No, I've never owned an RX-7, but I'm thinking about making a project car out of one. It would be nice to have a daily driver that got mileage better than single digits.

I had several RX-2's in the seventies and eighties. My first car was a stock RX-2, and I liked it so much that I bought several more through the years. I put a different intake manifold and carburetor on them, headers and ported some of them. I must have rebuilt four or five Wankle engines and made hotrods out of every one. My favorite RX-2 was really clean, had Koni shocks and repositioned front shock towers. The stock RX-2 understeered pretty badly but if you pulled the shock tower top mounts back about 2", they were perfect. That plus a high-performance engine and clutch made a pretty slick little car.
