Hi all, soon to be an FB owner.

Thanks for the warm welcome from the admins, I joined the site to try to get some background information having been to have a look at a 1983 RX7 FB. The guy doesn't really want to sell it but the pressure's on from his wife! It's been in storage for 4-5 years, but according to the seller there was nothing wrong with it when he laid it up (I have taken this with the appropriate pinch/handful of salt). I offered him a deposit, but he said he wanted to think about it. I should know tomorrow whether he'll sell it or not.
If I do end up as the new owner, are there any tips for removing it from storage and getting the engine running in such a way as to prevent any damage or gumming up the carb?
Look forward to being part of things on here and hopefully dabbling in the rotary side of things.

Might be a good 'un though, certainly got to be worth a try. There's an excellent guide on what to check over when inspecting an FB to buy on the site here. They can hide structural rust quite well, so be stern with it, lol. Best of luck, see if you can get some pics of it for wise heads here to look at if it helps?
