£4000 and less miles, shame about the wheels though (Although inevitable given the state of most standard wheels on these cars).

I'd seriously consider one of these, its just a shame they are so underpowered for what they are.

The engine is a 1.3cc. 13B. Basically It's just complete nonsense when people say "the engine is a 2.6". The uk is the only country in the world that classes the rotary 13B as a 2.6. Just means more money for the uk tax man. My log book says 1.3cc. The engine blocks has 13B stamped on it.

As I said before if you compare actual output shaft rotation it's like a 2.6 http://www.rx7.com/techarticles_displacement.html

I know a fair bit about them. I rebuilt my own engine if that counts. I'm not going to go into too much detail about it all because this particular topic has been done to death on various rotary forums. It's split 50/50 in what people agree with. Even the DVLA can't make their mind up. Some Rx-7 are classed as 1.3, more recent imports are classed as 2.6 I'm just going with what mazda say, and that's 2 x 654cc = 1308cc.

It sure is fair to say it shifts and drinks like a 2.6 twinturbo though :)

because of the two power strokes per cycle, it is effectively doing "2.6 litres" of swept combustion so it will drink pretty well :D

i have 2.7 litres of v6 piston twin turbo fuel consumption. mine doesnt do too bad suprisingly
