[quote=littleknocks;4322146]Very interesting! Are there any weak points on them, I seem to have it in my mind that they have no torque for some reason?



there are no real weak points, as there are only like 30 components to the engine, but after about 65,000 miles the tips will be worn so the engines need a rebuild but this is really the only bad point. other than u have to watch the oil level as they burn oil by design which is why RX7s often smoke on start up, its not cuz theyr knackerd.

and ive heard people say that before that they have no torque, where do people get that from. maybe its because the engine is little. thers like a gentelmens agreement in japan stating all standard cars have to be a maximum of 276bhp and 231ft/ib apparently.
but all the RX7s ive driven feel like high revving four cylinders just really really smooth.
that sequential turbo set up it meant to run the little turbo below 5,000 rpm then the big turbo up to ... whatever u rev it to
