That must be the reason it is cheap i suppose, its coming up for the engine rebuild.

If you look at V8 EATRs post further up apparently there is an engine rebuild done.

Ian there isnt really a limit on when an engine rebuild can occur, it can be anything from a few thousand miles (if not setup correctly) to over 100k miles.
Just depends also if the car is looked after eg engine warmed up first etc.

Even if there isnt a rebuild done it is a really good price for a car with a decent set of mods and if you allow 2.5k for a possible rebuild it is still heaps cheaper than the crap you get for sale on ebay !!!!

Mate,

The point is it's sold as having had a rebuild but (it appears) with no proof.

And I challenge you to get a rebuild done for

I thought that RX7's must have a rebuild every 60k miles maximum regardless of use?

[mirage]

i thought the same thing but then again i dont know alot about rx 7's

i phoned the guy today just to ask a few question and he told me that the previous owner said it had been rebuilt at 35k but he couldnt confirm if this was true.

Nope, not true. They can fail before or after this mileage.

Hmm, not that great then. But it still is a cheap car, as I said just allow some spare money for a possible rebuild.

Alex, it depends what gets done and where you take it to be rebuilt.

At the end of the day you pay your money and take your chance, engine failures can happen on any of our cars regardless of type eg RX7, Skyline, Supra, Scooby etc etc

i have to say i sold my rx7 4 years ago and i still love it to bits, and still wish ui hadnt sold it , but at 10mpg it gets a bit expensive to use as an everyday car . and arn't the spark plugs the funniest shape things ever

What a lovely looking car!

In my book 60k on an engine, of this type, is loads.......years of fun. If the advert is as straight as the car looks it should be a good gamble for someone.

Some photos of the front and a compression check would help sell it surely?
