You officially earned my respect! (not that it means much) by not bitching me out like I thought you might. Way to be a good seven owner, A+!

would it be more cost effective to just get a s5 JSpec RX7?
It seems like all this swapping of motors, interior, turbo, suspoension, then buying mods... wow, thats sum bux.

I'd just take a HUGE short cut and buy a car that didnt need to be re-enginnered just to get started!

Anything else and you can ask a couple people who I put
graphics on their cars this weekend. We had a NW Rotor
meet here in Carnation. Tell me and I'll get someone to
photo the back of their car.

I mean you are right but where am I going to find one in Texas? Yet alone Houston. If you can find one for me in Houston, Tx for less than 800 with a good motor then PM the link.

i thought houston had a great import scene?! You should be able to get jspec cars imported to FL right? 800 is a good deal, but it isn't cost efficient in the long run.

Good luck tho.

I just want to know if waiting to do the RHD conversion later will be MORE of a hassle as opposed to doing it before the T2 switch thats all.

and Max I'm sure your not doing T2 swaps and RHD swaps... that 10k you've spent is probably mods, upkeep, and replacements.
