Hi, all been thinking of getting an RX-7 project so I went and bought one. 1983 Mazda RX-7 Limited Edition. Bought it from a mechanic who says "Low Compression" for 400 clear. Not bad at all.

Got her runnin
Well I got her running with a lil TLC tonight, smokes to high heaven but she runs now. I was thinking of either totally restore since she is one of 5000 *according to wiki* or autocross or SCCA Spec RX-7 depending on how I feel but for now, the high hurdle is passed........and compression check is fine, seals just needed a good lubing and the carb was sprayed out with carb cleaner. And I now have no mosquitos thanks to the smoke so 2 pts RX-7
