Hey everyone. hope to fit in here well, i just bought my first project car, 1988 Rx7. I got a hell of a deal too! $1500 Canadian for it, few things that needs done such as fixing the parking break (no resistance, i tightened the cable and it did nothing) some indicator bulbs, and a break bleed. (also has some rust but nothing that wont cause inspection to fail). Any tips as a first time owner? Should i premix with 2 stroke oil even with a working OMP?

 

Contrats on your purchase! Personally, I've owned a 12A powered car for 46 years and counting. (actually own several currently) I have lots of experience of pre mixing my old 2 stroke motocross bikes, but have never felt the need to pre mix my Rx-7 and have never had an OMP or major engine failure.

Lots of people do swear by it however, mainly for peace of mind I guess, or other modifications they may have made. (my cars are all stock) I admit, a little extra protection isn't a bad idea, but for those who claim its necessary, I've had no problems relying on the original design. Still, its easy and cheap insurance to add one once per gallon when you fill up.
