Help with buying a 2nd Gen Mazda RX7

Hey guys, im new on this forum, the reason i joined is because i came across this deal on a 2nd generation rx7. Im going to test it out in a couple of days, and what are some things that i should look out for? I think the engine was swapped but im not sure 100% which one it is, im thinking the new rx-7 engine, fd2 i believe?

I mean older turbo charged cars especially with rotary engine can have alot of problems if not taken care of very delicately. Can experienced owners please give me a few pointers on what are the common problems with this car and what should i be extra cautious about when i go test drive it.

Thanks in advance and happy holidays

Run a search for aaroncake, in the members section. Has a whole section dedicated to this on his site.

Good luck entering a world that will consume your soul.

More precisely, several writeups on buying the car can be found in the 2nd gen FAQ. These include my links:
