There are several local people here with RX7’s, and we have meets at Taffy’s every Sunday. All of the local RX7 owners will tell you to never take your car to northtown mazda or any dealership for that matter - those tech’s won’t know your car as well as they should. If you’re having peoblems or need something done, talk to members Xander or Adictd2b00st. Welcome to the site :tup: ---

Welcome to the board… If you’re not mechanically inclined, I’d suggest picking up a repair manual for your car, and meet someone with experience with your specific vehicle, and do as much by yourself as you can. I’ve saved myself at least $1000 doing stuff myself instead of going to the dealer. Good luck with the car. ---

Yeah, don’t take your car to the dealer, they don’t know squat about the rotary. They will probably tell you that you need a new headgasket or something stupid. At 21K that car sounds really cherry! Perfect to tear into with a fresh bunch of mods. 😃 Anyway, what’s the reason you want to take your car in? If it’s to check it out, forget it, let me take a look at it. Other than that, make sure you change the oil (not with synthetic) regularly. That is the most important thing, and don’t do any modifications without reading up about them first! Cooling is also important, check your engine bay for any worn belts or hoses, or hardened vacuum lines, they can be a nightmare. X… ---
