275 1817 Report post Posted December 19, 2016 Sorry @dom2497 not wanting to scare you I'm sure you know the true history of the car and as nothing was said on here about it everybody just speculated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed I know all the history and not just with my car. I really want to avoid people's conjecture which I have seen many times on car forums, I expect you can imagine what it's like when I used to own a RX7!

Indeed I know all the history and not just with my car. I really want to avoid people's conjecture which I have seen many times on car forums, I expect you can imagine what it's like when I used to own a RX7! At least it wasn't an RX8. They seem to go through engines like other cars do headlamp bulbs :-). Still love the rotaries though... Whatever the history of your car (and frankly engines going pop in 86s doesn't seem particularly linked to extreme tuning based on other threads) I will make the observation that your car looks lovely. Great wheels, great stance and love the stripes. Hope you enjoy it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully this stroker kit will prove the rest of us wrong mate. To put it into perspective, both my FA20 engine with the stroker kit and my Mrs' RX7 went bang last year and are in the process of some major engine overhaul. Looks like the house purchase is on hold until 2017...maybe 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who maps your Mrs's Rx7 btw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
