i have decide that free stuff sucks

My " free" 81 rx-7 is not going to be so free the smoking problem is infact a major collant leak into the engine. The car idles ok and will run up to rpm with power as long as I leave the rad. cap loose. But if i try to restart it it floods with water and won't start with out setting and starting fluid. SO i guess this ends the turbo 12a for now.
But if its free its for me.

So buy a 13BT for 1000 or whatever. You could have a TII FB for under 2000.
