Crap Can Racing - New Member

I hope I don't offend anyone but I have just acquired a 1984 RX7 GSL-SE for $200 and intend on racing it in the 24 Hours of LeMons and ChumpCar series.

Hello, just want to find out a few things. I have heard that this model has some weird rear linkage in the rear suspension that I should get rid of if I want to race it. I have no idea what this could be. This is my first rotary car.

We have been racing a 1978 Triumph Spitfire and the first race for the RX7 will not be until December 2012. We have plenty of time to autocross it and take it to track days, install the roll cage and prep the car.

If you are unfamiliar with this form of racing, check it out. You take a crappy car, add the safety equipment and go endurance racing, trying to keep the crap can running.

Any advice on this model will be welcome, I will be searching the forum for advice too.
