Arrow New Guy So Confused... HELP!?

Hello all,

I have been interested in the RX7 for long time and have fallen in love with the FD3 model.

I have decided to take the plunge and get my first one.

I am a complete novice when it comes to Rotary's and RX7's and conciquently do not have a clue where to start.

Rather than going out and buying the first good looking car i find i am looking for some help and advice on what i should be looking for.

Being no novice to engine bay's and cars in general i have a rough idea but have no idea about the faults and things to watch out for when buying an RX7. I have a budget of 5K

Thank you all in advance.

I am not sure where Basingstoke is, however typically for a running FD in reasonable condition you are looking at $10K + in most parts of the USA.

Ones with blown motors are pretty common around the $5k range.

So chances are if you are looking at one for under $10K it will need considerable work, and possibly a new motor.
