i was also impressed with the seats. the previous owner told me he didnt drive it much. and all miles were highway. it was his daily driver for 9 years though.
I think i have found the holy grail of FC's LOL

You just have to love the non-turbo cars... when taken care of, they do last forever. 167,000 miles is nothing if the oil was changed every 3000 miles. I'm not sure what your plans are for this gem, but keep in mind that a "virgin" NA with that many miles will need attention as soon as you touch anything in the engine bay.
IE:
1) The rubber hoses are all brittle. As soon as you touch one, you will be replacing them all.
2) That cold start assist bottle in the engine bay probably has about 16oz of green jello in it.
3) You might want to check the radiator hoses and thermostat as well if the maintenance records don't say if they've been replaced.
4) Consider running adding a little pre-mix to the gas tank on fill-ups until you have verrified that the oil metering pump is functioning fully. (IE: No air bubbles in the lines) This is just insurance...
Great find BTW! The paint looks fantastic.
Best of luck with it.

actually i was looking at all the hoses today every one has been replaced there all in amazing shape the car was taken to a RX-7 shop here in Ohio. the cold start assist bottle was also filled with new fluid, he told me and i checked its new. the Oil is Gold brand new like its still in the bottle WTF i know how is that possible. lol i will be adding racing beat duals to it due to the fact that the left exhaust tip has broken off from being on a 20 year old car.
