Hell yea! Another one down the rx7 rabbit hole 😆
Bought 82 gsl 1 owner about 3 months ago. Drained tank, flushed, new filter, plugs, oiled inside when did plugs, fixed some bad wireing Just started really hitting it this weekend. New fuel pump and some lines fired up and idles nice . Now to clutch and brake master cylinders. Owned 84 gsl in the late 80s loved it. Had 2 others i think 81 and 82 basic in early 90s both had seen better days. This one looks to be another good one. Really appreciate your site! Thank you!
OMG DON'T TELL THE GREENIES ABOUT HOW MANY DOLPHIN'S TREES YOU JUST TURNED INTO PLASTIC STRAWS WITH THAT SMOKE

Every one i can save is a trip man. Love getting these cars a new life!!
Happy for you man, great work.
Love the videos man, it's one of those things I hope is there when coming home from work . Lil Stu is most similar to my current situation- picked up 5 FBs all which have sat since latest 1995 . Have got two running and man do I know about the mouse smell and the smoking out the neighbourhood thing lol. Looking forward to the further diagnosis in running issues as you go on with it.

Heck yea man!!! Thank you for the support!!!! All those FBs are a solid investment if you got them cheap enough!!
Beautiful work on getting the rotory to run. Sounds very healthy
Smoked out like a Cypress Hill concert!
Well done brother. I mentioned my renesis engine to you a while back. It was rebuilt and me and my wife installed the engine. Actually we do all the work to the car. When we put the new engine in we deleted the omp. The engine is still running strong with no omp and only premix. It's at about 25k kilometers now. Just letting you know cause you said to keep you updated.

Way to go !!!
my brother has one like yours exactly same year what are couple things I can do to get running up again it was running good recently just the clutch fluid holder gave out so he replaced it n now it doesn't start can you give me few things that in might be the cause of it not starting
Awesome to see that thing starting up man! I’m planning on a build for a turbo 12a thinking about doing a 44b sniper efi with a bridge intake and race/street exhaust port. Do you think the Holley will work for it or should I go with a different carb?

I think the sniper would be the jam. Just a much more consistent option. Worth the investment IMO

@@RADPotential that’s what I thought too. They make a low profile hat to match their carb which makes it a lot easier

Yessir. If you check out the sniper series I did, you can use that same hat I did. Awesome system
cool, 16 years ago, i make the same
Do these cars run OK with a second fuel filter after the pump? I have a stock filter before the fuel pump and I've always wanted to install a second inline filter under the hood before the carb, but I know Nikki carbs can be kind of particular about fuel pressure. Wasn't sure if adding a filter on that soft line going into the carb would cause any problems.

It should not have any adverse effects You can install the filter and see how your car reacts. If it is a factor, you will mostly see a bog or hesitation after a long pull through the gears. The carb will be starving for fuel if the filter restricts
These videos have been awesome. I’m going through the same thing. I bought a 85 last spring that has been sitting for the last 10 years. Mine has about 117,000 on the odometer. In your experience,how has the insides of the engines been?

Generally they are fine if you don't look at them ;) hahaha. Some engines have been in rough shape. Others are perfect. It's one of those things that's just a you will have to find out. 12a are usually super tough and run. The later 2mm apex seal engines tend to take more degradation from sitting

I blew a apex seal on the rear rotor assembly, shutter valve stuck closed not getting enough oil. Drove it a mile and a half home.

I drove my silver SA 4.5hrs home from DGRR on one rotor. Clocked the idle to 2500rpm and never shut it off the whole way
Is it for sale?
