Hey everyone. I bought a red 91 N/A today. I got it off of Autotrader and it is great. I drove it all day. It is just so different I love it. It has aftermarket wheels, pacesetter header, aerospeed mufflers, open element K&N, stage 1 clutch, lightened flywheel, eibach 1' springs, and I believe he said tokico shocks. It's a blast and the motor is a rebuild with 45K on it. I thank you all for your insight. BTW I fought what is the best oil to use for the car?
p.s. The only downfall is the suspension is stiff as hell and I feel all the cracks.
Also damn the car is loud :eek2:

uh, be glad that you can feel everything on the road. It shows that its real performance
Don't use syntheic on the engine; make sure you K&N Gold Filter, if you don't have the money go for mobil 1 and mobil 1 oil.

Castrol GTX is what most recommend. If you are in a warm/hot climate go for 20w50. If it's cold/warm go for 10w30. :0

This one guy told me that you can run 2 cycle oil in a rotary. Is this true? Is it good or bad to run 2 cycle oil in a rotary?

Well, you can run premix and synthetic but you need to remove the oil injection system. And if you forget to put premix...

Well I'm going to stick with the good old injection system :)
thanks for the info.

Yesterday I changed the oil and spark plugs. I used the Castrol GTX and I put in NGK spark plugs. I think the next thing I'm going to put on is a set of plug wires and change the coolant. Do any of you use those coolant additives? Do you believe they actually work, because I don't really think they do.
