FL Hello from the 850

Hey all, my name is Michael, I've just recently been blessed with a stock 1990 vert, non turbo. Not a newb to the car scene, but this is my first rotary vehicle. Being such I apologize in advance for the "stupid" questions that may come out once I get into performance mods. Will have pics up in the next day or so.

the car runs fine, smokes like crazy when cranked, but other than that great. adding some stop leak to the radiator to see if that helps with the smoking.

How many miles on the motor? Have you ran a compression test?

Dude, I think I passed you today in front of Hurlburt Fld. I had the black TII that flashed the lights at you with the V8 sound coming from it

Apex, just turned 163K miles on it, and no have not done a compression check haven't had time. Prob gonna find a place local that knows rotary motors and let them have a go at it.

Arekusu, I don't think that was me, but at least I now know who has the TII
