This is the one car I REALLY want to buy.

There seem to be a few 93's for sale.

The last ones sold world-wide seem to be the series 6 ('96 - '98). Where would I look for a '98?

Last but not least, how would I go about finding one of the 1500 "Spirit R" 2002 RX-7 sold only in Japan? I'm sure that costs an assload of money, but I'm sure someone's selling one.

There are plenty of them out there with blown engines. Just check a junkyard.

the FD's are a pretty penny.

and well, as a Rotary engine... not the easiest to work on, and not the best engines in the world.

Upgrade the cooling system immediately after you buy one... that's why the engines blow up so easily, the stock cooling system is just not enough

My friend had one, and when he got his engine rebuilt, they used different oil injectors. So it sounds like the problem was due to lubrication.
