How's it going guys!? Well, I just started the hobby, and I'm trying to get a 1990 GXL FC going. No success yet,but I'm hoping I can learn things here to get it to start. If you're from Cincinnati and have some interest in chatting about rx7's locally, shoot me a message!

Welcome to the forum!! Would love to see pictures of your FC!! Do you know any of the car's history?

I have some history. It was owned by an older woman that used to race cars with her husband, she got too old to drive a 5 speed, so she gave it to her son in law. It sat a lot at that point, and hadn't run in a year when I got it. He gave me the old, it just needs a new fuel pump, I replaced it and that was not the issue. The slave cylinder was locked up, so I replaced that and the master cylinder (It still has some air in the line, noob). I was told at the tire shop that the rims were corroded, so they will always have issues with holding air, so I replaced them with new ones. I'm hoping to get them refurbished and get them back on so I can keep the car as original as possible, the rest of the car is original, 75k miles. I've tried most of the usual suggestions on the forum, but still can't get it to start. Has fuel delivery, spark(new plugs as well), and passed the compression sound test. I did all the deflooding techniques with no success. I will try the standard compression test this weekend, wish me luck.
