I can relate the $$$ pit thing from owning my Eclipse. I bought it in '95 for $13k and had about that in mods and fix-its over the years and I took it from a practical all season good car to a tempermental Viper beating street sleeper. Great stock motor (I only was pushing about 320hp which is about 100 less than the stock bottom end would hold) but the trannys were an issue plus with bi-annual clutch changes,101 octane fuel,race fees and 16mpg around town it just was too much and sold it to a friend last year.
So far my Runner has been much easier on my Visa.

I get tired of it sometimes and wonder why I still have it. Then I drive it and
I forget how REALLY fast it is. It's nice on the freeway if someone gets on your ass and you just drop a gear and Goodnight!!

I miss the AWD launches hitting 1.7 60' times on all season radials at the strip and were even better on the street watching pretty much anything else scramble for traction. In a couple years I'm either gonna go back to an AWD/turbo combo with either an EVO or an STi and IF I can find one reasonable priced (yeah right) I really want a TT Supra which easily can lay down 700+whp on the stock 3 liter.

Awesome cars though. I've wrenched on a few. I'd love to add one to my fleet at some point, but think that an R32 or R33 will come before the RX7.

I dunno about that although my 98 GSX was VERY expensive to maintain and how it loved me spending money on it, my 4Runner is getting very close to matching how much i spent on the eclipse... but i will say this I MISS MY ECLIPSE!!!!!

Dude, the interior looks flawless on that 90 runner. Has it been re-done? Anyway, hope you get top dollar for that thing cus I looks like it has been treated well (unlike the runner I bought and dumped 3K into).

A wankle engine should use (burn) a qt. of oil every 1500-3000 miles. Most peeps didn't check they oil level often enough and their apax seals dried leaving hardly any compression.
That was the real downfall of the rotary engine. It needed to be watched (maintained regularly)and most peeps just drove the piss out of em.
I totally rebuilt an 86 13B for storm chasin' when I first moved to OK from WA. Slap second at 9Kr's and I could change lanes steering straight ahead. FUN FUN car!!! I miss it.
