RedM Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Jurgen, What are RX7s like as a daily driver? I hear about massive oil consumption and engine rebuilds. Is it really that bad? I quite fancy one (as I can't afford a Viper) but it'd have to be a daily driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite fancy one (as I can't afford a Viper) but it'd have to be a daily driver. for daily driver you will need a fairly stock one ie bpu in rx world around 350bhp the oil cosumption is only noticible more in the big singles cars. the key is to find a good one rebuild or not, i have just sold a black one from jp to local guy was rebuild in jp fairly stock apart from clutch and he is using that as his daily car.
