Tune-Ups – were to start?
I just picked up an 87 RX7 (base) with 120K that needs some work (body, interior, switches, suspension, etc). After a couple of days with it, the engine doesn’t seem to be delivering the power it should. I’m not sure how long ago any of the routine maintenance was performed. Probably time for a tune-up. Beyond the standard plugs, oil-change, fuel filter & air filter, where should I start?

From the FC FAQ :
I just got my car and I want to make it faster, what are the first modifications I should do?
Do a full 60K tune up, replacing all the fluids (including brake, clutch, tranny, engine oil, coolant, and rear end lube), spark plugs and cables, all filters (including fuel, oil and air), belts, any hoses that are leaking or bulging, and the O2 sensor. In addition if the car is more than 10 years old or has more than 120K miles on it, the Pulsation Dampener (or pimary fuel rail and integrated Pulsation Dampener on 89-91 FCs) should be also replaced.
