Newbie to The Rotary

hello every my name is ricky. i just purchased a 1986 mazda rx7 today. main point i know close to nothing about the rotary engine and decided joining here would help greatly. i specifically went after an N/A model so i could learn about the engine, i have read they are the better cars to start off on..turbo can always come later on. ive been driving for about 3 1/2 years now and have a pretty good job so i figured i could pull off owning an rx7, have a seperate daily doesnt hurt either because i do expect problems lol.
the one i bought has a few problems that i hope to get worked out.
- needs new shifter bushings...BAD lol
- going to redo the slave and master clutch cylinders...my clutch pedal sticks so
i really dont want to drive it like that
- and a day prior to me buying it the PO removed the coolant resivoir to clean it up
so i have to reinstall that, flush the coolant, refill and make sure nothing
overheats.
- one of the door locks doesnt work to good.
overall it runs good and the body is in good condition so we will see were this rotary path takes me
but the coolant is first on the to reinstall list. anyone know where the two hoses connected to it go????

anyways i dont know if pics are allowed so i wont put any up as of now. i hope to learn a lot here and from others i may come to meet in person. if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions to help me out or just inform me of weakspot ect. please post
