Translation:

Hello everyone, I purchased a 1985 Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE for $50. This is the FB model with the 13B fuel injected rotary in it, but most of you already were aware of such.

It didn't run when I purchased it, which would explain the purchase price of $50.

I was able to get it running, though. Here is what I did, it may help you in the future:

I changed the fuel pump, the fuel filter, and the fuel pressure sensor. I installed new spark plugs and wires. After I had started it I had thought that the catalytic converters and muffler were not functioning properly. I, of course, did not have much funds to spend on quality replacements, so I used glass pack mufflers. It now backfires, but playing with the timing helped that. It will run well, but not as well as I would like.

email me at anti_tranquil@yahoo.com if you really need some help. I can point you to some guys I know that live in Arkansas that know more about rotaries than most people. If you do end up junking it, I'll give you $100 for it and I'll come and fix it in your driveway and drive it home.
