NC Its ALIVE!!! Muah ha ha ha!

I'm super excited, like I promised in a previous thread, I will get it running!

https://www.rx7club.com/1st-gen-general-discussion-207/request-pics-my-%24200-fb-752530/

I got a few days off, and called one of my close friends Ben A.K.A Dreyko (Forum member) and we spent some time getting the little doo doo brown rx7 up and running....

The amazing thing is that after 4 years of being parked it only took about 15 minutes to get it running and idling perfect. On 4 year old gas!. The other amazing thing is that before I bought the car the lady told me that she parked it because it needed a transmission. After we got it running we started to prep it for its first drive down the road in a long time... and we found the problem... the clutch fluid needed to be bled, we drove it around for a few minutes and it shifted perfectly into every gear... so she parked a car because she needed to bleed the clutch

All We did was pour a little oil in the spark plug holes and spray some starter fluid to get it started.

I wanted to thank all of you guys and your super informative posts and threads. for teaching me soo much in such a short amount of time. I've spent alot of time searching and learning ALOT about the rotary world, and day by day Im starting to fall in love with these first gens

Oh yeah.... heres a quick little video of the first crank in 4 years. I'm the fat Puerto Rican guy... Dreyko is cranking it....
