Thanks for telling me all this, but a rad is $300? DAMN!!! yea, screw that, ill just have it repaired or pluged if its bad, thanks for the hints tho, and screw air suspension, ill get suspension off a mazda or toyota or something, we put mazda rx-7 front struts on my friends AE-86. And this is going to be my winter car, then im going to spend the summer restoring it, i have no idea how the engine is yet and i doubt for $900 they will take it to a shop for compression check(i dont have the gauge pump thingey) Im pretty much buying it as is and going to replace stuff as it breaks, but im overjoyed to hear they have good engines because this thing has got to last. I hope i get as much enjoyment out of it as i do my 1990 RX-7, you can check it out at www.halffastauto.cjb.net , i plan on doing the same amount of work to this XT, i love restoring old Japenese cars.
And i know all about oil changes, Any rotary has oil injection to keep it lubed, you gotta put a quart in per month if you drive it alot, and they smell like 2 strokes, but they dont smoke or leak.
