    Mazda Rx-7 (FD3S)

    I recently bought one I´m asking little help because I know nothing about them. its got only 20 000 miles but I´m afraid to start it because its been stored for years battery is dead etc. what would you suggest to do before i start it. new battery and oil and just start it up ?

    Just in case, get yourself some mixed gas and get some into the chambers of the rotors and let it sit long enough to free up any potentially siezed apex seals, usually let it sit for around an hour, unplug injectors and your ignition source and turn the engine over a few times with the starter. Before your first fire up change the oil, a flush and new filter wouldn't hurt.

    I'm sure that Evo would bring in a few good pennies to afford one!

    Coolant systems are notoriously weak for even stock power levels.
