having doubts

i love my car and all, but recently my friend said he is going to sell his rx7 for 3,000 but i wouldnt consider it a daily driver, its a very bouncy ride no power steering and no a\c. my car is in realyl good shape in and out runs great also. the only thing is that rx7 is faaaast i just dont have enough $$ to have both cars. what would you do.

What year and how many miles are on the RX7. One of my friends has a 95 RX7 with 14,000 miles (yes 14000) and he runs 12.7 all day. Thats without a fuel upgrade or a FMIC. So they are fast as ****.

c'mon now you can't be serious....you can't go with the rx7, you just can't....yeah its fast as **** and all, but thats not all a car is for...the fact that the AC is out, and the car has a rough ride and all, plus the cars age and miles are going to pile on more and more dough and i think you should save yourself the money and pain and just not get the rx7, it would be the irresponsiable thing to do

spelling

besides the fact i'm looking for another S13 to drop my RB in, i'm also lookin for an FC. even if the seals are blown i'd still buy it. the RX was produced in japan up untill like this year. pleanty of parts available for it. it's still RWD(isn't that the point?). just don't rid your self of the nissan and you won't get beat up

any MKlll's out there?

Do you have another car thats a daily driver? or is your nissan a daily driver. What would you drive around if you bought the rx-7?

Actually it just depends on how it was treated and how you treat the car. You're suppose to let RX-7's warm up before you drive them. 2 of my friends have them and that's what they told me. By not letting them warm up, that's what's going to give you problems. There are some technical stuff that they said for the reason, but I forgot so.....sorry. Do some research and stop being lazy like me.

all cars a supposed to be warmed up before you drive them

the problem w/ the rotaries is that the apex seal blows relativly easily when compared to the piston rings. rotaries are much more efficent than any piston engine. if mazda could figure out how to strenghten the apex seal, they would dominate everything.
