lol, I have had something like 9 or 10 RX7’s back in my hayday, oh how right you are, they always need something. Although the NA versions of the FC could be pretty reliable if left stock, I daily drove one for some time at one point. The turbo models on the other hand were not so reliable. I can understand the V8 swap guys, just could never bring myself to do it.

I had a MINT 91 FC black on black that I was wanting to V8 swap but ran out of money before I could make it happen. One of the few cars I regret selling, it was just so mint it was silly.

My last FD was such a nightmare it is partly responsible for me moving away from modding cars. I almost lost a lot of money on that car when an apex seal let go after just having repainted the car and having it almost ready.

RX7’s are an attention grabber for sure and an amazing chassis when they are running. A money pit the rest of the time lol.

I also had a 300zx, Although the most attention I ever got was from my MR2. That car was a magnet for comments from people that either did not have a clue what it was or people that used to have one and loved it. So many comments of “is that a Ferrari?” as well lol.

I still want to get that car running someday, it is the only one I hung on to.
