I am doing all this but no idea if I need to lol I have no idea if everything is factory or if anything is upgraded. I did see on the inside of the driver door there is a sticker that says the motor was replaced in 08. Like I said, never even heard of a rotary until a month ago!
Premix is a good thing. That will lubricate better, and help minimize carbon build up.

Also good that the motor has already been replaced. 04~06 are bad about compression loss.

If you come out to a meet sometime, it'll be easy to tell you if you have factory coils, or the 1.4kw starter starter.
