Hi everyone.
I'm just about to buy a 1st generation RX7, but actually haven't the faintest idea on what pitfalls to look out for.
What is likely to be wrong with an RX7 of this age? (1984), the general condition of the car looks good, the engine starts up 1st time & has good performance, it has had a recent engine rebuild & new clutch (10k miles ago).
Is there anything special I should look for? Hidden areas that rot away, expensive seals that may have shrunk????

Woops! - just found thread re Grizzly's exact same query - along with comprehensive response. Anything further to worry about?
