Just got my new RX-7
Hay, my name is Rob and I am from Minnesota(Around Elk River area). I just got my 1985 RX-7 (12a). I just got done doing the simple things to get it ready for winter and getting the the stuff that was wrong with it fixed. I know not the greatest car for winter, but I am going to try and grit my teeth and get through it. I have done Oil change(5w-20), Air Filter, Anti freeze, sea foamed the he|| out of it, e-brake, tires, vacuum hoses(they where hard), and I am just working on getting the rust removed(bottom rust). I am also repainting trim right now. Other then that if any one that own an rx-7 or something close or you just want to meet up let me know. I am totally new to car let alone rotary.

thank you
lindahlish- yea, we should keep in touch. I also have another friend that is getting an rx7 second gen I think.
As for how much I got it for. I got it for 800 and there is bottom rust, but fixable. The skirts have a spot on each side that needs a patch.

Yeah Erifx, let's keep in touch. I don't think I'm going to drive mine in the winter if I can at all help it because we both know what these fricken Minnesota winters are like - rusting out cars in 12ft of snow accompanied by 12in of salty road slush with -20 temp and gotta get to work in 15 minutes - but we drive in it anyways! :]
