IL from 09 speed 3 to 83 rx-7???

Hey guys,


new to the rotary game, i have a 04 mazda 3, 08 mazda 6, and just lost my 2009 mazdaspeed 3 to a hit and run, and it was totaled, i got alot of money for the speed and was able to pay it off and my other mazda 3 so im enjoying being car note less, the guy down the street from me has a stupid clean 83-7. no rust at all not one spot and the interior is immaculate so im planning to pick it up as soon as my check from my speed 3 comes im going to pick it up. so im here to learn and SEARCH not new to the forums im on m3f and msf. b*


anyways have no idea about carbs so i need to read up on that. not looking to boost it just keep it clean it has 43 original miles on body and motor, i just wanna wire tuck this beyotch, lower it, and shoot flames...kthxbai

yea its quite a change from running DISI torque monster to a carb slow 7, but i just need a clean cruiser and this seems to do the trick, the MPG don't seem to bad either which is interesting, i find myself questioning the reliability of the fuel guage.

lol, thanks, yea the speed 3 was a awesome awesome car, i really loved it, the rx7 is slowly starting to fill the void for it, i get stopped all the time for people to ask me questions about it, and what kind of car is it, tons of people always taking pictures of it, never got that kind of attention in the speed.
