1986 Mazda RX7 Base review from North America
"Beautiful car, but you have to know how to work on a car to own one --> LOTS of maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First off, the radiator cracked.
Secondly, the brakes hadn't been checked, the brake pads were completely worn down, and started grinding against the front right brake rotor.
Other than that, it's running perfectly.
