Just Picked up a 93 RX7 Need Some Help?

I just picked up a 93 RX7 with a 32k mile rebuilt engine. What should I buy to maintain it. Also does anyone know what front fenders are on this yellow RX7?

1) Read the 4th message from the top in this forum, the one that says newbies.

2) I don't know, I've seen them before.

I'm glad it didn't sell, or I assume it didn't. I think that is a hideous bumper and a hideous tail and an abomination of a hood and a hideous light kit. The combination makes it look butt ugly. Altogether, yet another example of how to take something nice and pure, and make it look like ***.

The fender I have always found intriguing, the way it wraps in, but it does castrate one of the nicest aesthetic design touches of the car, the side vents and the resulting merge into the door panel.

I'm not sure. In what context was "ACS"?

There is an AWS Accelerated Warmup System, which kicks the idle up to 2000 rpms to heat up the oil faster for the turbos, but most people disable it, or pump the gas once to turn it off.

he was probably referring to the ast? maybe... if so thats a part of our coolant systems used to "burp" out bubbles, the stock one is plastic and has a tendancy to crack and pour coolant... upgrade if yours already isnt.

Any other reliablity mods to do. I just picked up a HKS Blowoff valve, HKS carbon fiber titanium exhaust and turbo time. Time to start on the cooling stuff.
