I just bought my first rotary on tues the 9th and i am so lost when it comes to this car, lol! I picked up an 86 N/A 5spd, I think it's a GLX? Dunno for sure. it's got a few little things that are minor annoyances, and from what i've gathered they are all pretty common things. Like the horn, buzzer, clock, some idiot lights, dome lights, door locks but some other things, not so much. Like the shifter is loose, possibly the bushings, and my steering is rediculously hard, like i dont have ps, but i have no idea how to check if i have ps or manual, and my clutch is hard to push. Anywho here she is.



i need to get more pics when i clean her up.

 

i meant to put GXL lol. but maybe you guys could help me decypher it. thanks!

 

welcome to nopistons! a mod may move this to the 2nd gen forum in the morning to try to get more answers. the power steering is an easy one though, check and see if there's a belt driven pump on the front of your engine that has two lines going to the steering rack. if there is, yes you have power steering but something's leaking or not building pressure. if there's no pump, someone's removed it.

 

thanks poorguy!!



there are lines going to the steering, and there is fluid all over them, but idk where to add any.

 

the lines should go up to a pump that's attached to the engine. the pump will have a small tank with a cap on it and that's where you fill it. being that there's fluid everywhere you may want to look into some new lines and fittings, and at least clean off the pump so you can see where the fill line is lol

 

also the pump is belt driven so check to make sure the belt's still in good condition, if still there lol

 

Oops, I didn't see this thread till now....

 

looks nice!



um GXL will have a ear wiper, and well everything. seats with separate head rests, ac, the 4 piston brakes

 

clean looking fc
