Back in the club

So i have been out the rotary game for a few years and now I am back. I ran up on a deal for an FD I couldn't pass up on. Its a 93 that is mostly stock and i have no idea its history. I can tell that i has some solenoids removed from the rats nest so its running nonseq. Its got 139k on the clock so the engine has to be a rebuild. I know you guys are thinking that i have no idea what i am getting into but I got it at a dealer auction for less than what most shells go for and it runs well. Starts on the first try and no hot start issues. On the down side i now realize that i am getting old.

I have been DDing the car for a couple of weeks and i dont remember my last FD being this hard to get in and out of. That FD was a nightmare it was my only car and the guy that worked on it for me totally riped me off. So now that i am older i hope things will be different. Nice to meet you guys. Does anybody have any optinions on what i should do or check first?

Time to start a rigorous stretching regimen to make it easier to get in and out of your FD! Flexibility is key!

Welcome to the club.
