The RX-7 has been sitting under the car cover for a LONG time as the apex seals are slightly warped. (Year and a half or so?)
The connection on the fuel metering pump was not good... I found it and fixed it after the seals warped on a brand new rebuild.

So around dusk it was 70 degrees and I decided to start up the car and take it out for a spin. Started right up after I primed the engine with oil. The car ran like a top and even started idling correctly. The compression is coming back. It has ~13 at idle but idle is around 1050/1100, little low but it use to not idle at all. Maybe tommorow if it's nice I'll do a compression check. I hope it still sucks because I am getting ready to pull it and put in better seals.

Three people tried to race me, I got a thumbs up and some chicks stalking me in a 3 series bemmer.


Anyhow, I forgot how much fun the car can be.

 

Glad you enjoyed it and good luck on everything. Im still waiting for my fd.

 

just took mine out too...feels so good to drive a fast car again....lol...

 

everyone tries to race you in these cars, and chicks dig it

nothing like an FD, I'll be back on the road very soon

 

I love how you see no FD's in the winter in Va. They kindof bloom like flowers every spring. Keep us updated on the rebuild.
