congratulations on your upcoming purchase. I'm actually nursing a "hangover" right now. Perhaps later today i'll feel better and jot some info here for you. Visit www.rx7club.com There is a wealth of information there useful for buyers. Where are you located? If you're free we can meet up and have coffee (no alcohol for me ever again;) )

Hi reartyre,

Perhaps you can send to Ah Choi to test out the compression.

Another thing to keep a look out is the feul pressure!!!! Bad feul pressure means kabooom.... yea glen?

See my answers within your posting below

hi 13btt

can please tell me again how to look at the compression test ... lupa lah ..

4-5 = below average to foobah
6-7= good to very good

what else should look out for

1. boost (check that can feel full boost to redline)
2. idling (should be smooth & even)
3. transmission (smooth gear change, no crunching)
4. etc
