Thumbs down

Well it finally happened. After reading this site for about a month I finally got my first rotary!! Its a Silver 93 Touring with 60,000 miles. Red interior and is fast as hell!!

Anyway before I got it I coulnd't drive manual. 10 inutes after picking it up I had it down solid and drove into my driveway. Before I got out my neighbors were crowding around it wondering what it was. When I told them it was a 93 mazda they all freaked out. One even said "I bet it could keep up with some of those mustangs around town".



Well my problem is since I bought the car on saturday it wouldn't be insured until monday. And now I am even more pissed off because I was staring at it in my garage and noticed that the inspection sticker and registration sticker had expired. So now lord knows when I can drive it. Cops are bad around town and I got pulled over last month in my 4runner for not having the inspection sticker on my window. :rant:



Anyway for those who care here is a little more about the car. Mods, etc.



Pettit TKT package

Pettit ECU

Greddy Exhaust

Greddy Turbo timer and Boost gauge

Everything else is stock!



If someone could help me out with a few tips on how to maintain the car that would be great. I know everything that has ever been done to the car thanks to the great care the previous owner. He told me to use a little bit of Castrol 2-stroke motor oil when filling up. Is this wrong? What else should I do to make my car last longer. Thanks!!

Nice ride.



Just read around the forum and search for maintenance. That should point you in the right direction.

Looks good. I use mobil 1 two stroke oil, about 6 oz per tank of gas. It helps reduce wear on the seals and other internals. Any 2 stroke that has a low ash deposit should work good.

Yes I know how rare they are. I was very lucky to find one is this condition! But I did have to pay for it! Thanks for the great comments. I think I took the title away from 1revvin7 for the RX7 baby but I plan on taking very good care of it. First time I took it out on the road an Iroc pulled next to me and started revving his engine. I had to let it go. Don't get me a wrong I am a speed freak but where I live there aren't too many places to do that except for the track in the town next over. Not planning on taking it since I don't want to pay for it in the end. Its my baby and I plan on keeping it that way. Already my girlfriend is jealous. But what can I do? Get rid of it?

Very nice ride man!! Take good care of her and she'll do you good. Remember your basics, like filling up with only premium, checking and changing the oil frequently, let it warm up a little before driving it hard, and of course let it turbo time down.
