If you are talking about Ohiorotaries meets than yes, it will be going to some. You know if you just want to come out and talk cars you are more than welcome too. You dont have to have a running rotary to attend. You just dont get to park alongside all the rotary cars is all lol

What a great story, great find and a great price too!
That SA would be worth over $10K in this neck of the woods.

Great find! You practically stole that car. I would love to have that stock SA to park next to my modded SA.

I would love to see this car in person. What a find. I found a GTUs awhile back in beautiful condition except for the engine was baked. I never buffed the paint out though. Meguires Show car glaze really brought the paint back. It could use a buff out but not yet.
Your interior is spectacular. Your car needs to be made showroom perfect again. Probably wouldn't take much. Wow!

No pics, but today was kinda a sad day. The car had been backfiring pretty badly since I had gotten it running. It was usually only on decel. The exhaust was falling apart, so I yanked it off to inspect it. Despite not breaking a single bolt taking everything off, its unusable. It is a genuine factory original exhaust, its been with the car its entire life. Well, today I had to remove it, and it isnt going back on. The heat exchanger has holes in it, and it isnt really salvageable. In order to ensure the thermal reactor doesnt overheat and collapse, I removed it. The backfires were on occasion on par with lighting off a cannon. Further inspection revealed the muffler had exploded (Pics soon!)
The car now has a 1985 Exhaust manifold (Modified for SA housings), and a custom exhaust. Its quiet though, which is pretty nice. The new exhaust is loads lighter, and 2 inch versus the inch and 7/8's of the factory system. But the backfiring has been cured, and she is running great. Idling (ROCK SOLID) at 600 rpm!

Had no choice, the old exhaust had to come off...
A new one went on... And I just took it on a short little road trip, about twenty miles one way. Still building up trust, but she is running great so far!

Looks excellent. I bet that thing will run for years and years as is.

Had a photo-shoot with the car before I left to work all weekend. Drove the car all over locally, used it to run errands, and just to cruise.
There is a semi-truck scale behind my house, weighed the car for fun! This is sans thermal reactor exhaust, and a half tank of fuel. Pretty pleased with the progress so far, going to pull the engine at some point and clean it. Otherwise not much else to do right now!
