I'm about to pull the trigger on a clean RHD RX7 in Canada where I'll probably only drive it 4-5 months of the year realistically.
Please redpill me on this guys.

Can you do the rotary maintenance? If you can go for it my dude. But it's not a cheap car to own.
Sebastian Carter
Do lots of research into the rotary and how to properly care for it before diving into it.
Alexander Ramirez
put 250ml of 2 stoke oil in for every 25l of gas.
change oil when u take it out for the spring and midway thru summer.
expect to sweat, heat pours into cabin
no cup holders
eats gas
get a boost guage. if its in good shape it will hit 10psi then flash to 8 when 2nd turbo kicks in then up to 10 again.
change spark plugs asap and do a compression test while they're in there
prepare to dump money. its one thing to own one, its another to be able to maintain it.
enjoy the sound of boosted rotary @9k rpm. its like a 1000 bee hives under the hood.

The only guy who ever asked to borrow my engine hoist was a guy with an RX7.
Liam Wilson
They are pretty bad without an LS swap
Andrew Brown
seems like everyday some Veeky Forumstist buys a rx7, cool :^

>RHD
you'll be the most special snowflake

would be hilarious to swap a RHD imported fron nipland rx7
Juan Diaz
Oh you are right, more hilarious is the fact you would be making 70% more power while consuming less oil and fuel.
Ain't that just quacking crazy.

What the fuck is up with all the RX-7 posts?
Isaiah Smith
Retribution for all the GM vs Autismo GT-R shitposting. People have fianlly found what makes Weaboos get triggered, and they are exploiting it to the max.
Jack Jenkins
pretty boring though :/
Nathaniel Harris
Then add even more power in the V8, and have a car that could kill you everytime you slightly press the pedal and turn. Make it raggity, make it look straight out of a Madmax movie prop set and drive straight to valhalla, fueled by the American spirit.

Is it bait, when it is true?
Austin Myers
>70% more power
not possible without FI or cam/heads possibly even stroker
>less oil and fuel
lol are you a faggot? its not an every day car who gives a shit
There is more to a car than muh power

Levi King
can you briefly explain to me how adding a 'carburator' will increase power output by 100hp? Are you even old enough to drive?
Adrian Roberts
GM cucks are mad as fuck because I hurt their feefees
nope, fastes rx7's are rotary powered
>more power
still slower
>ARGH! I WILL GET YOU!!
lol sperg more cuckold
it doesn't matter how much power you add to the Literally Shit, fastest rx7s are rotary powered :v)
watch as this post make him sperg
Daniel Ross
Rotaries hate sitting for more than a week or two, you'll want to at least start it and let it warm up all the way every two weeks or so while you're not driving it for the winter.
Ethan Perez
This.
Or just embrace the floods.
Jonathan Parker
That's fucking retarded, holy shit. That much care, for peanuts performance.
Ryder Smith
If you are spending that kind of money i would say fuck the RX 7 and buy a different car! Whats your price range?
Hudson Young
Sitting is hard on anything, rotaries just hate it more.
Levi Richardson

>Pushing it less hard

It takes a special kind of person, that's for sure.
Charles Nelson
>M-Mods!!! S/o/viet is hurting my feelings again!!!
Lol, the asshurt is palpable
Josiah Ward
Oh no, you have to spend 15 minutes every 2 weeks starting it. So high maintenance. Not like you don't already have to do that with piston engines to keep the fuel system from deteriorating and fresh gas in the lines.
Ethan Foster
Yeah, but there's no reward for the effort. It's literally an inferior engine that cost more time and money to maintain, for less performance.
Adam Edwards
but the fastest rx7s are rotary powered
Isaiah Kelly
>Want to buy RX-7
DON'T RETARD, YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT HOW TO MAINTAIN IT, IT'S TOO COMPLEX FOR YOU, JUST BUY A FUCKING CORVETTE!!!
>Complain about Rotatory
NO YOU RETARD, IT'S SUPER EASY TO MAINTAIN, ANYONE COULD DO IT. STOP COMPLAINING.
Spaghetti
Colton Brooks
So? Horse power is not everything
Matthew Howard
thats because you are so stupid you will actually find it too complex to mantain
you said less performance user, yet the fastest rx7s are rotary powered
Adrian Rivera
>implying anyone that wants to put an ls in an rx7 is over 18 or not a filipino/dudebro

Who is going to insure you for RHD?
I couldn't find anyone to insure a 98 sti gc8
Kayden Martin
My STI just blew its stock motor at 200k km so instead of dropping 10 grand into a new engine i figure i'll drop it into an import. I'm looking at Skyline GTRs as well. Price range is probably upwards of 14k CAD
Corporate Auto Insurance plan they'll insure anything.
Yeah that's doable it'll likely be sitting in underground parkade.
Honestly should I just look at something else like an R32 or R34 GTR? Those are on my radar too,and I mean, probably more drivable year round.. Hm..
Brayden Taylor
I feel like LHD ones are even rarer here but I mean yeah I get what you were going for.
Henry Lee
