RX7 FC S5 Project (Been in a garage for 20 years)

Hi,

My name is Jim. I've just bought a RX7 FC S5 project from a family member who parked it up in a garage 20 years ago and left it. (He hadn't prepped the car for storage so a lot of things to sort out.

Any advice would be welcome as never worked on Rotary Engines before.

I live in Hertfordshire, UK

Cheers

Welcome to the forum!!! I would love to see pictures of the car!! Definitely a lot to go over with a car that's been sitting for 20 years. We will save that for the 2nd gen tech section as far as details are concerned. However, expect to start with the fuel system, cleaning of the tank, lines, and injectors. MMO in the engine for sure. New spark plugs and wires will be a must, as will many gaskets and o-rings along the way.

Many thanks for the welcome and advice. I'll take pictures and upload over the weekend
