1993 rx7 w 34k miles

Car came into my possession following an inheritance (I know, I know) now I’ve been ready heavily about these, making certain it’s taken care of!

it is stock everything

what should I do to keep this beauty up to par?

(noob!)

I’ve gotten the ‘rotary’ specific 2-stroke oil for pre-mixing.

is Castro 10-30 non-synthetic okay for oil change?

id like to keep it stock but add whatever is going to help longevity, cold air intake? HELP and thank you, I love you all.

Welcome to forum . Use a 25-70 non synthetic oil is better than 30 oil is too thin

Living in Maine, I'd keep the thinner oil. 10W 30 is just fine. In the summer in California (or Austrailia) we switch to something thicker but I bet you're fine.

Welcome, sorry to hear about your loved one that died, but congrats on the FD! By the looks of that upper intake manifold, you live near the beach like me. Might wanna wipe that corrosion/salt off of there.
The 1st two mods for an FD are usually a new AST, since the stock one is made of plastic and prone to leaking, and a new radiator for pretty much the same reason.

Fluidyne make a good radiator that drops right in and here's an AST for pretty cheap:

Thank you, my friend! I’m going to look into this. I need to find someone within the New England Area, I hope, who can help..

You guessed correct! The car is from the mid-coast here since it being bought, the tail end of 92’ or 93’ at the Mazda dealer in Michigan.

Nice find. I would start with making sure all the basic maintenance is up to date.

All fluids and filters, as well as spark plugs if it has been 30k miles since their last change. Your car will greatly appreciate having all new fluids and filters if that has not already been done.
