Yester day, my brother piced up his 84 rx-7. He paid $100 for it, spent $20 on spark plugs, then messed with it about 2 or 3 hours, took ac of and such, and now it runs, and runs really good. Car had been sitting for a couple of years. Some said it might be carbon locked, so when we got it back to our street on car dolly, but car in gear and pulled it a little distance, engine turned over, then put new plugs in, checked fluids, and cranked it.

Nice buy! Not many other cars you can get that cheap and still drive. Got my first FB for $150 and the second for $80

I paid $250 for my very clean red 84 GSL and $175 for a more rusty black 85 GSL, both drive and the red one will be a very clean and fast street car when I'm done.

my first rx7 was the exact same story, but I put new plugs in and pored 2 stroke oil down the carb and that started it.
