i personally dont like the look of the 2nd gen rx-7, 3rd is HOT! if its between a 2nd gen rx-7, and putting an h22 in your accord, i'd stay with the accord, well depends what year accord u have also. my friend has a 3rd gen rx-7, with several mods on his turbo car, actually 2 had a 3rd gen rx-7, and the one that doesnt have theirs anymore, had a 10-11 sec rx-7 3rd gen, and they never had problem with theirs. they had very poor gas mileage cuz of their great power in their cars. the only thing i kno is that, you have to rebuild the engine once around 100,000 miles. do the research, but just cuz car has a reputation for something, doesnt mean its that way for most of their cars.
