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.
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.
Do you even know about rotary motors. It's not everyday driving at all. You race it and turn off the engine after wards. Never let it be on too long. It's not a coolant problem as much people who owns one think. This car is only good to get chicks, race, and look tight.
As for the coolant problems you might want to consider removing the pre-cat. This is the source of most of the rx7's cooling problems.

Ignore this person's comments. If him or her is actually an owner of a rotory engined car, or has done research on them, particularly FD RX7's, they'll know that they require proper warm up and cool down periods of a few minutes prior to and after agressive driving.
The aforementioned overheating is a much more serious problem that a simple flush of the cooling system won't solve.
Thankfully, any RX-7's that suffer a "race and turn off" fate will soon be put out of their misery when the engine is shot. Using your poor abused RX-7 to get chicks when its broken down on the side of the road after a "race" won't be easy either.
