New FC owner in Austin Texas
Hello. I just purchased my first RX7, an 86 NA. I have some experience with cars and friends with much more experience with cars. Ive always loved the style of the FC so when I saw the chance to make one my own I jumped at it. Its been sitting for quite a while, last date I know It was for sure registered was 1996, but the apex seals seem to be good and both the interior and exterior are in pretty good condition. I know I will need new brakes and a new fuel pump at the very least, but expect there to be more repairs to discover. I hope to get it running as quick as I can. I know in the pictures there is a spare tire, but I have all 4 stock wheels. Since Im so new, I dont really have a great grasp on the subtle differences between models. Can anyone tell me which trim Ive got?
Dirty bay, lots of leaves.
Coolant system seems to be solid, a lot of the rubber is still good as well surprisingly.
Definitely need to replace the belts, am a bit iffy about the alternator as well. New battery attached and all the electrical works.
Spark plugs are out and the engine cranks consistent puffs from the rotors. Im no expert but based on videos ive seen and some previous threads here, it sounds like ive got good compression.
The spoiler was nowhere to be found. Only chunk of it left is a little bit of plastic screwed in under the left side of the hatch.
Previous owner bought it off an auction. Dunno who put those tires on there but they are way too small.
Shes dirty right now, but I think shes got a lot of potential.
