Engine started to wear out around 300,000k, replaced.
Transmission re-worked.
Flooded once, not hard to fix.
Needs a bit of a tune up.
Interior a bit worn, not a real issue, good for its age and considering it used to spend almost every day of its life out in the sun (Australian sun...)
Paint is old and not so shiny!!
Damn fine car! Handles like nothing else and goes like a bullet; friends won't even try to race me.
Eats piston engines for breakfast!
Very reliable. Just treat it right, right from the start. Let it warm up completely before you drive it anything above a stroll, use genuine non synthetic oils and change it every 3000ks and don't you dare even slightly let it overheat or you will pay big time. Do that and you will stay happy.
Awesome styling makes this a 100% chick magnet! Girls can't keep away from this machine!
Factory standard sound system is still excellent, I don't need to spend money there.
Interior is a bit cramped according to some, but for my build (I'm like 5'6" or something) it is perfect.
Couldn't ask for anything more in a car, once you drive it you love it. It really delivers the goods as far as sports car material goes.
If you do look for one, get a turbo model and start gathering up your courage before you touch the pedal...
Nice comprehensive review - thorough
405,000 kms sounds like a decent life.
Not sure where the car is from ie Australia or New Zealand
Wouldn't mind being able to comment to the owner himself if
he provided an email address.
Exactly how I feel :) Awesome review! They are top cars, just a little thirsty I find mine, but I just can't get rid of it :) Love it too much!
I'm only 15 years old, and bought my RX-7 when I was 13 for $200. It only had some minor wiring issues and now she purrs like a kitten.
At any rate, awesome review man. I haven't driven mine much, but the one time I did drive it, it scared the crap out of me.
Great review, keep up the good work :)
