My first suggestion is to type in proper sentences, using correct punctuation and spelling. That is going to make it a lot easier for others to be able to understand what you are asking, and makes it more likely that you will get useful replies.

For new owner information, first take a look at http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/newowner.htm

As that page recommends, the first task is a complete tuneup and inspection of the car. First correct all the little problems and make sure the car is operating at 100%, then you can modify if you like.

Im sorry about the bad english. Thank you for the replys. I have a question, is there any thing that i need to replace because i know that my motor is not going to last (more then 160k of mileage) . I dont have the money for a rebuild. So please let me know.

well to be honest man, this isn't the type of car you should buy if you can't afford to fix it, 160k on a motor about average but it'll need a rebuild in the next 10k possibly
