New to rotary, decided to give the piston/rod combo a break. My name is Corey, living in Virginia as of now. Honda's were my huge passion for a long time untill a friend of mine noticed that I was in pursuit of another project and he introduced me to the rx-7. I ended up finding one a few days later and picked it up fairly cheap. I will keep the "newb" posts to a minimum. I'm quite excited to get started, just gonna start with the s5 swap in the next week or so with a suspension setup and tire/wheel combo. There's tons of good info on here, can't wait to get my hands dirty! Forgot to mention it's an 88' NA. Any advice on where to start with a good tune in the DC, Metro area?

 

Welcome to the club, Corey!

I hope that you find all the info you need to get your FC to where you want it. Please share pics when you get a chance.

Welcome

 

Im in a similar boat as you. Ive always loved fd's and some day ill have one!

 

Welcome. U will fall in love with ur new purchase.

good luck

 

You're in good hands. These boards are the truth.

 

Welcome to the club man I hope you enjoy and I hope I led you in the right direction. lol

 

Welcome!

 

Hello and welcome. I've picked up a few parts from rotary performance in Manassas. Its a really neat place with a lot of projects going on. http://www.rp-performance.com/


Have fun with your new car.

 

Welcome! I'm pretty new here too but I made pretty much the exact same switch as you. Good call with the FC

 

well guys, ive came a long ways since i bought the FC, got the s5 turbo swap in. Now just looking for the body/frame harness/ and the harness for under the dash (that might be all one piece, not sure). once i get these i should have it atleast running. any sources for these parts?

 

ive always been into vw's and since i bought my fb ive never looked back. I love my 7.

 

i too have converted from the honda game, best of luck to you.

 

Im another one that came from the honda game and all i can say is once you go rotary you dont go back. front wheel drive suxxxxxx... welcome to the club

 

Welcome!! Nice pick up

 

from piston to rotary to piston to rotary again lol. I came from owning a nissan 240sx s13 tho. I was always into rwd.

Oh, and welcome!

 

so, the swap was on hold for about a week, due to my lack of accurate knowledge obviously, but through some research ive finally found out how to make this swap work with alot less effort than i was first told. once i have the car running with no issues, ill consider doing a write up on how i did it. there may already be a write up, but im sure there are people out there who dont quite understand it all due to being so new to rotary, like me. ive been taking pictures through the whole process, ill post those as well. more info to follow.....

 

They certainly can
