CA New owner 1985 rx7 base model

I just bought a 1985 rx7 base model for $500 bucks. Pretty descent car at 108000 miles with a bad throwout bearing and little damage on driver fender side. Just want to say hello, and what do I need to do to keep this thing from falling apart? Thanks guy...

At 108,000 miles, you've got another 90,000 on the engine if you take care of it. That means being absolutely religious on the water and oil levels. Everything else is relatively easy to fix on the car or simply replaceable.

Good find and you can't beat that price!
