"Good performance, great fun!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Oil metering pump failed.

Failed to start several times due to flooding, common problem in rotary engine's, this can be avoided. They must be at normal operating temp. before you shut them off because the fuel in the ignition chamber will not burn up, thus it is left in the engine, now you have a flood.

General comments?

Not as quick as a Corvette, but hitting the 8100rpm red line before you shift is a pure adrenaline rush!

In a word - IT STICKS TO THE ROAD!

Hey, it's a convertible.

Awesome stock stereo.

Comfortable interior, everything is in the right place.

Ride is very firm. Upgrading the tires improved its long distance drive.

Not much room for luggage on long getaways, but for the weekender it works fine.

Use online sources for replacement parts, they tend to be expensive locally.

A good place to start is rx7club.com/forum

I completely agree. Never buy any parts off of a local shop. You can usually get a better replacement part on line for less than the dealer would give you the stock part.
