1993 Mazda RX7 review from North America
"This car is faster than it looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I needed to replace the intake manifold, primary and secondary fuel injectors, and needed new vacuum hoses. The engine will overheat occasionally, and shut off. I believe this is due to a coolant problem that I haven't been able to check out yet. Although, I'm sure once I get it fixed, the car will run smoothly again.
General comments?
When it's healthy, the car is amazing to drive. Brutally fast, accelerates quickly and smoothly from a stand still, and at highway speeds.
Handling is also a strong point. It moves in the direction you point it to instantaneously.
It is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. It's styling is timeless, and will always be a head turner.
