I've owned quite a few of these cars over the years...rx-7's and the rotary engine are wonderful cars when properly maintained. Excluding Miatas, Rx-7's have historically had some of the best handling for a compact RWD platform.

do you know what it could be ? its not slipping. The clutch kit was installed a year ago and the car sat for almost a year. I was thinking its the clutch bearing or something. I really wish he had installed the OEM clutch I ****ing hate these aftermarket clutches there is no need unless you have a really powerfull car or something.
