WA My 1982 RX-7 GSL

Here's a link to some photos: https://imgur.com/gallery/UeyJo

Just got this earlier this month. It's got 118,000 on the clock. It's only had 1000 miles put on it in the last 5 years. After I purchased it, I put about 70 miles on it to get it home and them went through everything, i.e. anitfreeze flush, oil change in engine, rear diff (trans was really clean), bled brakes and clutch, checked thermostat, fixed a broken oil cooler, new plugs, wires, cap and rotor, fixed burnt out lights and cleared all drain passageways. This thing is a ton of fun, but I have to be careful. Today was rainy and on one little errand run I had the rear end out sideways 3 different times. It's definitely time for new rubber as records indicate these tires are from 2012. It has a RB full exhaust and it looks like the driveshaft is brand new too (from a local driveshaft company). Otherwise it looks like everything is mostly stock. It does have a bit of rust at all four lower door corners.

Nice, welcome to the forum! Car looks super clean. Glad to hear you're taking proper care of it with preventative maintenance and doing the fluid changes, I am a huge proponent of that stuff right away.
Change the fuel filter yet?
