Any advice

I just bought a 86 non-turbo RX7 great condition only 48k. Its been garaged for about 14 years seems to run fine doesnt smoke and dont seem to be leaking oil. Im not to big on rotarys so Im not sure what to look out for. Any advice of things I should replace or look out for?

Wow, that damned impressive for an FC. I guess cause its been garaged....
Anyway, just look over all the hoses. In fact you should prob go through and replace all the vac lines under the hood to be safe. Look for cracks in the coolant lines. Rubber gets brittle with age and can crack easily.
Anyway, congrats on the find and welcome to the rotary lifestyle.

Change every fluid in the car, every one, all filters, oil, air, fuel, and get the gas out a.s.a.p. now. It is no good, bad, terrible, do this first, now. And do the atf trick with plugs, at top of page. Your seals have not been lubricated for all this time, don't drive or high rpm until all things have been done. This is a few 'MAJOR" things to do first, you will get lots more answers, and pay attention to all.

PEACE THE DOG GREAT FIND AND GOOD LUCK, WELCOME!
