Hey everyone I have a 1984 RX7 12a non-turbo that has been sitting for somewhere close to 15 years and hasn't been started I'm planning on making this car my daily driver and I am just wondering is there anything that I should definitely look into before attempting to start this engine I know normally you want to turn it over a few times and making sure it cant start to get everything re lubricated, carb cleaning, check for mice nests, etc but I didn't know if maybe there was some things more specific to the 12a that needs to be looked at before attempting to start it thanks in advance

 

Its no different than any other vehicle that has been sitting. Replace ALL fluids, belts and hoses. Drop the gas tank and clean it and the lines, new fuel filter, put some oil in the rotor chambers and roll it over by hand a few times while you do all that work

New tires to when you get it ready for the road, but that you can at least do last

 

Thank you very much
