TBH mate when you take away all the extra bits your doing the rebuiuld isnt that bad... I would of thought it be loads more than 2.5K

Thats the only thing thats puts me off an RX7 is all the extras you would want

A stock rebuild is 2.5K so its miles cheaper than a supra , evo or scoob, the price has gone up like you say with the extras.

i dont need any of them , but im hungry for power

Yeah i know what you mean once you pop you cant stop

Thinking of something Jap but am often put off by stories of expensive rebuilds etc etc. In all fairness I spent over 1K on my XE rebuild (mates rates too) and may mates spent in excess of 10K on his LET rebuild so far and shows it not so bad after all
