OMG what to do

I have been putting some serious work into both my RX7s, I have the 87 T2 that was wrecked, so ive been rebuilding and modding, and I have the GSL FB that I am putting a 6 port 13b and a twin dhla 40mm carb set up on.

My question to you fellow FB owners is what do i finish first. I still have to put the FC back into paint and reinstall everything and finish up all the mods. The FB needs its own personal catalog from RE Speed for some suspension work and I need to get the rest of the bits together for the carb setup and the ignition sorted out.

Finish the 2nd gen first. That way you know what you are missing

Honestly though, 2nd gen. It will be good for a DD, and then you have the first gen to take the time on, port it and build up a killer suspension setup with. You will love it in the end.

I say finish the FC first as well. I'm just making an assumption that you're putting more suspension work into the FB, and if that is the case it will be quite a bit harsher than the FC on the street.

Plus, taking more time with the FB means that the FB will be of better quality (in theory), and it is the one that deserves to be better quality.
