I finally got inspired to work on a car and apply the very rudimentary knowledge I have of mechanics. The first car that came to mind was the RX-7 (FC), but I looked around at other '80s cars too, such as MR2s, 944s, and Preludes. The RX-7 was always my favorite looking car, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to get a rotary because I have no experience and it seemed like there would be more complications with an atypical engine. My friends recommended looking at an older (series 1) RX-7 because there would be less electronics and it would be easier for me to start with. Fortunately, I liked how the FB looked even more than the FC. Just by chance an ad for a used and functional 1985 GSL-SE came up and even though it is fuel injected, I didn't think I could pass up that opportunity!

Here are the more significant things on my laundry list:
1. new front suspension
2. fix tiny, tiny oil leak
3. fix small windshield leak
4. new tires
5. hook up speedometer

Thanks!

Hiya, and welcome! Reckon you made the right choice there. The FC looks like a not-quite-as-nice 944 but the FB looks like a much nicer 924 As to Preludes.... eh? What an anonymous car, even for a Honda, lol. Can't say anything about MR2s as the Boss is an MR2 sufferer... errrr, I mean owner

Get us some pics if you get a chance, we all love pics lol. In my experience fixing a tiny oil leak is a good way of guaranteeing it'll spring a much larger one somewhere else

Hi and Welcome.
Sounds like you have picked yourself up a real solid car if your to do list is so short.
Pictures are always appreciated here.
Cheers

Hi,
welcome to the forum, GSL-SE...... nice cars, shame they were only ever available in the US, I'd have loved one.
