Im planning on buying a low mileage 88' base next weekend. Im no stranger to cars, ive been working on them for years. However this is my first rotary, and first mazda. Im kinda a huge toyota fan, but this is too good of a deal to pass up.

What do I need to know about this car? What are some questions I wanna ask the seller? What are effective modifications?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Say hello to a ton and a half of fun, and goodbye to any cash you've got laying around.

 

Get a Turbo model, you will just end up wanting one in a short amount of time.

 

get a compression test, look for any water leaks / oil leaks, watch the temp.... etc. the same as any car really! just way better.

 

Forget you want one. Save yourself while you still can.

 

stick with toyotas you will miss them if you leave, i know

 

Get out while you still can.

 

Dont buy it dude...by the time your done putting money into it and getting it the way you want it...your ready for a new project. It is something to be proud of ..if you got deep pockets! If your really ...really want to get into rotaries....go TURBO now!

 

TII or nothing!!! i got bored with my NAs in like a month. TIIs look WAY better and are WAY faster....one of the first things people talk about is doing 6port turbo and buying a TII hood. why not just buy a TII
