New horse in the stable
My brother's RX-7 has been sitting at my parents house for a while. Well its gotta get out of there, and I couldn't see junking it. So I'm taking it home. I believe its a 85 GSL-SE. Its either an 85 or an 84. They were the only 2 years they had the 1st gen RX-7 body with the GSL-SE option - the new 13b powerplant. Can't wait to start checking it out.

Look at it yet?
hmmmm... Aug. 22...............Sept.1.....
yeah. It looks like it needs paint really really badly. That and the interior is totally faded - so much so that its ugly.
And I looked online to see what I should do to get a rotory back in shape after sitting for 15 years. It looks like it could be a long and complicated process if the engine doesn't want to cooperate....so at this point I'm considering maybe the first thing I should do is pull the motor. Just not even trying to get it started - just yank it. Supposedly you can ruin the rotor housing(basically like an engine block for a piston motor) if the apex seals aren't working properly. And dad thinks thats what the problem was in the first place - a blown apex seal.
Next step - yank motor.
All I can say is if you treat her well, she will take care of you... The car that is! :) Nice blog site jimbo!! Didnt know you had one!!
Its an 85 GSL-SE
