a friend from my dorm just called me and told me he just got one (the night before the day he left for college he crashed his 6gc). |

I was considering a 1994 TT RX7, but the I found out if you slightly mod it be prepare to rebuild the engine every 50-60k miles. And old converts tend to leak alot, I say stay away from it. -------------------- To live, is to suffer

I had an 86.
Wonderful cars especially with a set of thick tires; they preform beautifully. Of course something malfunctioned in mine and the shift buzzer got stuck and would never turn off. Pissed me off so bad I punched the dash and cracked it wide open. I'd trade my celica in a heartbeat for another one if I knew the rotary plant wasn't going to crap out on me for sure. |
