Back with a rotary!

Sold my FD in March for a cheaper car, then eventually I now ended up back at an FC, woo! Needs a little bit of love, but I got it pretty cheap.



Nasty nasty "Core Racing" aka Motegi MR7 knockoff chrome wheels


Ridic tach as well..


Oh yea, gonna throw my Nardi Deep Corn on it when my NRG quick release arrives this week


Not sure what kind of catback is on it, but its loud as hell, but in a good way for once, nice deep throaty sound!

Just gotta get some nice wheels for it, and a lip....Any suggestions for wheels? I want something fairly dishy, and lower offset of course.

I did the same thing as you. I sold my FD because of other financial obligations and was with out a rotary for a few years. That sucked, and I wanted another RX-7 so I got a 91 TII. Ive had it for two years and after the initial fun of another turbo rotary reality sunk in real quick. Its a great little car but if you had any sort of attachment to your former FD, this is not going to be enough for you. I just purchased another FD so its "so long" to the TII.

Bought it off a friend, I think its an older one because its slim and leather wrapped, whereas the brand new ones look like this:

I vote racing seats, odura lip or shine lip, Sportmax 962 in the gunmetal or gold/brnz color, header, make your own CAI (not just cone filter), eibach or tein springs w/ sport valved shocks, strut tower bars, and tune up!!!

I don't think 11" wheels would be beneficial on an n/a

Took a couple shots in the mid day sun
