New guy here and new to rotarys
hey guys.
Just picked up an '81 RX-7 yesterday,pretty excited about it but sad part is it'll be put away for the winter before i even get to work on/drive it.But anyway some quick info about the car.I'm the 3rd owner,the 2nd owner has had it since it was 4 months old,it hasn't been driven for about 4 years,it's been winter stored most of it's life.During the 4 years it wasn't on the road it was in storage.It's got about 113k km on the engine and body,and is misfiring below 2000rpm(maybe just because it's been sitting without being driven for so long?)Anyway i picked it up for $500 and gere are the pics.
Thanks for looking and comments are more then welcome.Can't wait to really get in this car and start working on it.

Wow, I'm jealous. I wish I'd found that for my first Rex. That looks like beautiful country there too. Probably a dumb question, but where is P.E.I.? Anyway, I'd recommed getting a Hanes manual and checking out the FAQ page: https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/1st-gen-rx-7-faq-page-237777/
There's a lot of good information and some real knowledgable people.

Hi im new here.
I recently inherited a 1986 RX7 non- turbo for the amount of FREE!!!!!
Well the bad thing is that it does not run. The vehicle has been sitting in a barn for 5 years. I hope to get it running soon.
