NV New To Rotarys

Hi Im Stu, i hail from Vegas, was a Mechanic for 5+ years before i joined the military, never got to work on rotarys (kinda bummed about that, they just never came into the shop for service or repair, which on the flipside is a good thing). My aspiration is to have an FC to use as a DD and possibly take the car to shows!.

So 2 weeks ago i picked up a 87 turbo ii runs and drives has a few electrical gremlins and a few oil leaks. And of course that damn oil low light and buzzer randomly comes on. All for the low low price of $500

Welcome to the forum Stu. I'm Ron.

Vegas is too hot for me. Hot weather is all bad for me.

Still live in Vegas with an RX7? Better invest in some aftermarket cooling systems! Nice find on the FC, hope you get to flesh out your idea man.

welcome InfidelDrift sorry didn't notice your post earlier ... we have out local meets Thursday evenings maybe you can join us sometime. Last week we had 14 cars turnout Rx4 SA's, FB's, FC's FD's. and 8's. Not bad for weekly meets

We have plenty of maintained cars running as DD's with little or no "cooling mods" and have no issues ..

And there are plenty of folks that can lend a hand and/or advice when you run into issues

if you see a rotary with a SinCityRotary banner it's one of us
