"The only car I have ever loved"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Well I haven't had any problems with the car, even though there were so many miles on it.

I replaced the stock clutch at 165000 with a centerforce stage 3.

Now at 208000, I just lost an apex seal on rotor 2.

Blew off a muffler when I was cranking over the motor trying to un-flood it.

General comments?

I love RX7's. Ever since owning this one I have become a real enthusiast. I just wish more people in Charles County Maryland would feel the same. I am about to rebuild my motor with ceramic 2 piece 3mm apex seals, I've heard they're the best way to go.

Anyway, before the problems, the car ran great. Fast as hell and handled like a dream.

Flooding issues: It's your fuel injectors. I've had this problem myself, and it's a very easy problem to fix.

The best way to unflood the rotary beast is to take out all the fuses for the fuel injection. these are located under a little black cover under the bonnet on the right hand side. then turn the engine over 4-5 times for 10 seconds. put the fuses in and it should start as normal. it will be quite smokey for a few minutes though. hope this helps ;) Dan.
