Ah,I used to own two RX7s and two Celicas before I got my Mystique. I had a gold '88 RX7 base model,non turbo with a K&N intake,Racing Beat header,Racing Beat lightweight flywheel,2.5" single exhaust,Magnaflow muffler,CP Racing 4 point roll cage,TurboII seats,factory Aluminum hood (21 lbs compared to the steel 52 lbs hoods),15" gunmetal ROH rims and lightened interior. That thing was a rocket! From '03 until last month,I worked at a rotary specialist shop in the Toronto area,so I know a thing or two about them. After I sold the RX7 to a co-worker,I bought a black '87 RX7 TurboII as a fixer-upper. It was driveable and everything when I purchased it,but I blew the motor on the drive home,and couldn't afford the $2k for a new engine,and then the bodywork and interior work it needed,so I sold it for what I paid for it 2 weeks later. I love rotary engines. They're incredibly smooth,rev so fast and high and basically just have an unfair advantage over any piston engine.
I ended up with a Mystique after the cheapo '87 Celica GTS I bought as a beater died on me,and I'm quite happy with the Mystique. This site is really helpful and informative,and I'm glad I joined.
