    Im not trying to be an @$$ but everyone I know that has had a rotary engine ****ing hates them. They have an @$$ load of electrical problems, a short life span, and they're just plain not reliable. I love RX7's and I love the sound or a rotary engine but they are more trouble than they are worth. If I were you I would swap in a 1jz, 2jz, RB, or even a V8 if ur into that kinda thing. Since you said its a project, a motor swap shouldn't be a problem, and you'll be much more happy in the end.

    Once again Im not trying to be an @$$ Im just giving you my opinion.
    Very clean FC, one of the straightest bodies I've seen.

    Im not trying to be an a$$ but the electrical problems are just 20year old solderpoints in the ECU, the short life span of turbos are because of the turbo and usually poor matinance. Its about as much trouble as any other 20year old car . Parts are easly as avaible as pistion engines but other then that, rotarys are nice to you if you are nice to them.

    But to the O.P. Great find. Clean as mess, and as someone else said, start saving for a rebuild kit. Turbos usually last around 15-120k. But if you pull then engine soon you will save yourself the trouble of having to get a new rotor and rotor housing with the rebuild kit. You want to hit up Rx7club.com for info. They have links to everything you need somewhere in the 2nd gen secton. Good luck and when my 7 is running a meet is going down!
    P.s.(you paid wayyy too much for that thing.)
