n00b over here
Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself. I just picked up my '86 RX7 on Tuesday. It's a total POS, heh, but it's my second car, so it's a project. Any suggestions on maintenence issues, or whatever will be helpful. This is my first rotary, so I'm just starting to learn about them. I've already heard about the compression test, and I'm looking into getting that done ASAP. Thanks, Paris

Haven't we ALL heard this
On the compression test you can do it your self and save. Just search and you should turn up what you need. Make sure the engine is up to operating temp.
You can use any standard compression testing kit. Does not need to be rotary specific.

Welcome to the crazy world of wankel. Congrats on the 86'. I think Aaron and SonicRat probably have most of your quetions answered. And since you're a girl, you're going to get hit on and asked for pics like crazy. I'm sure you're aware of that, but I figured I should give you a heads up.
