Smile Finally! Potentially New Owner Here

New owner here but not new to Rotaries. I have been through 6 rotaries in my lifetime and I just can't seem to shake this rotary addiction.

Here's the chronology of my experiences:

1) '83 Rx-7 GSL Silver/Black
2) '85 Rx-7 GSL-SE Red/Gray
3) '87 Rx-7 GSL Red/Gray
4) '91 Rx-7 Convertible Black/Black
5) '93 Rx-7 R1 Black/Black
6) '94 Rx-7 PEP MB/Tan

Anyway, so after darn near 3 years of looking for a well-kept car I finally found one in good condition. I had a pre-purchase compression test completed by the seller's shop and I will double-check the compression at Speed 1 in Allentown tomorrow.

Fingers crossed and hoping for the best. Pictures will follow once it is safely in my hands!

The car is a '93 Base Model Rx-7 with Reliability Mods and 45k miles on the clock. I am eager to go play with this new toy! Anyone local to Allentown on these boards?

Correction! Proud Owner of a 1993 Rx-7 Base VR with 45k miles on the clock.

I am the 3rd owner.... picked it up today and dropped it off for a post-purchase compression and sanity test. The car came with everything reliability mod-wise.

Great Seller... lucky find for me... 2.5 yr search... comes to a pleasant halt.

Rear Compression Check: Lowest Spikes ~100 psi, Highest Spikes ~111 psi... 100-105-111
Engine confirmed in good shape with no leaks whatsoever.
Performance Goodies confirmed to be functioning as intended:
1. HKS Super Drager Exhaust
2. HKS Air Intake
3. Jet Computer Chip
4. Denko Performance Down Pipe
5. Free-Flow Catalytic Converter
6. Unorthodox Power Pulley
7. Denko Performance Short Shifter

Unbelievable Buy!
