Sorry guys... I defected

https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/i-bought-fd-%2Apics%2A-56k-beware-549695/

My 82 is so mad at me that it won't start and I killed the battery... I had it backed into the driveway so it could see the reason it was ousted, if I hadn't done that I think it would have started right up.

I love the simplicity of 1st gens, but I love the power of sequential turbos too...

I'm not thinking about selling the 82 yet because I've put a ton of money into it and it won't go for much with the shell in the shape it is.

Anyways... once a 1st gen owner, always a 1st gen owner, right?

ps most you guys are nicer over here... lol.

Nice.
I went the other way, I had the FD first, and bought the FB to tool around town in.

Anyway, enjoy the new car, and don't get too frustrated with the sequential turbo problems, I have a few myself, and they're all too common. The only cure, is a bigass single turbo.
