lol... the front end is from Erebuni and i got the full kit from www.nopionline.com for 701 dollars shipped to my house.
The paint is shiny simply because i had it painted about 3 weeks ago haha.
Thanks a lot for the comments... for the paintjob, body work, and the purchase of the body kit it came to about 1500 dollars. I feel really guilty about it cuz i coulda boughten the J-Spec motor i am currently making payments on, however i love the way my car looks and it has come a loooooong way since i got it.
And the fact that i was complimented by DirectFreak, who owns the fuckign sweetest looking car, is an honor.
Here is a pic of the car when i got it:

That's really clean lookin 
My car needs paint and all the other little things to get it perfect. It's all the little stuff that bugs me. Power is inconsistent too 
Now let's see if I can get this pic to work.

I wasn't getting pissed off because of the comments, but the fact that I came here looking for some help, and I got nothing but hassle. It's fine if you all think I should keep the 13b, however, it'd be really great to know why I should keep it. And so far, nobody has given me that information.

...94% correct.
13b's are strong and light to match the car. Heavier engines, though stronger, throw the near perfect balance the car has off. Even a 302 puts enough weight on the front axle line and in front of to cause the rear to be very "happy"...an FB's rear is already a little happy due to the lack of IRS...it doesn't need anymore help.
13B's are also as reliable as any other engine if propper mainanance (like any other engine) is given.
The water seals hardly ever go out unless the engine is flat out not taken car of.
Apex seals are like fords cracked heads.
A 13b with an aggressive port (250ish whp) can be built for the cost of the engine and $500. A 13B can be pulled from the car, tore down, ported and rebuilt in less than 12 hours.

Keep it, because it's easier to work on, and makes the car worth more as an Rx7.
Its a clean car, nice version of an Rx-7. You'll learn alot about the 7 here. I bought mine in January of this year, knowing NOTHING about rotaries, and now I'm parting another one out just to learn more about them.
The rotary fever will get to you, after browsing the forum some more. They are very intriguing engines, and its alot of fun to have people gawk at the car all the time asking questions about them.
There are people that do the V8 swap, but for the money, if you really want a V8 car, you can probably just sell your 7, and buy a nice Mustang or something of that V8 nature.
You'll learn to ignore the smartass comments too. Welcome to the forum.

Cody, I appreciate it. Same for you Makenzie.
But C, just for future refference, I hate Mustangs. I don't generally like american cars. We don't have any business making cars or beer in my opinion. I also hate american beers. But that's just personal taste. Imported beers, and imported cars just suit me more.

If nothing else, do it this way. Run the 13B til it pops...by then, if it happens, you'll know what to do.

lol towards the rednecks. I grew up in a very redneck town. Kind of funny how I turned out hating almost everything everybody else in the town does. (with the acception of cars, motorcycles and fighting)

If you really power (even though with a streetported 13b with big cone air filter, RB header, ~2.25 cat-back exhaust and a high flowing muffler and you are already in serious power business right there alone... an aluminum flywheel and stage 2 clutch will also substantionally increase acceleration), then do a J-Spec S5 13bt swap with 205 hp out of the box. Just keep it rotary and expand your mind.
