It's my time to leave

The time has come to leave my N/a Brethren and join the turbo clan. As of next Thursday the 23 of May, I will be the proud owner of a turbocharged FC. I am ready to take the step and bid my fellow N/A'rs adue. While I have loved the Non-turbo Rx-7 very much, i feel that i am better suited for a turbo'd "R EX". She is bright red and i should have some pics up next week sometime. It needs a new engine but its ready to fly.

Yo,


You ain't leavin', we're kickin' you out! Go! *sniff* We didn't like you anyways....

*grin*


Just kidding, that's cool man. Make sure you get an FCD and a Jspec spare and all that. All that turbo stuff.


Let us know your driving impressions between the two!

And post pics!

Welcome aboard Im sure you'll love the Turbo just as much, if not more... It's my first turbo car and I love it so much more than my past NA's, it's just fun to have it spool up and put ya in your seat

Yeah she already needs a new motor. So i figure when i sell my N/A the 87 TII will become an 89-91 street port . I have had fun with the N/A and I will be a new comer to the powers of FI. All i can say now is that you stock N/A ers out there will beat the pants off me when i get it. I'm afraid that the original motor is in dire need of a long rest, SHE'S DYING. But i already do like the throw your head back in the seat torque of it. I liked the always available power of the N/A this whole spooling up to get power feels kinda weird but I can't wait to get her. I drove her last night( Thursday) and i can't wait to own her on Tuesday or Thursday!! Now all i gotta do is work out all the bugs.
