Score!!!

If that 7 is in oem condition, i.e., no mods, and passes CARB, you made out big time. Great find.

Welcome to the forum and the Darkside. To get you introduced to the rotary world, follow the links in my sig line. This will get you started with the basic FAQs, repair manuals and other reading on rotary history and theory.

Your new car is a prime candidate to keep in pristine stock condition. A mint SE is one of the few 1st gens that has the potential as a long term investment appreciation. Hang on to it and treat that baby and treatr her well.

Awesome buy. Welcome to the end of your wallet. You'll never enjoy being broke like this any other way. Take good care of her

Better get the battery off the a/c compressor and those wipers aren`t gonna be very effective. I`ll take it off your hands and fix all those discrepancies....
