one more question...
...for some odd reason my car is eating so much gas, is that usual for RX7.
when I bought it, it was from the police impound and the engine looks and sounds like it was rebuilted. Now my odometer says 100K miles. but those are probably just numbers...
I took it to number of mechanics in my area, but none of them know anything about rotaries....
thanx.

how much is a lot of gas? i got about 25mpg on mine.
Re: ...
That's about right. For a car that almost performs like it has a V8 under the hood, that's the kind of mileage you can usually expect. Unless your RX7 is turbo, you can run the cheapest 87 octane gas in it with no problems.

...no I'm not, I'm still learning about my car. I just think you guys have more experience with these cars than me.
that's why I asked this question, hopping to find similarities that other rx7's have with mine.

It came in later years as an option, and generally was only equipped on the Turbo II models. My '88 RX-7 has the Mazdaspeed LSD, so I'm not sure if it came with one, stock, on a Turbo II, but mine sure as heck has it. =)

Just answered myself with a little research... Hehee. The baseline, SE and 'Sport' models of any year don't come with LSD, the Turbo II, GTU and GSL do from '87 and up. I'm not sure if it was an option on the other models at any point, but I'm sure a lot changed as far as with the 10th Anniversary Edition and later.
