Just got a 85 GSL-SE, what should I replace?
I just bought a non working 85 GSL-SE for $800, I replaced the fuel pump, fuel rail, and injectors and it will now start and run (I just got it running yesterday)
Here's my question, I've replaced the oil and oil filter, what else should I replace for a Rx that's been sitting for 6 years, but was in great condition before it started sitting. I'm going to do all the diagnostic checks in the manual, but is there anything I should just automatically replace after it's been sitting for so long?
Thanks!

Inspect all brake hoses for cracks. Inspect calipers for rust and pads/rotors.
don't forget to evacuate and recharge the air in the tires,lol. Just kidding. rx7doctor

Word of advice, when you change the coolant and replace the thermostat. But a Mazda factory thermostat. Don't buy an aftermarket from the local auto parts store. There is a big difference.
