Comes back as an '83 Japan car, 145hp, they got the smaller motors over there.
Careful.. plenty of 2 cylinder RX-7's out there that will smoke your 928 :P

(well ok, technically they're not "cylinders" per se..)

Rotary envy. We've got a great buddy here that is a huge Rx fan. He's done some fun work with them. He's slowly coming over to the dark side. But he needs to get rid of a few of those odd cars.

Would it be too much to ask to check mine as well? Just bought it couple of days ago.

Thanks, your a huckleberry!

The seller of the car was local. He works for the VW proving grounds. Very knowledgeable and took care of the car. Unfortunately he was going through a divorce. Easy deal.

I don't know of a non "messy" way to get PET7. I found a thread to link to some Russian **** site, downloaded, and messed with it until I got it to english. Google PET7 download and you will get some links, but like I said, messy is likely.
