Great deal... You've got a lot to work with. My only advice (without knowing intimate details), is to just give the car a GOOD once-over and replace all of the basic nonsense before pushing it. (plugs, filters, fluids etc.)

After this, just be really careful until you get comfortable with the Rx7, inside and out...

Wow. Nice steal markcali7. I thought I stole my reman'd S5 for 3500.

What's the story with it? Original motor?
