I live in SW Iowa and bought a1980 RX7 LS about 18 months ago for my high school daughter. It gets a lot of complements, but needs some mechanical and cosmetic TLC. I believe it's stock except for wear and maintence items. It's a black car with gold pin stripes; a perfect match for my 1975 Cosworth Twin Cam Vega and my 1980 Yamaha XS850 Midnight Special motorcycle.



I need to get the idle down to improve mpg and improve control in the snow. It's unfortunately an automatic, and I'm guessing the engine has a vacuum leak. I plan to go through the rats nest better this summer, or perhaps remove it. Headers and an improved exhaust are something I hope to do too.



I don't have a lot of faith in the OMP; and my go to an external OMP.





I’d like to find some good low back seat covers; or check into getting the leather driver’s seat re-upholstered.



Warm weather is just around the corner. Time to improve and enjoy!
