1988 Mazda RX7 FC review from North America
"A blast to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At start up it floods: so the previous owner put a switch on the fuel pump, and you turn it off at start up, and it starts, and then you turn it on and it seems to run fine that way for the most part. I'm going to keep it that way (might put in an aircraft switch, just because it looks cooler)
Sunroof needs a little push to get it open: don't know what I can do to fix that other than replace it.
Check coolant light keeps coming on: going to check the sensor and wire; hope it's just something minor like that, not sure though.
General comments?
So far the car has been OK. Just started working on it. Will do a better review once I'm finished and have used it more.
