Nothing, we can run the gamut with the Prima stuff I have.

Unless you like a particular wax, then get some of that.

I know nothing about wax, lol. This RX-7 is the first car I've ever owned that is was worthy.

I cleaned my K&N filter finally. I do still need to mess a little more with the idle but it is really close.

I finally got the car running good. I'll need to replace the spark plugs soon but otherwise it is good. I also washed the car including under the hood.

Sweet! Fingers crossed for no more problems, at least anytime soon. I mean, let's be realistic. Lol

I just ordered spark plugs, brake pad shims, and an oil pressure sender. The brakes have been squealing since we messed with the pads a while back. No one sells the shims locally but I was able to find them on rock auto. I have hawk hps pads on the front that have years of life left in them so I didn't want to just get new pads. My oil pressure gauge is not working right, sometimes it shows 60 sometimes it shows 10. I'm hoping the the new sending unit fixes the problem. I really don't want to pull the cluster out and mess with the gauge itself.

I swapped in the new oil pressure sender. My gauge still isn't working right. I'm going to have to pull the cluster and re-solder the gauge.

I just filled my gas tank and I'm still getting 18-19 mpg around town with my aggressive driving. That is a big improvement over 15-16 mpg. I'm going to swap out my spark plugs when the new ones come in.

Just caught up your build, Chris, doing a great job! Crazy how much the 1st gen market has increased in price recently, a good SA or FB is worth some coin now. I've always wanted one.

Thanks. Yes they have. Mine has doubled in value since I got it.
