Hi Dr. Nick





I'm looking for some advice/info, and I figured I'd go straight to the source. First off, let's state that I've been a rotary enthusaist for quite some time now, but I've never so much as driven a rotary powered car.



Now for the meat. A friend just informed me that his brother who lives in Florida (I'm in Ohio) has an FB sitting at his parents house (also in Ohio) that he is tired of paying insurance on. He says he is willing to come off of it pretty cheap, since I'm a friend of his brother. It's an '85 GSL-SE. I know that these are fairly rare, and that it has the 13B in it. I also know that it is the fully optioned model (the heavy one), and that it had the most power of the NA FBs (I'd love to find a turbo 12A, but let's see that happen ), but aside from that I'm almost clueless about FBs.



The only thing I know specifically about this car is that the sway bar mounts are broken (larger than stock bar installed). Is there any place to source these mounts, or would I have to fabricate my own?



Is there any reason I should avoid this car? Are there any common problems with these? Is the fuel injection system up to par?



TIA.
