Smile Picking up my 7 tommorow!

Well I went to the guys house yesterday and did a compression test on the motor. First I listened to it and I got 3 even and strong pulses on both front and rear rotor's. Then I hooked up a regular compression tester and got around 90 psi on all 3 rotor faces on both front and rear rotors. At first the results seemed low but I read that the tester is gonna be 20% of the real compression value, so it should actually be more like 108 psi. The car is a 84 gsl rx7. This is my first 1st gen and my first carburated car so its gonna be a little different. I own a 89 turbo supra at the moment so its gonna be hard getting used to the 100 hp that the 12a generates . But I dont care cuz I just want a daily SA until I get my FD next February. Just thought I would share with you guys!
