1988 Mazda RX7 Convertible review from North America
"Greatest sports car for under $7,000"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New clutch and transmission, but I knew that before I purchased it.
Broken water pump (I broke it).
Broken door handle.
General comments?
I love this car. It's begging for a TII motor which will come soon or I'll accept donations for a 20B.
Working on it is pretty simple. My girlfriend likes it (always a plus). There is also plenty of aftermarket support which means I can go as fast as my wallet allows!
Just change your oil every 3k and watch the coolant, and you should be fine.
