83 RX7 GSL 183K miles

Hello,
Just got my 1st RX7 for $800.00 with 183k on the odometer. Bought the car at first glance due to the straight body panels. I was prepared to tear it down to get properly educated but aside from replacing the thermostat housing, hoses and spraying contact cleaner on the combo switch, the car is running solid and fully operational. I've been using it as my new daily to get a feel for her and to butt-diagnose any issues. So far so good. I really like how she handles and I don't mind neglecting my other car (2011 Speed3). I've been reading a lot of info on here for a few months now and it's been very helpful which is why I decided to finally sign up.

Welcome!! The car looks to be in super nice shape and looks to be color code U2, Stardust Blue! Around here that poor car would be rotten from rust! Do you know any history on the car or have any paperwork with the car?

Thanks for the color code info. The car was a salvage title and did not come with paperwork. It was part of a bulk purchase that was thrown in with 2 datsuns and an e30. They weren't into rotaries and the price was hard to pass up.
