Max9650 Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 So basically when i had my clutch done at the garage, got talking to the owner who said he bought a RX7 FC 280BHPSo seen it about here and there and had a little race with it, wow!told him how much i loved it and he said i could have it for 2k, apparently he never keeps his cars long and with his traders policyit had a rebuild with end casings just before he bought it, by Garage-D in london who he is very good friends with the ownersounds sweet as a nut im just worried ive heard a few things about the rx7's regarding very low MPG and unreliable?I dont do the most ammount of miles as im local to work but i would like to see 20mpg on the motorway at 60-70... maybe its asking for too much?

Stefan_s Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 i love these but would have to be a white one for me lol Quote
scottyb Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Hmm i think you'd be lucky with 20mpg, ive heard alot about awful fuel consumption on them as in less than 15mpg. Although im not sure if there is differences in the fd and fc engines etc. Quote
daniel_g Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Old skool cool, you should buy it man. Is it really 280 bhp though ? I'd ask for a dyno printout.Ian on here gets 7-8 mpg in his FD RX7, but thats 300 odd bhp. Quote

Dan507 Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 These are about 8mpg for around town. There are awesome though. It would have to be a fun car to use at the weekend though. Quote
