can't your yard or the junkyard get you a 907?

anyway, yes, the '89-'91('92) models are referred to as the Series 5 cars.

Use common sense when driving it until the engine reaches operating temperature. Meaning don't red line it. Keep it 5k or under.

Always keep an eye on the temperature gauge. Meaning never overheat a rotary engine. IF you overheat it and don't shut it down quickly more than likely you are going to be doing a rebuild. :-)

Also keep an eye on the oil pressure and warning light for low level oil If one of the oil hoses breaks you will lose oil quite rapidly and also are subject to engine failure.

Another small favor here- When forming sentences please make it so others can comprehend them. Keep them structured, don't let them run on and run where it looks like one giant sentence. :-)
