Hey. My name is Don Johnson. I live in Orlando, and am currently looking for a decent fc for about $2000. Getting out of the dsm world, and loving what I hear about the rotary.

An 88 rx that I am currently looking at was rebuilt by the Ron Brothers in Holly hill. Has anyone heard of them? I know you have to have someone who knows what they are doing, and was just wondering how reputable these guys are.

I am not sure, but here is the link to the car. The seller says that they are experts, but I wanted outside opinion.

Oh, I forgot.

When I am test driving an rx7, what should I listen for? Is the process generally the same as any other car, or are there any special things I need to be looking for?

That looks like a pretty decent buy, he might come down a little. As far as test driving about the only thing I would recommend doing differently than a normal piston engine is a compression test.
