1987 Mazda RX7 n/a review from North America
"I'm in love.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ha ha, what hasn't gone wrong with it. I have had the car over a year now and I keep very good care of it. Just recently I have started to have problems. One day I was driving and I ripped my exhaust right out the end of the header. I replaced the part and all was well, for about a week. My master cylinder on my clutch now leaks into the passenger compartment through the firewall (what a mess), now I need a new carpet. And my engine won't rev-up past 3500rpm at full throttle, can't figure out why, I have ran so many tests on it and just can't get it. I still drive it every-day, slowly.
General comments?
I will not own anything other than rotary.
This is my second Rx-7. My first was a 1991 convertible, I owned it for about a year and loved every second of it.
