Hi!

I recently found a very clean example of an '88 GLX on Marketplace. After the best buying experience of my life, the seller and I reached an agreement and I pick up the car Saturday!

Thanks to my lurking around here, I knew exactly what to look for in this car, and the seller did me right in laying everything out for me transparently. The engine is about 500mi into a rebuild and is making 117/117/115 & 110/105/107 on the rotary-specific compression tester. New fuel pump, plugs, hoses, vacuum solenoids etc etc. All-around, I think it's the best possible start for breaking into the rotary life.

Going to be picking up the car in Colorado and driving it 7 hours back to Texas. It'll be hot, so I know cooling is going to be critical. Wanted to formally join the site and say thanks for all the years of good intel buried here. I struck gold with this FC, but the real gold is buried on this forum.

Bye for now,

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on a good purchase. Finding a clean condition FC is like striking gold these days, and thanks for sharing the picture. Hope you stick around and document more as you go along, maybe even a build thread.

 

Honored to be here! A build thread is certainly in order. My plan is to restore this car to its 80's glory!

 

Hi aurion_zephyr, not only the car but also the picture you took is such beautiful. The plane in the background, awesome scene... Enjoy it!

 

thanks for the reply! I'm sheepish to admit this, but it was a pic the seller sent me. 😅 But you're so right! It's framed beautifully. This is definitely one of those cars you find yourself looking back at in the parking lot, isn't it?

 

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new RX-7!! You definitely got a great car, especially with a fresh rebuild!! Can't wait to hear more about it and see more pictures!
