1985 Mazda RX7 GSL-SE 1.3L from North America
Summary:
Affordable Chick Magnet
Faults:
Starter needed a rebuild.
Needed a new battery.
Replaced wires from the alternator to the battery.
Nothing mechanical, just regular maintenance after the car wasn't touched for a very long time.
General Comments:
This car is an absolute dream to drive, ladies love it, super fast, quick off the line, gets the job done. Gets you to anywhere you want in style and affordability. The rotary engine is always a wise choice, and should definitely be looked on.
This car offers everything you should find in a sports car; sun roof, power mirrors etc.
The car is a bit hard on gas, but you never waste a single spec of gas in this car, every single moment you enjoy.
The car won my heart, and with it being an antique right away... I'm keeping my hands on my pretty RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) sports car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

You should not use synthetic oil with the 13-b. It does cause carbon build-up.
Sounds like a great car, I have a black '85 GSL-SE with 63,000 miles. She runs like dream. Would like to get the Racing Beat full exhaust. These cars will only increase in value.
Have fun, PETE.
