Re: 1987 RX7 turbo

I had about that many miles on one of my old T2's...It still ran very strong!

Its well worth it if it runs & looks decent...

Check for gas smell on the dipstick...Get a compression test...Also smell the oil cap...(for gas) A strong gas oder shows leaking injectors or bad compression, or both...Ask if it has ever flooded out...

Drive it...along time...through all conditions...
Then...shut her down, check it over well, look for leaking fluids, check the exhaust, an old clogged cat will really dampen the Turbo spirit...Then after 10-15 mins...
Just back In & restart her...Old wornout engines are hard to start and very hard to restart when hot...Does it blow smoke at start up? Or at WOT?

Let us know how it goes...
Good luck/skill!
