Hello everyone,
Name is Paul, i live in West-by-god Virginia (have all my teeth, and own shoes, lol)

Have a soft spot for 80s model "sports cars".. my dad had a Rx7 1st gen (that i dont remember) and i own a mazda 3 as a DD.

24 years old, just recently got married to a beautiful older (shes 26) NICU Nurse.. had a project car (1985 Dodge Conquest) that i was working on and it was stolen out of my apartment complex (wasnt registered/insured) was a complete loss..

wife has graciously allowed me the back wall in her garage for a project car..

Now on to the project!
Going tonight to look at a 84 Gsl-se Rx7 for sale locally.
what all do i need to look for? any problematic areas? and the guy was asking $1500.

 

guy agreed to $1000 and a guitar/amp.. should be picking it up in the next couple days..
Pics!

street ported 12a engine with 10k miles on it


those wheels arent on the car now (thankfully)


interior is in great condition

 

Welcome to the rx7club forum. I'm Ron.

 

Well i got her home, ended up after 2 days of fighting with my friend's dad's trailer.. he was like "couldnt we just call ____ and have him tow it?"

so we ended up calling the tow company and did an "off the charts" tow for $50, got it home in one piece!

Need to throw a battery in it (todays task i believe)

and i had a question.. previous owner (has two FC's and this FB) said that the distributor was bad, which was throwing timing off and causing rotor 2 to over heat drastically.. is there any way to check if the DIZZY is bad? id hate to replace something that doesnt need replaced.. lol

 

Wait!..what kind of guitar and amp?

 

Starfire Flying V in red metal flake. Lol

 

nice fb!
