HI new here and to the Rx-7 world!!

So i have been driving 240sx for almost 6-7 years but now i have transfered over to the rotor world!!... I live in cali and the cops here hate 240sx with motor swaps so thats why i went to the Rx-7 since they are legal turbo'd cars!!

well hello to everyone...

well in cali it is illegal to have a motor swap from a different car... so a SR is really out of the question now and days... unless you could keep it really BONE stock look.. which i seem to not be able to do.. so yea

Yikes...

Not that I know Cali smog laws, but there are a handfull of guys that have swapped ls1, 2, and 7 engines in their FD's and have them registered in Cali. I remember reading that they had to call the regional CARB rep and go through a bunch of crap but they were able to do it.
