I recently picked up a white 83 for free, as a family had it just sitting around untouched and wanted it out of the yard. Had a MINT interior, but wouldn't start due to a bad clutch.
Anyhoo, its a great little car, and is pretty quick despite its minimal HP #'s. With the first gens or just about ANY rx7, there are two major things. First, make SURE your cooling system is working flawlessly, as these things will overheat the first chance they get. The other thing is change your oil religiously, at least every 3000 miles. If you do a rebuild, yes, upgrade to the newer seals. With the proper maintenance, I've seen rx7's go over 200k without any problems.
