Sweet deal, on saturday im going to see the car im probably buying, anyone got any tips on what i should look for?? ive never bought a rotary before https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png i dont wanna get fucked over, but as of right now im really not looking for much as long as it runs well, has good compression and the tranny is still good.... everything else will be changed anyways so who cares! :bigok:

damn looks like i gotta go out and buy a compression tester

hey norotor



looks like we're in this together!! This saturday i'm going up to check out and probably put the downpayment on my 93 rx7!



That guide on rob robinette's site is by far the best article i found on buying a used rx7/rotary, and after reading it and memorizing it i feel safe going to check out the car.



Get a compression tester, and also a boost/vaccuum gauge just a cheap one for temporary purposes, to check for the 10-8-10 pattern (if you're getting an FD).



let me know how yours goes and ill let you know how mine goes, lol https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png.



hope you see a good car, as i hope i do!

hehe me too.. im gettin an fc though not an fd, its an 87 tII

im only 17 i cant afford no damn FD

im only 18, but i found a cheap FD, lucky me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



either way, we should right a book "the trials and tribulations of awaiting the saturday that we get to wet our pants looking at the hopefully soon-to-be-ours rotaries and then sitting there making sure it works correctly"



long title but we can work on it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



anyway.....

happy hunting

Teknics I wouldn't worry to much about the boost patterns. As long as it is getting good compression and the car looks clean you can feesably fix the rest.

I would pay attention to see if it grinds when going into 3rd and 5th gears to see if the syncros are going bad.





I suppose you could use the boost issue as a bargining chip if there is a problem.

yea, bargaining chips = good in a way



my major bargaining chip is "you jumped a curb and repaired it"
