Rotary n00b checking in

Hey all,

I just purchased my first rotary-engined car yesterday and P71 suggested I come here for assistance in fixing it up and buying needed parts. I bought a 1987 Mazda RX-7 GXL, blue/blue, 5-speed, 98K on the body/10K on a dealer rebuilt/installed 13B engine. It was the victim of a break-in and is missing a bunch of interior bits, and there are a few electrical oddities (i.e. the wipers were Mickey-Moused to work off a toggle switch). Mechanically it's fine other than a sloppy shifter (shifter bushings?). The body needs paint but there's no major rust. It's a fixer-upper for sure, but I have all winter to work on it. My eventual goal is a nice summer toy and autocrosser. I also own a 98 Subaru Impreza 2.2l coupe that is my daily driver and winter beater.

Glad to meet you all!
Jonathan
