RX7 unused for 10 months
Picking up an FD purchased at auction in Japan this Monday and read through the service history to discover that the speedo has only added 90km`s since its last service in May last year. That`s essentially 10 months without being driven. Apart from the obvious, is there anything i should replace, check etc soon after I collect it?
