Took apart the nikki and found this...

I took off the stock nikki carburetor and found this


which is/was connected to this



a better picture of that object is here:

Now... this piece is found behind and then below the carburetor. Is this an important piece or one of those safety emission collecting mechanism (like the carb canister)

1983 FB / GSL 1.1L

Also, since you guys are helping me inspect my carburetor (or just browsing)

^ Is that amount of rust normal? It's the part connected to the radiator.

Not sure if my 1.1k investment was worth it after all.

If you're not gonna keep emissions, all those pieces parts can go. Search 'stripping Nikki'. A to the rust, knock it off with sandpaper and paint it.
1100 paid for an Rx7 is not an investment, it's the price of a ticket to boundless joy and adventure.
