Finally found an amazing deal that i couldnt pass up. 1986 FC RX-7 - 66k on the motor. Only needs a fuel pump and it will be running. Paid 650 for it. ![http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Fatti03MSP/RX7/IMG_1097.jpg](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Fatti03MSP/RX7/IMG_1097.jpg) ![http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Fatti03MSP/RX7/IMG_1098.jpg](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Fatti03MSP/RX7/IMG_1098.jpg) ![http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Fatti03MSP/RX7/IMG_1099.jpg](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Fatti03MSP/RX7/IMG_1099.jpg) ![http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Fatti03MSP/RX7/IMG_1100.jpg](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Fatti03MSP/RX7/IMG_1100.jpg) ![http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Fatti03MSP/RX7/IMG_1101.jpg](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Fatti03MSP/RX7/IMG_1101.jpg) ![http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Fatti03MSP/RX7/IMG_1102.jpg](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Fatti03MSP/RX7/IMG_1102.jpg) ---

Rotaries are like tampons. Too small for use ,Only use once. throw out then get bigger absorbent. But do you really trust something that bleeds for 10 days does not die? just a lot of headaches… ---

not once is it mentioned that it is stupid and slow? once you rebuild the motor a couple times then you will wish you did the v8. i have a customer/buddy of mine that has 5.0 swap. he lives in imperial and has been daily driving it for last couple months. the swap is definitely worth it if you want to drive it regularly ---

Not sure if its the same guy im new with the whole rotary motor but i know for fact that the motors will last if you take care of them. So no i wont be rebuilding them. Ever wonder why the rotary motor was banned from the Le mans 24 hour race… cause it lasts and after a race they tore down the motor and it was like new. > [@Drug users click here](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/drug-users-click-here/40396/77): > > well you’re welcome…and since you already know everything I guess you dont need any suggestions. that comment was directed towards and i never said that i knew everything, just that i wasnt doing a v8 swap. but please give me some suggestions.

been there done that, I agree the rotarys are fun and such, But you will get tired or working on it trust me. So you can go 3 ways. 1 work on rotay and pull egi fuse every time you wanna start it. 2. go carbed v8 like i first did. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/302enginesideview.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/302enginesideview.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/0821080019.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/0821080019.jpg) Or 3. Go v8 efi so so so much better. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/0327091716a.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/0327091716a.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/0327091714a.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/0327091714a.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/0306091821-2.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/mudbonestinkynutz/0306091821-2.jpg) plus the 5.0 is super easy to work on in comparision and also you can get parts at any parts store. Oh and if you need any interior peices I got a whole maroon one just like yours for sale cheap. ---
