The Rocketeer
Well,
Here she is. One owner with every document of the Montego Blue's history. He has owned it for 21 years and it is in great shape. [Extremely minor things here and there that couldn't hurt the sale]
Was purchased in Bay City, Michigan. Yes, I checked for rust. Non. This was a garage queen and was well maintained as I glanced over many receipts rubberbanded together. Its been in Florida for over 10 years now and worked on by Lowes Automotive in Sarasota who specializes in Rotaries and Rx7s.
Without Further Adieu,

I am really hoping we will get a build thread for this rare bird? This has always been one of my personal dream cars growing up.
Pettit Racing down in Ft. Lauderdale, FL was a one of the big promoters of the RX-7 back when these cars came out, anything from mild to wild, maybe pay them a visit?

I will definitely be using their services in the future for any rebuilds and installations. Jeanne and I want to keep it super clean and close to a stock look without hurting the value of the car when it becomes a classic with tasteful mods. I'd love to have a real 99 speed bumper and taillights but we'll see what we can do because she said no to the spoiler already.

I just performed a fluid change for the transmission and the differential with 2.5 quarts of royal purple 75w90 in the transmissionand 1.5 in the diff.
I had documents that it was changed at 93k and the car is at 126k. The transmission fluid look clean. It might even have been done last year I'm not sure. The receipt though that I have shows 2005 is when it was performed at 93k. The differential however looks like it was never changed. It was murky unlike the transmission. All the nuts came off easy with pb blaster, wire brushing around the bolt, and tapping the 1/2 inch drive 24 mm socket with a rubber mallet. Only bolt to give me a sweat was the fill plug in the transmission. But still I was successful.
Car feels amazing now. Wow. I love gear oil.
