rotary + turbo = bad. I was considering a 1994 TT RX7, but the I found out if you slightly mod it be prepare to rebuild the engine every 50-60k miles. And old converts tend to leak alot, I say stay away from it.

To live, is to sufferTo survive, thats to find meaning, in the suffering....
1991 vert rx-7 wont be turbo i dont think... my bro had one and yes they sometimes have problems, but are very easy to work on... rotary power owns too
my neighbor has one.. and I see him out there almost every week working on it. eh.

lol, yea my neighbors think im sick in the head b/c i work on my car so much. just wait until i get the motor.
I had an 86.

Wonderful cars especially with a set of thick tires; they preform beautifully.

Of course something malfunctioned in mine and the shift buzzer got stuck and would never turn off. Pissed me off so bad I punched the dash and cracked it wide open.

I'd trade my celica in a heartbeat for another one if I knew the rotary plant wasn't going to crap out on me for sure.
