New member from Wisconsin

Hi, my name is Cris, I'm 17, and I recently bought a 1987 rx7(as a first car). I don't really know much about rotary engines so I might come here a lot for some engine help. I bought it in pretty good condition, came with a 13b non turbo rotary, aftermarket air intake, manual 5 speed transmission, and a straight piped exhaust, so it's pretty loud, and it sits on the stock wheels with some BC coil overs ,the chassis I'd say is about a 7 out of 10. The front left fender has a dent on the front next to the bumper from the previous owner hitting a weird pole in a parking lot. There's some rust spots around the car such as the doors but they're only surface spots thankfully. The car still has the factory light blue paint, only problem is the left front fender and drivers door paint are chipping away. I just managed to get the car running by replacing these ridiculously old spark plugs. The interior of the car is pretty good; carpet is all blue with those stock bucket seats. It came with an off brand "drift" steering wheel(if you will) and a 10 inch pioneer sub that was inserted through the passenger side compartment in the back. The heater, AC, and sunroof still work. The clutch needs to be adjusted slightly since it likes to stick on the floor for a few seconds once I take my foot off. I'm looking forward to this car, pretty much fell in love with it once I saw it so yeah, I'd greatly appreciate all the help I can get from anyone on here, thanks!

Lucky, see I don't have a garage, so I don't know what to do with mines when the snow hits :/
