Welcome welcome welcome...

There are plenty of Canadians here for you to talk to, as well as a regional Canadian forum on the forum selection page (I think). Anyway, good to have you here .

My friend was just telling me about it, I was curious about it. So don't worry. But however I also want too know how much do the turbo motors go for from the second gen . There is no need to be harsh and immature.

I believe you can pick up a rebuilt j-spec TII motor, tranny, and of course all the turbo components for around $4,000

Just gonna hail ya in from another Canuck

Ontario eh? Whereabouts? I'm in and around Ottawa, so if you aren't in southern Ontario you might have a local on your hands :P

I guess you've already learned a few valuable lessons in your first thread. Use the search... and never... NEVER talk about piston-conversions, unless you wanna get .

Hit me up with a PM, and welcome to the board.

That purple RX-7 is a custom kit, just keep that in mind for later.

It'll be this one and no, there is no bodykit, a 600cfm Holley won't work on a stockport 12A, there is no big brake kit available for the 1stgens that won't cost twice as much as what you paid for the car to begin with, always go with a Mallory fuel pump when the time comes, and never set your own floats unless your well acquainted with carb science to begin with...and Manntis is a neat guy, check out his site...http://www.rotorhead.ca/

I guess i'm the only non-noobie on this forum who really really likes the time and effort spent to create such a beautiful adaptation of an FB. If only mine looked that sweet. One of my future FB's will i'm sure.

So the Supra wing brings a tear to the eye, eh? You need to seek counseling...just because someone took the time and $$$ to execute a bodykit right doesn't necessarily make it desirable...and dat one ain't...it completely eliminates any rexxiness and turns into a jellybean of the 90's like so mnay forgettable cars from that time...poor man's 300ZX...
